NRC panel to review use of 246 ideas for charter
Play
The National Reform Council (NRC)'s special committee monitoring and providing recommendations to the charter drafters will meet to see if the drafters have made use of any of the 246 suggestions from the NRC, the committee chairman said yesterday.
Bhairote Brohmsarn said his committee - to meet from tomorrow to Thursday in Samut Songkram province - would also compare the charter draft to the 2007 Charter. He said even though the NRC had provided many recommendations, its suggestions are not final; it will meet again to review the charter once the Constitution Drafting Committee submits it after April 17.
Meanwhile, Borwornsak Uwanno, the Constitution Drafting Committee chief, is happy with the outcome of a public forum on the new charter held in Chiang Mai on Friday and Saturday.
It featured representatives from 17 northern provinces.
Borwornsak said all the points raised during the forum would be passed on to the committee charged with reviewing the charter draft during a 60-day period from May to July.
He said forum participants presented interesting suggestions on land reform.
The committee will meet tomorrow to look at the questions for an opinion survey on the new charter before the survey is conducted.
The chairman of the subcommittee on public participation, Thawilwadee Bureekul, presented the survey.
