Charter will not contain crisis panel: Alongkorn
Play
Alongkorn Ponlaboot, vice president of National Reform Steering Assembly (NRSA), has said the new constitution will not include a crisis panel like the National Strategic Reform and Reconciliation Committee to help drive reform.
Alongkorn spoke Monday while visiting the Constitution Drafting Commission (CDC) which is on retreat in Petchaburi’s Chaam district. He submitted the NSRA’s proposals for the constitution.
He said the main focus of the proposals was for the CDC to ensure the charter contained an organic law that made sure the reform work continued.
Alongkorn said the NSRA also wanted the 11-point reform plan to be included in the charter draft in line with articles 27 and 35 of the 2014 interim constitution.
He added that the NSRA did not specify how the reform agenda should be put in the draft.
