NLA defends slow setup of reconciliation panel
Play
The setting up of the National Legislative Assembly (NLA)’s special committee on building a peaceful and reconcilable society has been moving at a snail’s pace.
The reason: So many want to become committee members and take part in the process to help bring peace and reconciliation, NLA member General Akanit Muensawat said Wednesday.
He said the NLA was screening outside candidates and a large number had applied to become committee members. The National Reform Steering Committee’s political reform had nominated three people.
“We have to screen members carefully. I do not have authority to approve, but every one in the company must agree on members otherwise we might quarrel from the first meeting,’’ he said.
