NRSA cops flake after not meeting for 3 weeks
Play
The National Reform Steering Assembly has not convened for a record three consecutive weeks despite its members receiving a monthly allowance of more than Bt100,000.
The NRSA usually convenes on Monday and Tuesday each week to discuss and pass report proposals or draft bill proposals concerning reform.
However, from the last week of February until this week, the Assembly called off the meetings to give its subcommittees and panels time to work.
Last month, the assembly only convened on only one day – February 20.
The move has raised questions about whether members are working hard enough.
The cancellation of the six meetings is the longest period the NRSA has not met.
NRSA members earned Bt71,230 a month for their membership of the body and receive a Bt42,330 monthly allowance for a Bt113,560 total.
