Election timetable must be followed, says NLA boss
The National Legislative Assembly (NLA) Vice President, Surachai Liengboonlertchai, has insisted on following the road map in completing the organic laws necessary for the coming election, citing advance work done by the body. Surachai said the NLA has set up a special committee to study the organic laws in advance to reduce time in deliberation processes.
He personally believed that the NLA would meet the deadline set in the new charter. The charter requires the Constitution Drafting Commission to finish 10 organic laws, four of which necessary for the election, and the NLA is given 60 days to finish deliberating the laws.
There will be three organic laws left, which concern senators, MPs elections and National Anti Corruption Commission, Surachai said, adding the CDC has informed the NLA that it would submit two laws in late November for the NLA to being deliberations.
Other factors, including the set-up of triparte law review committees after differences emerge following the NLA’s passage of the laws, are also limited by the timeframes set in the new charter, Surachai said. He said there should not be any law-enactment factors affecting the coming election under the road map.
