Charter amendment not added to Parliament agenda: Chuan
The amendment of the Constitution has not been added to the agenda when Parliament reconvenes on November 1, House Speaker Chuan Leekpai said.
He said the panel set up to examine charter amendment drafts is scheduled to complete its task by October 22, but added that it is likely the panel will want an extension on the deadline.
As for the iLaw “draft” with more than 100,000 signatures, Chuan said 100 officials have been given five days to examine the document and send their results to the Interior ministry.
Once approved by the ministry, the iLaw petition will be added to the Parliament agenda and the public will have 30 days to voice their opposition.
