NLA: no obstacles so far over last two organic laws

By The Nation

 

The National Legislative Assembly said it is aware of the junta’s roadmap towards an election late next year, and so far it does not see any signs of legal obstacles against its upcoming deliberation of the last two organic bills, which concern the election of MPs and the Senate.

 

Pornpetch Wichitcholchai, NLA president, said on Wednesday that the assembly would deliberate the two bills on Thursday, November 30 and it would work on them within the deadline given as best it could.

 

The NLA president said he could not say at this point whether the laws would be approved in their first reading. The NLA normally deliberates a bill in three readings. Once the bill has passed the first reading, a law-vetting committee is set up to scrutinise the passed bill and make changes to it. Those changes are subject to further deliberation in the second and third readings.

 

The two bills are the last of the 10 organic laws required by the charter and among the four necessary for the coming election.

 

The junta announced that it would hold the election late next year, with the condition that the organic laws necessary for the election were promulgated.

There are no legal obstacles when you have 44. You can make anything happen at anytime.

Nice admission that the junta-appointed NLA doesn't see any signs of legal obstacles interfering with the junta's roadmap. Nor does the junta as Prayut just invokes Article 44 to do any legislative cleanup himself.
