webfact Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 BANGKOK, Nov 16 (TNA) – Piyabutr Saengkanokkul, secretary-general of the Progressive Movement, asked members of the parliament to pass the first reading of a people’s bill for charter amendment instead of blocking it. He told the joint sitting of the House and the Senate that the bill proposed changes to the installation and power of the Constitutional Court and other independent organizations to create checks and balances. It also proposed constitutional amendments to prevent coups and increase the roles of the opposition and House representatives. The bill would keep only one House and intensify checks. That was the reason why it increased the roles of the opposition to check the government and required a deputy parliament president and the chairs of important House committees to come from the opposition, Mr. Piyabutr said.

Eric Loh Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Dump this constitution in the bin and bring back the 1997 'people' constitution because of the degree of public participation involved in its drafting as well as the democratic nature of its articles. The current constitution is just the opposite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
