CDC: Next week’s meeting will conclude first draft

BANGKOK, 10 January 2016 (NNT) – The Constitution Drafting Commission (CDC) will reconvene next week to conclude the first draft of the permanent charter.

Dr. Amorn Wanichwiwatana, CDC spokesperson, said the charter drafting team will gather in Phetchaburi Province between January 11th and January 17th, which is the last week of the drafting of the new charter.

The complete draft must be finished before the end of this month before being forwarded to various government agencies for a public review.

He said the public is advised to study and understand the draft before the upcoming public referendum which will take plane in July. He has therefore asked all sides to help publicize the draft.

He added that the contents of the permanent constitution will be presented in a way that the public can understand it easily.

Yawn, ...

But they have some pretty big cajones to label it the first draft of the permanent charter.

If anything and time will tell , the CDC has probably set a record for the longest draft, and unless the people agree with this draft, it would be a complete waste of time and money, however the cost on these constitutional changes over decades would total hundreds of millions of Baht to Thailand's economy , something Junta's don't take into account when acquiring Government to promote Happiness......................................................... ..

"He added that the contents of the permanent constitution will be presented in a way that the public can understand it easily"

I am guessing that the draft has to be presented in a way that the Thai people can understand easily, because he thinks they are all idiots.
