The NLA has 200 junta-appointed members.¹

But there were only 167 votes regarding the vice president of the Supreme Administrative Court with 22 abstentions - a total 189.

It was 189 on another recent NLA legislation action.

Nice to know that the missing 11 NLA members are irrelevant - perhaps military officers on military assignments. Unfortunately, the Thai taxpayer will be paying both military salary and NLA salary for these members if military officers.

¹Although on one vote taken in 2015 there were 208 members accounted for in an NLA legislative action.

Wonder if that NLA salary x 11 is as much as the taxpayers paid for a now show PM + DM + Rice Committee chair? Should we include her expenses too?
