Various agencies prepare for public referendum

BANGKOK, 12 April 2016 (NNT) - The National Legislative Assembly has called for a meeting with relevant agencies to discuss the organization of the public referendum, while the Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Thai Army has expressed his confidence in the referendum moving the country forward.

Meanwhile, Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Thai Army Gen Teerachai Nakvanich has advised political parties to trust in the public's judgement, expressing his confidence that the draft constitution will lead to national progress.

Gen Teerachai said that the Royal Thai Army will aid in educating the public on the contents of the draft constitution. He added that all military personnel and their families should take part in the referendum, which he believes will serve as the country's first step towards democracy.
