NRSA to deliberate reform laws on Aug 16

Kitti Cheevasittiyanon

 

BANGKOK, 14 August 2016 (NNT) - The National Reform Steering Assembly has set a schedule to deliberate the national reform and related laws. 

NRSA Speaker Tinnapan Nakata has cancelled the planned meeting of all assembly members on August 15 and scheduled a new session on August 16 instead. 

At the upcoming sitting, the NRSA’s agenda is the acknowledgement of the Cabinet’s consideration of suggestions on national reform related to Article 31 of the Constitution, which focuses on the preparation of police reform. 

Members of the assembly will also discuss the development of plans and laws needed for the national reform process. 

After the new Constitution is in effect, the NRSA’s role will focus on the proposition of reform-related laws within 120 days of the day the new charter is brought into use.

A great first step would be to seperate the police from the government so the PM cannot put his or her best mate in the lead role.

Do you really believe that anything or anyone here is or can be truly independent   ?

In keeping with current and ongoing logic, I foresee mandatory pregnancy testing for all men between the ages of 13 and 20.

You may have forgotten Prayut's Best Mate DPM Prawit's viewpoint on the matter:

"Regarding the police reform process, the deputy premier argued that the selection of the National Police Commissioner-General should be kept under the responsibility of the Royal Thai Police Board, which is chaired by the Prime Minister, instead of being assigned to the Office of the Police Commission."

So, an "overwhelming majority" of Thais voted at referendum to accept what is now called the "People's Constitution", yet the junta and its cronies are continuing to "deliberate" on reform laws using Section 31 Para. 1 of the 2014 Interim document, i.e.:

 

The National Reform Council shall have the powers and duties as follows:

 

1. to study, analyze and propose the guideline and proposal for the reform of any field under section 27 to the National Legislative Assembly, the Council of Ministers, the National Council for Peace and Order and other related agencies;

 

After over two years of procrastination about police reform, why are they now in such a hurry to do this? And, why are they not waiting to progress this reform under the Constitution of the Kingdom of Thailand
2016 Section 258 Item D. Judicial Process Para. 4?

 

Enforce law efficiently by revising the laws pertaining to duties, powers, and missions of the police to be more appropriate and the laws concerned with personnel administration of police officials to be more efficient, and clear guarantees for all police officials of proper remuneration and fairness in the appointment, transfer, and consideration of merit allowance according to the moral system, with due attention given to seniority and competence in the appointment and transfer to enable police officials to perform their duties in a free, independent of any person, and effective manner and with pride of performing duties.

 

Surely, the real reform work must be to assist the CDC in its task of:

• first amending the constitution to reflect the changes in the selection of PM, as voted for by the people in the second question in the referendum; and,
• then the promulgating the organic laws as defined in Section 130.

Completion of the latter task then starts the 150-day count-down to the election (http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/937147-pm-prayut-announces-the-next-steps-to-be-taken-after-the-referendum/)!

 

Incidentally, how would you handle the second question that faced Thai voters on referendum day (see attachment):

 

Do you approve that for contributing continuity of the country reform according to the national strategic plan, it should be stipulated in the Transitory Provisions of the Constitution of the Kingdom of Thailand that for the duration of 5 years from the first sitting of the National Assembly under this constitution; the joint sitting of the two chambers of the National Assembly shall convene to consider approving a person to be appointed as the Prime Minister?

Thailand does it bests to remain a 3rd world country.

I can write the new reform laws for them already. They might read (in essence) something like this:

 

1) Thou shalt obey and revere those superior to you in the hierarchy of 'good people' and never question their wisdom or orders.

2) The police must always defer to the wiser judgment of the military sages and never stray from the path of self-enrichment or the Establishment-serving path laid down for them by the conniving elites.

3) The Thai people must at all times grovel, kowtow, worship and adore their social superiors and masters, and not for one instant dare to question their higher morality, insight and virtue.

The revised law above all revises and upgrades the previous status of the Thai people: whereas before the Thai people had but minimal power, choice and influence over their political rulers, from now on - they will have NONE WHATSOEVER!

Thus shall stand the Revised Law. So let it be proclaimed throughout the land!
