BANGKOK: -- Chief constitution writer Meechai Ruchupan yesterday said all independent agencies, including the Constitutional Court, would be treated equally regarding the disqualification of members as stipulated by new organic laws, adding the Constitution Drafting Commission (CDC) had no intention to bully the Election Commission (EC).

 

The drafters were writing organic laws in accordance with the charter approved in the recent referendum, he said yesterday.
The CDC chairman was speaking at the opening ceremony of a seminar in Parliament yesterday to solicit opinions on the organic laws.

new organic laws

This phrase confuses me does it mean they are still growing them. I think they are over fertilizing them with BS. Is this typical government double speak where we assume the opposite is the real deal. Possibly speaking in tongues.

Let them fight. Give each a pair of boxing gloves and Mua Thai shorts. The establishment in-fighting will be a joy to watch.

The CDC members have said that some might have to leave office if they lacked the qualifications required under the new laws

 

If this applied across all agencies, nine tenths of the current, ahem, government would be out.
