BANGKOK: -- THE FORMER chairman of the 2010 government-appointed Truth for Reconciliation Commission of Thailand (TRCT) has rejected the offer to sit on the Prayut government’s reconciliation preparation committee.

Noted legal expert Kanit Na Nakorn said yesterday that he turned down the invitation as he considered that his duty with the TRCT was done. He is now busy teaching.

The former chairman said the commission had conducted an extensive study and came up with proposals for reconciliation, which have been published repeatedly and widely distributed. The public can find them easily, he said. 

The government also has a number of other knowledgeable figures that it can invite, he said.
