NRSA members and how they voted on the contentious media bill 
By The Nation

 

 

BANGKOK: -- The National Reform Steering Assembly (NRSA) voted on Monday to endorse the controversial media reform bill aimed at regulating the media in Thailand, despite serious concerns by media professionals and international organisations.

 

The draft – opposed by journalists for its capacity to undermine press freedom – would also deprive citizens of the right to information. 

 

Parts of the bill, proposed by an NRSA media reform panel chaired by ACM Kanit Suwannet, have stirred concern among media professionals, notably the proposal to set up a media professional council to regulate the industry and force media personnel to have licences. 

 

Under the initial draft, the council was empowered to issue and revoke licences. But after strong opposition, an hour before the NRSA was due to consider the draft bill on Monday, Kanit’s panel voted to remove the proposed licensing requirement and replace it with a regulation that would require certificates to be issued by media companies for their employees.

 

However, Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha yesterday assigned government legal officials to find solutions to concerns raised by media organisations over the controversial bill.

 

Some 141 members of the reform assembly endorse the new media controls, while 13 voted against them and 17 others abstained.
