A committee will be set up to vet the bill within 58 days. Noted anti-corruption experts and former National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) members will sit on the committee, including Klanarong Chantik and Vicha Mahakun. The NLA debated key controversial points of the bill before approving it. To ensure a system of checks and balances, NACC commissioners will be subject to examination by parliamentarians if malfeasance is suspected. Meechai Ruchupan, who drafted the NACC bill, said the newly introduced checks and balances mechanism would be further considered by the NLA.
