Some of these were issued in 2014, Wissanu said. Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, who is also the junta chief, said the junta and the government had not officially met for long time and that with the Royal Coronation now over, it was a good time to hold this discussion, according to Wissanu. They will consider the use of absolute power under Article 44 to abolish those announcements and orders, Wissanu said. In fact, a junta meeting held on April 30 already took decisions on certain issues but Deputy Prime Minister Chatchai Salikalaya asked that a fisheries-related order be revoked with some conditions. This will be reconsidered on Tuesday.
