NLA president Pornpetch Wichitcholchai labelled as rushed the 60-day time frame prescribed in the 2014 interim charter to deliberate on the organic laws. It is crucial that the NLA members put extra effort into the process to meet the deadline for deliberating on the laws, he said. As part of yesterday’s seminar, NLA vice president Surachai Liengboonlertchai prepped legislators on the procedures for the legislation of the organic laws. The NLA vice president also explained that passing the organic laws was a different process to passing other legislation. If that did not happen, the NLA would have accepted the recommendation and the organic law should be amended accordingly.
