The National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) bill recently endorsed by the National Legislative Assembly (NLA) allows all current NACC commissioners to remain in office, even if they are not qualified to do so under the new charter. Some current NACC commissioners have their qualifications prohibited under the charter. Somchai Sawangkan, the NLA’s whip secretary, said some NLA members have started gathering signatures to petition the Court. This is more than enough to petition the Court, as it requires at least 25 NLA members to sign up to support the petition, Somchai said. The current NACC members, he said, have only been in office for about a year.
