The organic law was passed by the National Legislative Assembly (NLA) earlier this month. The Pheu Thai Party lodged a petition with Prayut last week urging that the controversial law be reconsidered and submitted to the Constitutional Court for review. Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam, however, said yesterday that the government had no concerns with the organic law and would not petition the Constitutional Court. “It is not that the PM has to pass everything that everyone lodges with the Constitutional Court,” Wissanu said. Pheu Thai could have questions [about the organic law] but it does not mean the PM does, too.”The CDC, which was responsible for writing the organic law, would not petition the Constitutional Court on the matter either.
