The National Legislative Assembly’s constitution and organic law study committee allows legislators who would like to take part in the law-scrutiny committee to sign themselves up, NLA whip member Wallop Tangkananurak explained yesterday. Names would be submitted to NLA vice president Surachai Liengboonlertchai for the law study committee to endorse, Wallop said. “In the case of Pol Gen Patcharawat, he has signed up to sit on the panel following the process,” the legislator said. Controversy arose last week after Patcharawat appeared in the list of legislators considering the organic law governing NACC. The president of the controversial vetting committee, Pol Gen Chatchawal Suksomjit, said yesterday the committee had already convened once on Monday and the criticism involving Patcharawat had not been raised in the meeting.
