First, the defunct People's Democratic Reform Committee made a demand for national reform before elections. Now, the draft constitution that will be decided at the referendum tomorrow promises national reform as part of its key elements. Since the military staged the coup, national reform has also been part of the key agenda of the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO). A section on national reform in the draft constitution features broad and vague statements that cannot help us picture what the country will look like after reform takes place. The current draft charter goes further as it implies the need for "good people" to keep an administration in check.
