Hej
I dagens Prachatai och Bangkok Post tar man upp att Juntans NLA har lagt till en fråga inför folkomröstningen, nämligen om folket ställer sig bakom att Senaten (den senat på 250 personer som Militären själva ska utse och tillsätta) ska få vara med och rösta i landets Parlament tillsammans med dom folkvalda ledamöterna (MP) när landets PM tillsätts.

Referendum to include motion on giving appointed senate right to approve PM
Submitted by editor1 on Fri, 08/04/2016 - 09:54
The junta-appointed lawmakers has voted to include a motion on the right of senators to vote to approve PM.
On Thursday, 7 April 2016, 142 members of the National Legislative Assembly of 167 members who attended the meeting voted to have the motion included in the referendum, scheduled to be held in August. The motion asks voters whether they think the parliament, both MPs and senators, will jointly vote to approve a prime minister,
reported the National Assembly Radio Station and Television Broadcast Station.
The motion or the question is “In order to create continuity in national reform process, in accordance with national strategic plan, do you agree that, in the first five years, from the day that the first parliament take place according to this constitution, the parliament has the right to approve a person who should be appointed as Prime Minister?”
According to the latest draft constitution, the military will appoint a selection committee who will appoint 250 senators who will serve a five-year term.
The NLA has submitted the question to Election Commission of Thailand.
NLA’s commission said the question is necessary in concretizing national reform process, adding that there needs to be a mechanism to supervise the national reform and make sure that it will run consistently for the maximized benefit of the people.
If the question passes the referendum, it will be added in the provisional clause of the constitution.
