Constitution Drafting Committee (CDC) chairman Borwornsak Uwanno yesterday ordered officials to check if there were any hidden microphones or recording devices in the meeting room after he asked reporters waiting outside how they knew every detail of what was discussed in the room.
The reporters responded by saying they had no idea what Borwornsak was talking about.
The exchange took place before Borwornsak chaired the ninth CDC meeting to discuss the draft charter article by article for the ninth day. He only agreed to start the meeting when it was confirmed that there were no hidden recording devices in the room.
CDC member Kamnoon Sidhisamarn said the panel’s decision to adjust the number of constituency and party-list MPs, as well as cut the number of electoral zones from six to one would not affect the main objective of the charter draft, which aims to ensure that every vote is meaningful.
He said that after the draft charter is adjusted, the National Reform Council, the Cabinet and other sectors would be invited to listen to the CDC talk about the charter draft amendment. “If they listen to the CDC, they will definitely accept the draft charter,’’ Kamnoon said.
Kamnoon also voiced opposition to calls for a secret vote on whether the NRC should accept the charter draft, saying all votes should be transparent.
