Therefore, we are happy to have a constitutional assembly of the people. But whether the mechanism obtained is 100% or not, differences must be taken into account. and consider the few people as well There will be another meeting tomorrow (25 Dec.) and a summary will be presented to the Cabinet for consideration and decision again.

However, it was seen that the hearing of opinions was still not united. There are still many opinions.

There may be 23 people, 100 people, or there may be other parts. This is a matter for the directors to inspect and consider appointing. By presenting information to the government, we will present both sides, both the opinion that we want it to be and the opinion that is in conflict. and the committee will have a proposal consisting of

Therefore, if it is necessary to go through 3 times and waste a budget of 3-4 billion baht, it is necessary to pay. They will not let money conditions be a constraint. But if done well and costs less It will be the best thing.
