Charter amendments completed

Amendments to the constitution approved by a referendum in August last year have been completed, Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam said on Wednesday.

Mr Wissanu said the handwritten copy of the constitution, in the form of an accordion-style scroll by the Bureau of Royal Scribes and Royal Decorations of the Secretariat of the Cabinet, was also scheduled to be completed today.

The prime minister would forward it to the Office of His Majesty's Principal Private Secretary by the Feb 18 deadline, without requiring an audience with His Majesty.

The Office of His Majesty's Principal Private Secretary would disclose the content of the amendments to the public, said Mr Wissanu.

The prime minister earlier said the constitution that was approved by the August referendum needed to be amended to make way for changes to the provisions on the monarchy, as advised by His Majesty the King.
