The government is holding a debate on the new constitution today to raise public awareness on Sunday's national referendum, Prime Minister's Office Minister Thirapat Serirangsan said yesterday.
Published on August 17, 2007
The debate will be broadcast live on Channel 9, he said, adding that the government had coordinated with the People's Network for Elections in Thailand (P-Net) and had invited leaders from both sides.
Drafters Seri Suwanphanont, Nakarin Mektrirat and Paiboon Warahapaitoon will stand in support of the charter, while 1997 Constitution writer Kanin Boonsuwan, law lecturer Somchai Preechasilapakul and former senator Jon Ungpakorn will stand against it.
Thirapat said he believed this debate might help voters form judgements.
