Constitution Court decides to review two decrees' constitutional status

The Constitution Court Monday decided to review constitutional status of two executive decrees.

Pimol Thampithakpong, spokesman of the Constitution Court, said the court decided to consider the status of a decree to allow the government to obtain Bt350 billion worth of loans for water resources management and another decree to allow the government to transfer debt of the Financial Institution Development Fund to the Bank of Thailand.

The complaints for the review of the status of the two decrees were filed by a group of senators and the opposition Democrat MPs.

Pimol said the court required Democrat MP Korn Chatikavanit and Senator Khamnoon Sitthisamarn, who represent the Democrat and senators who submitted the complaints, to submit their written opinions to the court within Friday.

Khamnoon said Korn, Khamnoon and Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra or their representatives are required to testify to the court on February 15 at 9 am.
