MPs fail decide on auditor-general bill

The lawmakers Wednesday failed to draw a conclusion on the draft organic law for state audit agency even after a consultation between House Speaker Chai Chidchob and Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva.
"May be the House would know what to do after a full debate on the matter," Chai said.
In between the legislative deliberation, Chai took time off to consult MPs and the Cabinet members on how to proceed with the stalled draft bill. Although the bill was passed last year, it could not be enacted due to the senatorial passage falling short of a simple majority.
The House has been left to decide either to re-vote and back the bill or veto it. The issue becomes critical because of the row over the position of the auditor general.
