The NLA would deliberate on the provisions of the National Strategy Act on Thursday, Peerasak said. The law must be completed within 120 days of promulgation of the charter, he explained.

He said the NLA was not worried about heeding opinion, saying responsible agencies must have been aware of the requirement in the new charter and done it already.

However, the NLA vice president said the NLA might have to reduce the time to deliberate on the law in order to meet the deadline set by the charter.
