The current Charter says the NRC, NLA, Cabinet and the junta have the right to 'propose' people to sit in the CDC in accordance with their quota. That means they can propose anybody, not specifically only their members, to be the constitution drafters.
Rather than thinking of people participation and inclusive reform, the NRC decided to propose only 'its people' to draft the constitution, rejecting an idea to invite representatives of major political parties or other groups to join the task.
Drafting and approving the new constitution is the only key task the NRC has been commissioned to do. If it does not allow so-called people participation to join the drafting charter, there is no other chance for people outside its jurisdiction to participate in this reform.
For sure, the NLA, the Cabinet and the junta would do the same - or at best they might pick some 'like-minded' outsiders to sit on the CDC.
It can be imagined that the new constitution will be nothing more than a charter for the winners which aims to limit, if not get rid of, the role of their enemies in politics or administration of the country.
