Customs eyes S44 to enable sale of seized logs
The Customs Department looks set to propose that Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha use Section 44 of the interim constitution to remove obstacles preventing the sale of seized phayung logs (Siamese rosewood) and other illegally cut trees worth over 4 billion baht.
Department director-general Somchai Sujjapongse said on Friday the use of Section 44 would enable the department to sell off 318,000 stockpiled seized logs.
