webfact Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 PM Prayut: Government agencies must work transparently File photo BANGKOK, 9th February 2018 (NNT) – The Prime Minister, Gen. Prayut Chan-o-cha, has urged government agencies to operate with transparency, in a move to raise people's confidence and positive perception of the state sector. Gen. Prayut presided over a ceremony to present awards to government agencies with excellent financial practices. In this event, a total of 22 agencies received 24 awards. The Prime Minister congratulated the winners and called on all government agencies to be prepared and and adapt to social changes. He said the agencies have to respect the law and move together with a proper checks-and-balances mechanism. Regarding the Thai Niyom (Thai-ism) campaign, the Prime Minister said the projects in this campaign should focus on providing training courses and capability enhancement to low-income earners, which would require teams of government officials to learn more about villagers in areas across the country. He said the projects would then drive forward local development, answering the needs of the local people. -- nnt 2018-02-09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prayut presided over a ceremony to present awards to government agencies with excellent financial practices. In this event, a total of 22 agencies received 24 awards. The PM gives himself yet another media opportunity and makes a big thing of 22 agencies receiving awards for excellent financial practices. Does that imply the other 100,000+ government agencies (excluding local government agencies) were not worthy of such an award? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtls2005 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I suspect that the word "transparent" has a different meaning in Thai? Or that "transparency" is measured on an escalating scale: more transparency for red-shirts, less for others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as usual here, it's always do as we say, following our rules, which of course don't apply to us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eligius Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Blah, blah, blah - lie after lie, nonsense after nonsense, intelligence-insult after intelligence-insult, idiocy after idiocy, Cretin of Cretins - on and on it goes. As the English would say: 'Give it a break, mate! No one believes a bloody word or even syllable you say' (except one or two on Thaivisa Forum!).

jenny2017 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 PM Prayut: Government agencies must work transparently without article 44, but: Article 44 can be a fast cure for critical problems that cannot be solved quickly. "For those who are innocent, whether Thai or foreigner, there is nothing to be afraid of," I've become native now. What should I do with it?

Khun Paul Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I assume he means the English definition of TRANSPARANCY which is almost certain to be unavailable in Thailand . Thai transparency is as opaque as frosted glass, difficult to understand and often impenetrable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
