Popular Post webfact Posted December 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 17, 2020 Govt corruption highest under NCPO junta, says report by graft watchdog By The Nation Prayut Chan-o-cha Government corruption hit a new high under the post-coup National Council for Peace (NCPO) junta, according to a report released by the National Anti-Corruption Commission on Thursday. Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, who led the NCPO junta after staging the 2014 coup, acknowledged the report’s findings but said the figures drew mostly on complaints of corruption rather than proven cases. He said that people would always try to cheat the system but said he did not want to reveal the names of the culprits. Instead, he ordered the Prime Minister’s Office to publicise the achievements of his government to show how “well it had served the people”. Asked whether each ministry would now be inspected for corruption, he said monitoring for government graft was the media’s job. He added that government officials preferred working behind closed doors because they were afraid of being attacked by the media if they were too transparent.

Our man to a tee "We want the media to monitor for corruption, but we won't let them in to monitor for corruption."

To bad this country can not do like Malaysia and the corrupt bribe taking brown envelope takers rounded up and arrested. Or maybe like Saudi Arabia did a few years ago just imprison the lot in a hi-so hotel for well, life. Something needs to change, all these scheming tards need to be tossed out. 18 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The coffers will be bare and the Thai people left hanging onto nothing. They will all become true Buddhists as they will have given up all worldly possessions, of which the takers will have full bellies, full bank accounts, and private jets to fly off in. Time for the people to take this account as the final que and toss these adam henry's out on their ears and jail the lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCPO Orders automatically waived all procurement and anti- corruption laws. So no surprise the consequences. The only surprise now is that there's an independent graft watchdog.?.

And IF the media reported on government graft, wouldn't your officials immediately slap them with defamation lawsuits left and right -- as they have done on countless occasions in the past? It IS indeed a government's duty to stamp out and prosecute corruption within its departments. The media can report on graft but they cannot hold the culprits liable, can they? The biggest problem you seem to have, Mr. Prayuth, is that corruption has infested virtually each and every government department. And do you honestly believe they are going to rat each other out? They won't. They DEPEND on each other. They PROFIT from one another. Go back to your poems and songs, Mr. Prayuth. I feel sorry for you. 6 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
