Gov't to unveil "stop corruption" ratification

Post by buksida »

The government will on Saturday unveil the ratification designed to stop corruption and backed by all agencies, PM's Office Minister Niwattumrong Boonsongpaisan said on Thursday.

"Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra will personally spearhead the antigraft campaign," he said.

Niwattumrong said all units of the government, including 144 departments and 76 provinces would take part in rooting out corruption.

Since last month, PM Yingluck has instructed for every department to map out antigraft work plans. The government has also opened a 1206 hotline inviting the public to alert the authorities about graft violations.

Based on tip offs from the hotline, abuse of power is most common among graft violations, followed by demanding kickbacks, irregularities in connection with flood compensation payments, rice pledging scheme and construction project bidding.

Methinks that you should have posted that one in 'The Best of The Rest of The World' section.

1206 hotline....
I once escaped a bogus speeding 'fine' from the Bangkok Police when my partner threatened to dial a Thai Police anti-corruption hotline so it might have some use.
