2019 International Anti-Corruption Day activities

 

   

BANGKOK (NNT) - Thailand held the International Anti-Corruption Day event, encouraging all Thai people to fight against corruption as volunteers in the cause.

 

The opening ceremony of the event this year featured special remarks by Privy Councillor Gen Paiboon Khumchaya, in which he said he has been working with Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha, who is serious about the suppression of corruption.

 

He pointed out that there are still many corruption cases before the courts in Thailand, requiring all citizens to help solve the issue which often stems from power and greed, in some cases involving career advancement or the safety of lives and property, leading to delays in corruption investigations.

 

He said it isn’t easy to eliminate corruption in society, but eventually all cases will end up in the justice system which must provide justice and fairness to all. He also praised the Anti-Corruption Organization of Thailand (ACT) for its continued efforts against corruption.

 

The Privy Councillor said it is now time for a leader to find ways to solve corruption issues, and for the ACT to lead volunteers and related sectors to eliminate corruption.

 

ACT Chairman Wichian Pongsathorn said on this occasion that the International Anti-Corruption Day event is aimed at promoting public participation in fighting corruption and protecting national benefits in ways they are capable of, which will create a social movement against all kinds of corruption and leave no place for corrupt persons in society. The organization will also be strengthening its anti-corruption network, and extending its cooperation with the general public, government organizations, and private companies.

Now I really cannot believe the full utter <deleted> I just read. Well I guess I have to as they were elected and he was nominated fair and square. But if the discussion did come up, how would you arrest a person and people under immunity?

What was effectively being celebrated was Thailand being No. 99 (out of 180) on the Transparency International’s Corruption Perception Index (CPI). That ranking has changed little since 2014.

But there is serious work going on behind the scenes by the leader to stamp out corruption. Here he is in his ZERO Corruption T shirt.

Good grief

I did not realise that Thai International Comedy Festival was holding a "fringe event" entitled 2019 International Anti-Corruption Day activities

 

 

Is there a sealed box to name the corrupt officers and public servants to the Corruption Commission, so they can get their cut?

My spell corrector is broke.

Can anybody help me to spell hyppocracy, hipocracy, hisprocacy, <deleted>opcracy?

Does this qualify for the "paid snitch program" (recent topic)?

If so, I suggest the payola should be a percentage of the ilgotten gains.

Even a finder's fee of the usual 10% would represent BIG money in some cases (and maybe a visit from a Stryker).
