He added that the government had made it a priority to rid corruption in state agencies.

 

Phase 3 of the strategy for prevention and supression of the corruption (2017-2021)is focused on an integrated approach in fighting corruption, He said.

Look in the mirror !

[baboon]

Man who stages a coup, appoints his mates and family to his government and rigs an election, wants to stamp out corruption and patronage.

Kudos to him for at least keeping a straight face, I suppose.

[DannyCarlton]

He could ask his mate "Ouan". expert on the subject.

Start by looking in the mirror, then left and right at your deputies and their enormous riches earned through..........!

And then have them cast an eye over your siblings, your cabinet, and basically every Government agency building, and don't forget the NACC too.

Oh and... actually forget it ????

I’d like to report a little fat man for stealing a load of million-baht watches. 

[ChipButty]

Start at the airport and bye the way whats happening to the guy who has an apartment in London 6.5 million pounds that went quiet

[kotsak]

Do as I say, not as I do..

 

[ParkerN]

If he is really so keen on cleaning up corruption, why would he not want to explain his wealth? And that ot Prawit.

 

Seems like that would be a good start and would improve his somewhat deficient credibility. Even Thais are starting to see through this guys, and you know you're in trouble when you can't even fool a Thai.

 

[observer90210]

They have well publicized hotlines to sneak against farangs overstaying....so about time similar energy to be used with hotlines where one can report corrupt attitudes from the Thai Police and Immigration against foreigners. And have the cases followed up.

[CNXexpat]

The super rich Generals with their not so high salaries are fighting against corruption. Well....

[Creasy]

Another head shaking thread

If they had any heart in the matter, it should be easy, they only need to clean up the 1% who control 66% of the countries wealth. But then again, who bites the hand that feeds? Grubs!

hypocrite, all his life he has benefitted from that system and been a major benefactor

[colinneil]

He urged the public to come forward with information on corruption.????

The man has clearly lost the plot, corruption he even managed to keep a straight face when saying it.

You must be thinking of another politician who lost her the plot:

Palang Pracharat MP Pareena Kraikupt’s 109 hectares of Sor Por Kor land

[Orton Rd]

what a laugh, he has a minister who served time for heroin dealing and a corrupt fat little liar with too much time on his hands and all the others with their noses in the trough around him, and he wants people to help fight corruption. ????

To which the knowing responded with uncontrollable laughter.   Stop the beer monopoly they cried as they picked themselves off the floor.

[Oziex1]

Will we be asked to be on the lookout for corruption when flying in on Thai airways.  Like they mention human trafficking.

Coz we all looking out for them now aren't we. 

[klauskunkel]

Prayut's stand-up comedy act:

The Peerless Corruption Fighter and his trusty sidekicks Fatty Watchman, Convict Heroin Dealer, Mafia Don of Chonburi and Chickenfarm Lady!

A must see, sure to bring down the house...

 

[soalbundy]

I like Prayut, he is funny without being obscene.

[Emdog]

I have one thing I'd ask the PM if I had the chance: "Have you lost weight?"

[30la]

Corruption is part of the system and even you won't be able to eradicate it!
It is not reassuring to have a dreamer PM!

I think we all know who has dented the country's development for a long time, the past four and a half years at least.....

[madmitch]

Anyone know the fake news hotline number?

[BigC]

Being surrounded by so many expensive watches  he should  never be late for a meeting

 

In all fairness i understand what is being  attempted  but all this  does is push a 500 baht bribe into  a 5000 baht bribe  as tier risk goes up with this measure

 

Let sleeping dogs sleep

 

Also stop making too many laws

 

The more laws means more opportunity  for corruption

 

I know some peoples ( thais and forang) that have been hit hard by new laws and it is not helping fight  corruption
