Deputy PM Wissanu delivers policy statement to PAEC

 

   

BANGKOK(NNT) - Government agencies usually perform internal audit activities and provide related reports to their supervisors, tasks that go all the way up to prime ministerial level.

 

To ensure internal audit effectiveness and efficiency, the Public Sector Audit Evaluation Committee (PAEC) has been established to assess and analyze the different functions of the public sector. Today, Deputy Prime Minister, Prof. Dr. Wissanu Krea-ngam, delivered his policy statement to the PAEC.

 

Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu presided over an event to deliver his policy statement to the PAEC. The committee has to place greater stress on evaluating internal audit functions, which have to continue even though disbursement of the 2020 fiscal budget is delayed by about four months.

 

A no-confidence debate against the government is to take place soon, and internal audit can be performed on individuals as well as agencies to evaluate and improve the governance process, and support adherence to the rule of law.

 

To be successful in running the country, the government must be transparent and impartial, take responsibility, respect the law, be impartial, promote public participation and assess its performance.

 

The PAEC has to work in line with the government’s 20-year national strategy. Even though the committee’s work is independent, its functions should cover major projects. If there are irregularities, the PAEC can report them to the government immediately. It does not have to wait until the end of the fiscal year.

 

The Deputy Prime Minister said the PAEC is working under the new administration for the 2020 fiscal year, with the national strategy already taking effect. Agencies that fail to follow the national strategy will be examined by the parliament, the court, or the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC).

Leadership that is open to the world and not just to cronies is what is needed.

To be honest, compliance with the 20-year national strategy plan written by a Prayut junta-appointed committee in circa 2016-2017 lies with the Junta-appointed Senate that includes active duty military officers and former NCPO members. As such it is unrealistic to say that the PAEC is independent. Its functions will cover no doubt whatever "outside" direction it perceives as a priority, no different than the "independent" EC and NACC.

Well most of that clearly hasn't been happening.

Here we have the most glaring, mind-blowing example not of Thai officialdom's mendacity - it is way, way beyond that - but of genuine psychopathological denial of all truth and reality.

The mismatch between the claims made by this 'person' here and the reality on the ground - minute by minute, second by second - is so stunning and so ludicrously Everestian in its proportions that one feels tempted to call in the men in the white coats ...
