Popular Post goloeilmanz Posted December 9, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 9, 2022 (edited) Despite these efforts, corruption remains a pervasive problem in Thailand, particularly in the bureaucracy. The World Bank's 2020 Control of Corruption Index ranks Thailand 95th out of 190 countries, indicating a moderate level of corruption. The 2019 Corruption Perceptions Index by Transparency International also ranked Thailand as the 101st least corrupt country out of 180 countries. One of the main causes of corruption in the bureaucracy is the lack of accountability and transparency in the procurement process. Public officials often award contracts to companies without competitive bidding, leading to inflated prices and the siphoning of funds to the officials' personal accounts. In addition, the sale of positions to the highest bidders also contributes to corruption in the bureaucracy, as public officials are more interested in enriching themselves than serving the public. Another factor that contributes to corruption in the bureaucracy is the lack of enforcement and punishment for corrupt officials. Despite the efforts of the NACC, many corruption cases go unpunished, as the legal system is often slow and inefficient. This lack of consequences for corrupt behavior only encourages public officials to continue engaging in corrupt practices. In conclusion, corruption in the bureaucracy is a pervasive problem in Thailand, and it primarily relates to procurement projects, the selling of positions to the highest bidders, and bribery and exploitation of legal loopholes. To address this problem, the government must focus on increasing accountability and transparency in the procurement process, strengthening the enforcement of anti-corruption laws, and implementing effective measures to punish corrupt officials.

So why have these areas of corruption not been mentioned re specific actions to stop the corruption? Yawn. 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post brommers Posted December 9, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 9, 2022 Lmfao. Another photocall leading to absolutely nothing. If he was serious he would need to establish a clean police force specially trained to hunt these criminals and then back them up with a special protection force to keep the police alive! Then he would need a whole special court of untainted staff with their own protection service. and finally he would need 20 years of non stop work to catch the existing criminals let alone the new ones who move in to fill the voids left by those arrested. Ain't gonna happen! 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess if 99 out of 100 people are corrupt it is considered a "moderate" level of corruption. It isn't considered a high level of corruption until it hits 100 out of 100. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Srikcir Posted December 9, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 9, 2022 The PM is the head of the government as the Executive Branch. So the failure to prevent, detect and punidh corruption in government is entirely his. Furthermore, is it not the highest form of political corruption to have been royally endorsed as PM from 2014-2018 representing the Head of State to deny now after the fact that he wasn't PM? The problem is that the "buck stops here" for being responsible to stop corruption in government doesn't exist. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
