BANGKOK (NNT) - The Office of Public Sector Anti-Corruption Commission (PACC) is working to address ongoing issues of corruption within the public sector.

 

Despite being established over 15 years ago, the organization faces numerous challenges, including inadequate manpower and infrastructural inefficiencies.

 

Deputy Prime Minister Somsak Thepsutin recently conducted an inspection of PACC’s operations and was briefed on its challenges. The agency currently employs 579 personnel nationwide and has requested an additional 200 staff members to improve its efficacy. The Deputy Prime Minister has pledged to consider the request for additional manpower.

 

The PACC is actively communicating with more than 30 business chambers to jointly combat corruption, especially in cases where officials have solicited bribes from entrepreneurs, hindering business activities. The organization has also established a complaint center specifically for foreign business owners, who are often targeted for illicit benefits when seeking various permits for doing business in Thailand.

 

According to Somsak, anti-corruption efforts remain a top priority for the government. He stressed the need for expediency and effective planning to ensure progress and societal impact. He also expressed support for any necessary legal amendments, noting that laws must evolve to serve the public interest.

 

In summary, while the PACC faces challenges like staffing and resource allocation, it continues to strive towards its goal of minimizing corruption in the public sector. Deputy Prime Minister Somsak has pledged support for necessary changes, including legal amendments to better serve public interest.
