Embarrassing, and they look so proud of themselves.

Good, pristine image restored! Don't mention drunk, flying (falling) Russians!

Any more transparent you could see what they ate for lunch

[jippytum]

What a load of rubbish and an injustice. This award for transparency should have gone to Thaksins doctors. 

[NedR69]

What exactly did he do...I read nothing but 'fluff', nothing specific about all those inflated descriptions - "demonstrated exceptional ethical standards and transparency in their operations".  

 

WHERE's the Beef?

 

What a croc of chit.

And all the roadworks and the flooding mitigation system.

I've yet to see any details of the contractor, the specification, length of time, cost, contact numbers listed anywhere near these ridiculous endless works. Usually all on display on billboards. Now, 2nd Rd up again, Thepprasit a total death trap, completely clogged up, 3rd Rd no better than a goat track in places. What a cheek awarding this guy anything except a sxxxk in the mouth.

[Emdog]

I've been here about 20 years, and this is the mega whopper, the leviathan of are-you-kidding-ville, off the charts you-can't-make-this-up absurdity award.

But all makes sense: look who gave this out:

"The ITA Awards, organized by the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC), were chaired by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Energy, Pirapan Salirathavibhaga."
