Chief Ombudsman Panit Nitithanprapas announced that for the past 12 years, nearly 25,000 cases out of over 26,000 reported to the Office have already been completed. Mrs Panit said the complaints lodged with the Office have been directed against the Royal Thai Police the most, followed by the Department of Provincial Administration. Most of the corruption reports have been on unfair concession bidding processes.

bangon04 Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 The Office of the Ombudsman of Thailand will celebrate its 12th anniversary on April 3rd at the UN Headquarters in Bangkok. Not entirely clear about what there is to celebrate.... Apparently it is a cause for celebration that they have waded through 25000 cases in 12 years. Are there figures for how many cases resulted in anything other than 25000 new inactive posts? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thai at Heart Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 (edited) It takes real effort to stay at the top for so long, it appears that they have refined their talents to a world class level. They should be lauded by all organised crime syndicates as a beacon of success to be copied, studied and their attitude exported as a pinnacle of Thai achievement. In fact, maybe someone could patent them.... Edited March 29, 2012 by Thai at Heart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess if there was a push for higher police salaries, government provided and equiped vehicles, suitable pension funds etc.......then as with the minimum wage rise we would have the majority of members returning to the Tvisa wailing wall Edited March 29, 2012 by 473geo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slapout Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 The only reason the royal thai police force beat out the compitetion for this award is the shear number within the organization. The inactive group is close on their tail, with civil servants and elected officials fast coming up on the inside. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloudhopper Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 " Most of the corruption reports have been on unfair concession bidding processes." Or did they mean 'other' reports? Because that's basically what they all do in the end isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
