Popular Post Commerce Posted March 4, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted March 4, 2015 "He also ordered the Committee on Public Budget Expenditures to inspect budgets and financial processes and operations in all public organisations to ensure confidence, quick processes, and transparency", the deputy spokesman said. Transparency and clean orders start at home, Sire. Where's your transparency, and those of your cabinet, explaining your riches gained from nothing? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Suffinator Posted March 4, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted March 4, 2015 He has ordered all sectors to give importance to corruption prevention and eradication, noting that the issue must be raised as a national agenda. It's one step forward but this won't either prevent nor eradicate corruption. For that to happen you need to have full transparency and that needs to start at the very top of the tree and work down. It's unlikely that Prayut would allow an open, transparent and independent assessment of his and his families assets. For him to ask others he must be willing to do the same so ... come on Prayut put your money where your mouth is or it's likely people will assume that Ali Baba is merely asking his forty thieves to go straight whilst he continues to plunder. Action needs to back up the words otherwise it's just noise and we all know how Thais like to make noise. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOUTHERNSTAR Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Did he ask them to get rid of the relatives working for them? Can't see that..........but I'm waiting to hear........ Costas this must be a typing error or are you starting to see the truth. That is that no person that have had political power in this country have ever used that power for the good of the WHOLE country and ALL of its people. When either side is in control they just look after themselves and their power base(s), but never have this country had a leader that could balance the interest of both sides. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timewilltell Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 While his NLA members are employing children wives and no doubt mia nois all at public expense which the many involved are all saying is quite okay by their standards. With the seal of approval from the General who said it was not wrong or words to that effect, we can see that Thais really just don't know right from wrong. they all think they are entitled and do as they please with the harshest punishment a move to an inactive post. The place is a joke. Don;t blabber on about fighting corruption until you create a policy of NO CORRUPTION and harsh penalties for breaking the law and an effective and rapid process of prosecution and imprisonment - doubly so for civil servants and politicians. Then publicize it with a bounty payable for people shopping these traitors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
