rooster59 Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 New list of ‘corrupt officials’ THE NATION BANGKOK:-- A SEVENTH list of officials alleged to be corrupt will be issued soon After a meeting of the National Anti Corruption Committee chaired by Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha yesterday, Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam said officials facing disciplinary action were in general not as senior as people named on previous lists. The prime minister enforced the all-powerful Section 44 of the interim charter to issue lists of officials alleged to be corrupt to pave way for investigations and possible disciplinary and legal action. With six orders issued so far, some 237 officials having been suspended or removed from their posts ahead of investigations and possible punishment. The latest list includes Bangkok Governor MR Sukhumbhand Paribatra. Wissanu said investigations had been completed in 62 of the 237 cases. Eight out of the 62, ranging from local officials to high ranking ones including director generals, had been fired and 25 were discharged. The rest received less severe penalties including salary cuts, probation and warnings. Eight cases had been handed to the National Anti-Corruption Commission for criminal action. At yesterday's meeting the coup-installed Anti-Corruption Operation Centre was ordered to coordinate with all ministries in following up corruption allegations in their compounds and expediting cases. Ministries must report back to the centre within 30 days once cases have been sent to them for action. The centre will then cross-check the inquiry results to ensure fair treatment for all concerned before taking further action, such as criminal investigation and charges being laid, Prayong Priyajit, secretary-general of the Public Sector Anti-Corruption Commission, said.

arthurboy Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 No mention of names, no mention of actual 'crimes', no mention of the money stolen, no mention of collusion with businesses or other authority figures, no mention of prison sentences and no mention of assets seizures. Conclusion: No point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinneil Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 If the government are serious about ending corruption let them publish names. Names and punishment, not just this stupid nonsense of moved to inactive posts. Start at the TOP that is where the biggest corruption takes place. Not just lower level officials just to make it look good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anythingleft? Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Surely it's at least a step in the right direction things will not change overnight it will be lengthy process but it has to start somehow and somewhere Give them the credit they deserve for starting and addressing the issue, the more highlighted it becomes then maybe more fresh faces will be inclined to join and stand for positions that were previously locked out of by the corruption where they too could now make a difference for the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The stuttering parrot Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Fancy even believing or supporting this lot after what they have done to anyone who voices any opposition to the high and mighty road map. So over time it's now oh well they're not such a bad lot after all and we believe everything they say about alleged corrupt people. i wonder how many military names are on there from top to bottom?

cumgranosalum Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Giving out lists of people you don't like.....sounds familiar... " Blaming foreigners Jews and corrupt officials for betraying his country, he vowed that strong action must be taken to put the fatherland on the right course..... ....the denial of citizenship to Jews and foreigners...the removal of unfit and corrupt officials and death to all traitors and usurers. “the state must assume the responsibility of organisingthoroughly the entire cultural system of the people, teaching children the importance of the state and improving national health. Newspapers transgressing against the common welfare shall be suppressed” action must be taken against those tendencies in art and literature that have a disruptive influence upon the life of our folk” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezzra Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Wouldn't be a lot easier to have a list of the incorrupt officials? surly that list would be a lot shorter to comprehend and deal with..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireMedic Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Until the names, charges, and punishments are publicly made, this is all handjobby. At this point, nobody cares about what they "allegedly" did, let us know how long they are going to jail, family assets seized, and banned from government work.

Caveat Emptor Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 I think this is now the fourth list of officials and just what happened about the first ones, a few sideways moves and that was that. Is there some form of psychological warfare going on so officials know they're on a list but to what end if no action is taken and being moved to the sin bin for a while doesn't count as proper action for me ?

No UK government official ever asked me for a bribe. When you visit Australia, did the immigration officer ask you for a bribe as they did to me in Phuket?
