NRSA wants all officials to declare assets

Khanittha Theppajorn

 

BANGKOK: THE National Reform Steering Assembly (NRSA) yesterday unanimously approved its anti-graft reform committee’s proposals that require all governmental boards and officials involved in state procurement to declare their assets and debts.

 

Endorsed by 168 votes, the proposals say that the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) and the Civil Service Commission should amend relevant laws on financial disclosures.

Not a bad idea?

[z42]

Haha these lot in charge at the moment are to truth, honesty, and transparency are whatwhat grit is to snow. There is more chance of plaiting sand than getting honest and accurate asset declarations from this mob. Got to hand it to this person for the brazenness though really

[PatOngo]

Now would the declaration of assets include those of the drivers, maids, relatives and gardeners in the employ of said officials?

What what's that?  Not again,,,,,   the last time the PM's brother attempted to declare his assets it all went very very wrong ,  Never fear big brother is here to the rescue yet again and in doing so revealed to the world their true nature,  but try getting their fan club to accept the truth.

[NongKhaiKid]

ALL officials, surely not.

Isn't there an automatic built in safeguard for some that puts them above this sort of thing ?

[mtls2005]

So I assume this includes:

 

all officers in the military, and RTP

all members of the NLA and familiy members in their employ

all members of the NCPO and familiy members in their employ

all members of the NRSA and familiy members in their employ

 

Did I miss a "river"?

 

NACC, AMLO?

Judiciary?

[Caveat Emptor]

Another great publicity headline now file and forget.

Actually it's only "all governmental boards and officials involved in state procurement"

• NRSA wants all officials to declare assets
• Bt209m in assets seized as major drug suspect arrested

 

Interesting juxtaposition of "Latest News"  ThaiVisa headlines. Purely coincidental, of course.

It's not just a question of declaring assets - they can be hidden. It's spending. Check the spending. A figure should be set (maybe 100k) for any public servant (and their spouse, kids) to spend before they have to make a declaration about their purchase and then show exactly where the money came from. I'm sure there are holes in this theory, but it's one possibility. 

[worgeordie]

Should be done every year,also with their tax payments,

I am sure there would be some very interesting results,

and some very imaginative accounting to try and hide

assets.

After all the bombings, the Government went out of their way to advise the public to  avoid panic.

Now, they do this to their own colleagues!  Assets will be changing hands like lightning if this ever comes into force.

Okay,.... and off they are for rugging their assets under the carpet

[Khon Kaen Dave]

It will never happen.This assembly will be disassembled and reassembled toute suite A couple of them will either vanish or mysteriously commit suicide.Or it will just vanish like mist in the morning sun.After a few visits to people from the other people,this will just go away.

All piss and wind,the assembly must be short of a few quid and this is their way of scaring up some dosh.

[soalbundy]

What, including the sacks under the bed?

[gandalf12]

And to explain how they acquired their assets on a monthly salary if Baht 50, 000.
