Chaturon: Dictatorship is no better than democratic regime in tackling graft problem

 

2601004Chaturon.jpg

 

BANGKOK: -- Thailand’s plunge in 2016 corruption perception index (CPI) ranking from 76th to 101st is a clear indication that military dictatorship is not any better than a democratically-elected administration in dealing with the scourge of corruption, said Mr Chaturon Chaisaeng, a core member of the Pheu Thai party.

 

He wrote on his Facebook Fanpage saying that the military regime had announced all along that it was serious with corruption problem and that corruption was one of the reasons for the coup. “But then why the result is contrary to what they said all along,” he added.

 

Chaturon went on saying that the junta had never attached importance to the issue of free expressions and had never recognized that free expressions and corruption suppression are co-related.

 

He pointed out that those who wanted to monitor several government projects were barred from doing so and were also intimidated.
