All urged to join anti-corruption walk
Play
All Thais are invited to join a walk against corruption today, which will be led by the Stock Exchange of Thailand and 28 private organisations which recently formed the Coalition Against Corruption.
A source from the coalition said that at least 5,000 participants are expected at Lumpini Park, at 6.30am, mostly being employees of the participating organisations.
"We indeed expect at least 10,000, to show our power against the corruption," she said.
The general public is being urged to join.
The private sector is convinced that the political instability that has swamped Thailand in the past five years stems from widespread corruption.
The Office of Securities and Exchange Commission is a strong ally of this coalition. The officials and staff wear the anti-corruption T-shirt on Fridays.
