The majority of Thais is not convinced that the government's vow against corruption would help stem the chronic problem, according to a poll.
The Abac Poll, conducted in 17 provinces covering 2,442 respondents, found that 73.5 per cent believed that the Yingluck government's vow would not help.
Asked if parliament can help in closing the gap, 65.8 per cent said "No". Over half, 51.2 per cent, also believed that independent agencies have no ability to do so either. Also over half, 57.1 per cent, was convinced that influential figures could not lend a help.
