Prayut lambastes at those trying to siphon from govt
Play
In his weekly address, Prime Minister Prayut Chan-ocha said Friday night that despite his government's moves against corruption, there were still efforts by unnamed people to make personal gains dishonestly.
"I fail to understand the ones who are still looking to perpetrate misconduct. These are groups claiming to have relations with the NCPO, the government, and prominent figures," he said.
Prayut called on society to help foster the sense that corruption is a despicable thing in order to ward off such groups.
He said new projects could not be initiated in a timely manner because of these people’s claims of involvement, as they draw anti-graft suspicion even before they can be implemented. So, development is slowed down.
