Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha said Monday that graft busters and others operating under duress to keep public office holders in line deserve protection from authorities.
“Members of the NACC [National AntiCorruption Commission] and other independent organisations risk danger as they have to work under pressure,” the general said.
“We must take care of them. They sometimes get threats and their families also suffer. People who do good deeds often face perils. Bad people often resort to illegal means,” he said during an awards ceremony at the head office of the NACC in Nonthaburi.
However, the situation was improving under his administration, he said.
