THE ROYAL Thai Army has today started accepting complaints of irregularities involving state officials.

Centres have been opened at Army camps across the country to accept complaints, following an order by Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, in his capacity as head of the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO).
Members of the public can lodge complaints at any of the centres against allegedly corrupt public officials anywhere in the country, Army spokesman Colonel Winthai Suwaree said yesterday. 
Complaints can be submitted to the NCPO and the Army via PO Box 444 of Rajdamnoen Post Office, Bangkok 10200, and hotline 1299. 
The complaints will be received by the NCPO’s Secretariat, which will categorise the complaints before they are forwarded to the Prime Minister’s Office for further action.
Complaints with convincing information and evidence will receive urgent consideration for possible action against the accused state officials, he added.
The project is overseen by Army chief General Chalermchai Sittisart, who is also the NCPO secretary-general.
