Anti-corruption reform panel completes public hearing process
The anti-corruption reform committee held its last public hearing on Tuesday before further developing the reform plan for submission to the government in December.
The committee is among the 13 panels appointed under the national reform law, which requires them to come up with plans to pave the way for major reform of the country.
Panthep Klanarongran, who chairs the anti-corruption reform committee, said most participants in the final public hearing had agreed on wider public participation in suppressing and preventing corruption.
New networks should be encouraged to help state officials fulfil corruption prevention and suppression work, they said.
Participants also called for more transparency and access to information concerning corruption cases or assets scrutiny.
Moreover, they agreed that concerned agencies should integrate their work, while more accountable work procedures were developed and put in place to reduce the current emphasis on the judgment of individual officials, Panthep added.
