Prime Minister Prayut says that the government will create a blacklist of corrupt businessmen who do business with the government. Those on the list will no longer receive assignments. This was announced yesterday at a meeting of the National Anti-Corruption Committee.

Prayut also wants the commission to speed up corruption cases that have damaged the country, such as allegations of corruption by officials in charge of housing construction.

Thailand would like to score better on the international ranking of corrupt countries. In this index, the country ranks 76th of the 168 most corrupt countries in the world (2015).

The prime minister has ordered an investigation into 44 officials suspected of corruption on the basis of Article 353 of the interim constitution. Of them, 98 have already been punished and fired.

    Thought Thailand was bigger. But seems to be a small country if they only have 353 civil servants. Well, in 2 years they'll be done with that list of corrupt businessmen. they can start looking for new business contacts outside Thailand who are not corrupt. Of course it won't work either.
