Corruption report stains Prayuth’s clean hands
A graft watchdog says corruption is getting worse, not better, in military-ruled Thailand. The findings undercut a key pillar of the junta's claim to legitimacy
Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha vowed in an address last year marking anti-corruption day that Thailand would be graft-free in the next 20 years under a military master reform plan. A report released on January 25 by anti-corruption watchdog Transparency International showed his military regime has a long way to go, with his largely unaccountable authoritarian regime apparently accentuating rather than combating the problem.
TPI’s global ranking, which draws on perceptions of undisclosed business people and country experts on public sector corruption, showed that Thailand slipped from 76th in 2015 to 101st in its 2016 assessment. The report found that government repression, a lack of independent oversight and a deterioration of rights had diminished public faith in the country’s two-and-a-half year old military administration. The ranking put Thailand on a global par with notoriously graft-ridden nations Gabon, Niger, Peru, the Philippines, Timor Leste, Trinidad and Tobago.
The findings are a sharp blow to Prayuth’s military regime, installed in a 2014 takeover coup-makers justified in part on the need to stop alleged rampant corruption in Yingluck Shinawatra’s Peua Thai party-led elected government. His junta has made a strong public show of uprooting past corruption, most visibly in the ongoing trial of Yingluck for alleged malfeasance in her government’s populist rice price support scheme, which state auditors claim cost the country as much as US$15 billion in losses. Yingluck has maintained her innocence; prosecutors are seeking US$1 billion of her personal wealth.
