BANGKOK: — (NNT) – Hong Kong’s Public Affairs Asia Magazine has bestowed the Gold Standard Award in Government Transparency for 2009 to the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) of Thailand.
Speaking about the award, National Anti-Corruption Commissioner Prof Pakdee Pothisiri stated that the NACC was selected to receive the award for its outstanding performance in terms of transparency promotion in the international level. He added that the award was a proof that the NACC seriously dealt with corruption.
Prof Pakdee continued to say that the award would also provide a very good opportunity to enhance the positive image of the country after its transparency was found to decline last year. Thailand ranked 84th in the Corruption Perceptions Index report released by the Transparency International.
In addition, the commissioner noted the award also suited the policy of the NACC this year designated as the year of transparency. He said the NACC would use the award to encourage moral and transparency as well as suppress corruption activities for an ethical and moral-based society.
Other two shortlisted candidates for the award are Ogilvy Public Affairs in Beijing of China for the “Tales of Hope”–China’s National Population and Family Planning Commission’s Communication Strategy and the Corruption Eradication Commission of Indonesia.
