Amid public concern that the new charter will be less democratic than previous ones, Prawit has said the drafting process is ongoing and when it concludes the charter will be submitted to the NRC, the NCPO and the Cabinet for approval.
Prawit added that the NCPO welcomed all recommendations in regard to the new constitution.
Speaking at an infrastructure construction and transparency event at Central World in Bangkok, the premier highlighted the government’s close cooperation with the British government on the Construction Sector Transparency Initiative (CoST), which was launched by the latter in 2012.
It is hoped the move will ensure transparency and prevent corruption in all government projects in order to meet international standards.
Thailand’s engagement in CoST aims to create an air of confidence in relation to these projects by preventing corruption through the creation of a system to scrutinise government work, the premier said.
Prayut emphasised that since the beginning of his administration, all anti-corruption units – the Anti-Money Laundering Office, the Public Sector Anti-Corruption Commission and the Auditor General of Thailand – had been working in cooperation with five committees the government set up, plus international organisations and CoST in pushing for concrete anti-corruption results.
