Former Prime Minister Anand Panyarachun cautioned the military junta not to get drunk to power but let outsiders to share the power through transparent management.

Speaking at a special discussion on “Improving Corporate Governance Key to Advancing Thailand” Mr Anand said it was now the good time for the military junta to close Thailand for renovation.

But the close must not be long as it could get drunk in power.

He said the management (National Council for Peace and Order) could handle things and was in control but the future is uncertain.

He advised that outsiders should be given a share in power and not just only their people.

He recalled that in the previous time certain group of people was given too much power with no check and balance, thus making them to get drunk in power , greedy, and putting all their people to sit in boards of directors of state enterprises where huge benefits and money were involved.

As restructuring is now underway, the image of state enterprises will be improved as more outsiders are placed to do the jobs, he said.

He said corruption in state agencies is most dangerous as it involves immense budget of the state.

If the head of the government is clean and does not not corrupt , corruption in government circle would be minimal. If the government could control only half of the ministers not to corrupt, the problem would then be controllable, he said.


However he noted of corruption at policy level, citing the allocation of budgets for PR campaign of ministries, and armed forces.

The media will get windfall of these budgets and could be tight lipped, he said.

He said the country has stayed out of tough enforcement of laws against corruption for the past several decades, thus deteriorating the problem.

It was the right time to join together now to tackle the problem seriously and change perception and attitude in admiring those genius but dwindled people and educate them of what is right and what us wrong, he said.

Too late mate. It's a done deal and your warnings and observations are tediously obvious.
