Four major government agencies have agreed to jointly tackle the drug trade in prison with the Corrections Department being the coordinator, Justice Ministy spokesman Thirachai Wuthitham said Wednesday.

The four agencies are the Corrections Department, Department of Special Investigation (DSI), the Public Sector Anti-Corruption Commission (PACC), and Anti-Money Laundering Office (Amlo).

Mr Thirachai said a meeting of the four agencies had agreed the Corrections Department should coordinate the joint operation.

"the four agencies had agreed the Corrections Department should coordinate the joint operation."

LOL

The agency responsible for the situation is put in charge of coordinating the operation to tackle that same situation, which it allowed to develop and persist for many, many years...

Congratulations - finally public servants doing their jobs and not a politician in sight. As for all the nonsense (from Khun Chalerm) about changing the phone tapping laws - seems these guys already have sufficient powers already

He said in the past four months he had sacked 18 warders for involvement in the drug trade and seized more than 1,500 mobile phones in prisons.

Warders caught involve in drug trade the punishment is only sacked. In other countries warders caught involve in drug trade will become prisoner themselves. Oh!! This is Thailand!!! I just can’t stop laughing.
