The Democrat party has joined hands with the Anti-Corruption Organization of Thailand (ACT) to push anti-graft laws.
Party leader Abhisit Vejjajiva, together with the executives of the Future Innovative Thailand Institute, whose chairman and director are from the party, met the ACT members today at the Thai Chamber of Commerce, according to a Thai Rath Online report.
The meeting reviewed the status of the anti-corruption proposals of both groups such as a law amendment to scrap the statute of limitations on corruption cases and improvement of anti-corruption work process, said Mr Abhisit.
"The ACT will likely propose a draft with a clear time frame soon, which may be while the NCPO [National Council for Peace and Order] is in power to increase the chance of its passage," he said.
Pilot projects could also begin at the same time. They involve a disclosure standard on procurement and participation enhancement.
These rules and laws, together with the existing 2-3 drafts aimed at clamping down on corruption, should bolster confidence among foreigners, the former prime minister said.
