Participants attend a seminar organised by the Anti-Corruption Organisation of Thailand aimed at encouraging all sectors to participate more in efforts to stamp out graft. Mr Pramon hoped that anti-corruption will continue to be a national priority with all sides working together to support anti-graft efforts. Mr Pramon said the Supreme Court's Criminal Division for Holders of Political Positions ruling on those involved in the fake government-to-government (G-to-G) rice scheme showed the law was being upheld. Democrat Party leader Abhisit Vejjajiva also commented on the new constitution's mechanisms to create good governance and root out graft. He said there has been little progress in tackling graft and no guarantee the new mechanisms will function properly.
