The military-based complaint centres were set up at Army bases nationwide on the orders of Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha last Thursday. Hotline phone numbers and postal addresses were also made available to receive public complaints. Matters may be screened for accountability purposes before being forward to anti-graft agencies including the Public Sector Anti-Corruption Commission (PACC) and its underling, the National Anti-Corruption Administrative Centre. Secretary-generals of these two agencies would take part in screening information received from people so as to lubricate the anti-graft system from the very start, the spokesperson said. The Army’s complaint centres would play mostly supporting roles to those agencies, he added.
