(Reuters File Photo)The National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) has proposed a new set of indicators to assess the risk of policy-based corruption ahead of the Feb 8 general election. Examples included the rice-pledging scheme operated during the Yingluck Shinawatra administration, and a rubber sapling procurement project carried out under the administration of her brother, Thaksin Shinawatra. Political parties would be required to submit policy information through this framework, with the Election Commission later publishing the results to aid voters in their decision-making, Mr Surapong said. The NACC also urged the media and civil society to help raise awareness, stressing the need for transparent and lawful policy development. The NACC said it believes this collaboration with the EC would mark a significant step towards promoting cleaner politics and equipping voters with reliable information to underpin a more transparent election process.
