Thailand scores poorly in corruption rankingPrime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul speaks to reporters before chairing a meeting of his Bhumjaithai Party's MPs-elected on Thursday. Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul reacted by calling the ranking "a failing grade". He said on Thursday that the score was relatively low, indicating high levels of corruption and weak transparency in the country. He added that he had asked the Public Sector Anti-Corruption Commission (PACC) to clarify the factors behind the low score. Mr Anutin said corruption extends beyond bribery and includes inefficiencies in approval and licensing systems that undermine investor confidence.
