Corruption before and after the NCPO
When the military junta in Thailand, also known as the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO), seized power on 22 May, 2014, one of the main reasons it gave for doing so was to address the high levels of corruption plaguing the country under then-Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra. Now, with an election hopefully on the horizon, the question on every Thai’s mind is whether the junta been able to rid or reduce corruption in the country.
