Transparency ‘helps fight graft’ says gov
Town Hall is starting the “Open Bangkok” project to make the capital a liveable city for all, governor Chadchart Sittipunt said.
Speaking on the annual investment meeting “Thailand Focus 2022”, Mr Chadchart said he hoped to transform Bangkok in to a better place underneath the concept “Transparency, Responsibility, Participatory”.
The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) provides opened up more simply by uploading reports upon its work, such as the budget passed a week ago.
Every single unit was informed to put data online in a readable format to enable citizens to the progress from the BMA’s work.
“It will be the first time in our history that we have uploaded such budget information during a reading by the council and it is in a structure that people can use plus read easily, especially for the younger generation that wants to know how we all spend the money and they can analyse this without cost, inch he said.
“So, openness comes when we open up the data. It is also a method to fight corruption. inch
The Traffy Fondue program had forged cable connections within the BMA and between the BMA and the public in which individuals can report problems in their district straight to their administrative unit. “Anyone who reviews is anonymous. The particular BMA has assigned three people in each district in order to Traffy Fondue to resolve problems quickly, ” Mr Chadchart mentioned.
The particular BMA also made the Bangkok Mutual Public and Personal Sector Consultative Panel to allow it as well as the private sector to consult on numerous matters.
One problem was that the BMA could not gather land and property or home tax effectively. The particular BMA would have to look for collaboration with the private sector.
“Our task is not only to manage the city but also restore trust, confidence and hope within the democratic system, ” he added.
