City Hall considers app use to fight corruption

Bangkok governor Chadchart Sittipunt is taking into consideration expanding the use of the particular Traffy Fondue software to take complaints about corruption following its success in dealing with public service complaints.

The application is currently used as a platform for Bangkok citizens to publish complaints about public utilities and services and to alert all 50 Bangkok Metropolitan Management (BMA) district workplaces about issues.

Mr Chadchart said as of now greater than 90, 000 problems have been made through Traffy Fondue and much more than 40, 1000 of them have been resolved. The use of the application shows how the community can be mobilised to drive problem-solving in society, this individual said.

“I don’t have to issue instructions at all. These people [BMA offices] just have to check the reported issues on the software and go fix the problems, ” this individual said.

Due to the success associated with Traffy Fondue, this individual said the BMA will further broaden its use in reporting on corruption. Mister Chadchart said that all of the data, especially the informer’s details, would remain classified.

“As properly, all other information about BMA’s policies and tasks will be published for the City Hall’s website as part of the “Open Data” campaign pledge designed for increased transparency, ” he said.

Mr Chadchart added that the BMA currently has no intend to give cash honours to people who document offences such as illegal parking via the program because several reports are duplicates.

On the concern of the use of privately-owned lands to develop because public spaces, Mr Chadchart said the committee will be founded to draw up the criterion so as to assure optimal benefits for that public.

“City Hall must weigh up the pros and cons when the personal sector offers property for use as community or green areas, as City Corridor does not get to make use of such land at no cost, ” he mentioned.
