Transparency please

In a study by the Private Sector Collective Action Coalition Against Corruption (CAC), 48% of 828 directors and business leaders observed a two-year decline in the severity of corruption problems in Thailand [LOL]. Some 44% were confident graft could be wiped out in the future [Even bigger LOL]. Business leaders and directors urge more investigations into corrupt politicians and civil servants — [but what about probing corrupt business leaders and directors?] — and they are actively aware of their important role in anti-corruption efforts.

This is glorious stuff but which planet are we on? Who exactly are these angels of commercial and industrial righteousness, and where were they when we needed them most? Let’s have some names attached to their statements and assertions. Identities are essential here to give credence to the statistics. Transparency is key in the eradication of corruption and anonymity is of no help to anyone.
