Viet Nam anti-corruption czar stays / Thailand faring pooly on graft / Transparency Public Procurement Rating Report

Nguyen Phu Trong, Vietnam's anti-corruption czar, crowned party chief again. “Trong, 76, winning a rare third term as general secretary of the ruling Communist Party…combines decades at the pinnacles of power with the cultivated image of a frugal wordsmith…Famed for his “blazing furnace” crackdown on corruption, Trong’s Communist Party has also been criticised by human rights groups for a crackdown on dissent.”

Faring poorly for graft (Editorial).  “Although the [Corruption Perception Index] reflects only public perception, the ranking is no exaggeration where Thailand is concerned. The new coronavirus outbreak that was linked to migrant worker smuggling and gambling dens is proof of rampant corruption in state agencies.”
