TV3 asked to reveal its stand on Sorayuth
The Anti Corruption Network yesterday released an open letter, asking TV Channel 3 to reveal its stand on alleged graft offences involving anchorman Sorayuth Suthassanachinda.
The letter, signed by ACN chairman Pramon Sutheewong and sent to station operator BEC World Plc, reminded the management of its obligations to transparency and the fight against corruption."The ACN is spearheading the awareness campaign to wipe out corruption complacency which condones graft violations for the sake of self-gain," the letter said.
BEC World, as a national business entity, it said, should play a leading role in rooting out corruption in order to boost confidence in the Thai business community.
The ACN outlined the case involving Sorayuth, which stemmed from a ruling by the National Anti-Corruption Commission. The ruling found cause to suspect fraudulent transactions between Sorayuth's news production house, Rai Som, and MCOT, a listed company in which the state holds a majority stake.
ACN and Isara Institute then organised a session to cite the case as a lesson in compliance on journalistic and business standards. This led to the National Press Council and News Broadcasting Council to call for accountability of those charged under the ruling. The ACN said it did not intend to condemn the accused but wanted to set a precedent on corruption-free business.
