Constitutional drafters want the National Anti-Corruption Commission to set up shop inside each government ministry to keep an eye out for crooked politicians and senior government officials.
The proposal was made by a Constitution Drafting Committee panel responsible for revamping the 1999 Organic Law on Counter-Corruption.
Paiboon Nititawan, who chairs the subcommittee, said his team had yet to review the proposed law on a section-by-section basis, but has drafted four essential points to be included in the bill.
They suggest that the NACC's main duty under the new constitution should be to investigate unscrupulous conduct by politicians and high-ranking civil servants, while other graft agencies would handle cases of public office holders with lower positions.
NACC personnel would be posted at every ministry to examine irregularities and submit reports to the agency. The agency would also be given authority to act as a "damaged party" when it petitions the Administrative Court to suspend a government agency's measure or project to protect the public interest.
Mr Paiboon said the last proposal would require authorities who are not political office holders to submit documents concerning their assets and liabilities at their agencies, instead of giving them to the NACC. This would reduce the NACC's paperwork burden.
"I believe the changes will allow more effective input in tackling corruption and protecting the country's interests," Mr Paiboon said.
