Transparency International, in their ''Corruption Perceptions Index 2014'', ranked Thailand 85th of 175 nations. The index examines public sector corruption.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.transparency.org/country#THA )〕 "Even though Thailand has the legal framework and a range of institutions to effectively counter corruption, all levels of Thai society continue to suffer from endemic corruption." Despite the government's efforts to combat corruption in the country, former prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra's government was implicated in a rice-pledging scheme for corruption. Ms. Yingluck may face criminal charges over the scheme's failures.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-27325898 )〕 However, the independence of the organization which has implicated her has been questioned by international media. So ubiquitous is corruption in Thailand that in 2015 the Thai group, Anti-Corruption Organization of Thailand (ACT), created a "Museum of Thai Corruption" at the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre. According to Mr Mana Nimitmongkol of ACT, "Thailand is a country with a culture of patronage... many generations have seen corruption and got used to it,...We wanted to create the museum in order to tell the cheaters that the things they have done are evil—they will be recorded in the history of Thailand, and Thai people will never forget, nor forgive them." == Dynamics == The intersection of business and government has resulted in a widespread use of bribes in most sectors across the country. Bribery and conflict of interests are common within Thailand's private and public sectors. Money politics in Thailand, the "flow of money within the political scene", stems from the high number of interconnects between the business and political sectors. Despite anti-corruption laws, the government bureaucracy is ineffective in enforcing them.〔 In a survey conducted by the University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce among businessmen who deal with bureaucrats who determine contract awards, 25 percent plus is the average for under-the-table fees paid in order to secure a contract from government agencies. The survey showed that 78 percent of the businessmen polled admitted that they had to pay "fees", which they said appeared to have been increasing in recent years. Some businessmen claimed that the rate charged by the greedier gatekeepers for contracts run as high as 40 percent. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Corruption in Thailand」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
