Firms offering bribes 'also targeted'

AS the principal anti-graft agency, the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) has realised the necessity of keeping pace with this worsening problem. On July 10, the agency tightened its grip on corruption with promulgation of a third amendment of its anti-corruption law, which would inflict the harshest penalties not just on government officials, but all kinds of "state officials", foreign officials and even staff of foreign organisations found guilty of serious corruption. NACC secretary-general Sansern Poljiak talked to The Sunday Nation's Piyaporn Wongruang about what else needs to be done to effectively tackle corruption, which has long been dubbed the country's "cancer".
