Deputy Secretary Panadda Diskul, acting Permanent
Secretary for the Prime Minister’s Office.
The Justice Ministry is moving forward with plans to set up
provincial-level offices to provide justice at the grassroots level.
Chonburi Governor Khomsan Ekachai welcomed Deputy Secretary Panadda Diskul,
acting Permanent Secretary for the Prime Minister’s Office, to preside over the
June 17 meeting of the Chonburi Provincial Justice Office.
The Ministry of Justice unofficially established provincial justice offices many
years ago by assigning works to be under the responsibilities of departments,
such as to prison superintendents, chief prosecutors, probation office
directors, and directors of Juvenile Observation and Protection centers.
Chonburi Justice Tueanjai Chareonpong said the Ministry of Justice set up pilot
offices in twelve provinces, including Chiang Mai, Chachoengsao and Chonburi and
has the provincial justice supervise work to bring justice and reduce inequality
in communities.
After the ceremony to present the signboards for 49 district justice offices and
49 community justice offices, Panadda addressed civil servants and communities
leaders who participated in the meeting, telling them to live up to the code of
ethics for civil servants given by HRH Prince Damrong Rajanubhab, the father of
Thailand administration.
The founding of local justice offices is the cooperation between the ministries
of Interior and Justice, aiming to use justice, equality and transparency as the
keys to bring unity back to society, he said. (CPRD)
