Local Chonburi administrators were told to ensure their budgets are spent fairly and disbursed openly and transparently as the province works to rid government of corruption.
Meeting Feb. 25 with district officials, Gov. Khomsan Ekachai noted that the Ministry of Interior has continuously laid out measures to prevent corruption in government procurement, but there are still many complaints regarding the issue and some local administrative organizations have not yet taken the anti-graft initiative seriously.

Now that 2015 budgets have been allocated, local administrative organizations must provide fair, open, and transparent competition, which will promote good local governance in accordance with the policies of the National Council for Peace and Order and the Ministry of Interior, he said.
The governor added that Chonburi has informed all local administrative organizations that were allocated budgets to urgently carry out projects in accordance with the objectives of the government to promote the economy and complete all required processes by the end of March.
Furthermore, the governor invited the local administrators to attend the Thai Local Administration Day at the court in front of the King Rama V Monument, Chonburi City Hall, on March 18.
