key principle, it can be concluded that no matter how the public sector
will evolve, one must take into consideration the good governance
principles under the Royal Decree on Good Governance Guideline and
Practices B.E. 2546 (2003) which stipulates that the administration shall
achieve the goals by ensuring public well-being, efficacy of the state’s
missions, efficiency and economy of the state’s missions, and elimination
of too lengthy procedures. The tasks of the government sector must be
improved so that they are done in timely manner and people’s needs are
served and satisfied. In addition, performance of the government sector
must be evaluated on regular basis.
At present, since there have been numerous changes, including
economic, political, social, technological and cultural aspects as well as
relevant laws, hence public sector management strategies should be
revamped to conform to changing situations. Under present
circumstances, a key point that must be stressed is transparency of public
sector management that can be examined and demonstrated in tangible
manners. The oversight of public sector management requires public
participation in various steps, starting from policy formulation and
implementation to post-audit and monitoring after a policy has been
implemented. If people are involved from the beginning, the public
sector’s conducts will genuinely satisfy public needs and operations will
be performed transparently without any irregularities. As a result, our
nation will further progress with concerted efforts of the public sector
and civil sector.
