Abstract
Integrity failures play a key role in the growing problems of Bangkok’s wastewater and the inability of the Thai government to solve them. Three larger systemic barriers to change are very relevant to Bangkok: (i) corruption in public financial management, (ii) corruption at the interface between institutions and individuals and (iii) wider integrity failures. The sector’s path is challenging and the frequently-changing political leadership, the fragmented governance and new laws often create situations conducive to integrity failures.
