Representatives from the CNS and from state agencies and committees appointed by the junta will also attend the event, which will be broadcast live on the Army-run Channel 5, according to a source familiar with the matter.

They include Sak Korsaengruang, spokesman for the Assets Examination Committee; Potjanee Thanavaranit, deputy speaker of the National Legislative Assembly (NLA); Klanarong Chantik from the National Counter Corruption Commission; Attorney General Pachara Yutithamdamrong, and caretaker police chief General Seri Temiyavej.

Potjanee is expected to speak about the NLA's investigations into alleged irregularities that took place under the previous government, such as projects involving Suvarna-bhumi Airport, and new high-profile laws being deliberated by the assembly, according to the source.

Sak and Klanarong are expected to report on the progress of their agencies' separate investigations into corruption cases.

The attorney-general will speak about the latest developments in cases brought before public prosecutors, while the national police chief will report on the progress of high-profile cases such as the one involving Kularb Kaew and alleged lese majeste.

CNS chairman General Sonthi Boonyaratglin will preside over the event, the source said.

Klanarong said yesterday that as the NCCC spokesman, he would speak about the commission's progress, while representatives from other agencies would report to the public about theirs. He said he would not discuss certain cases in detail for fear of affecting the investigations.

Klanarong said he was satisfied with the anti-graft agency's work in the six months since its members were appointed by the coup makers. He added that his commission had referred between 30 and 40 cases to the Attorney-General's Office.
