Attorney General Kowit Unveils Four-Point Justice Reform Plan
Attorney General Kowit Sri-piroj unveiled a four‑point policy plan for fiscal years 20270‑2071, aiming to speed up case handling, boost transparency, strengthen state legal enforcement, and foster a public‑service culture. He stressed that prosecutions will be based solely on evidence, with no political interference, and that the initiatives build on the work of his predecessors. The announcement was made at the Attorney General’s headquarters on October 9, 2026, after his royal appointment as the 21st Attorney General.
Attorney General Kowit Sri-piroj announced the administration's work policies for fiscal years 20270-2071 under the theme 'Attorney General of the Nation and the People,' consisting of four items: 1. Continuing existing missions: expedite criminal and civil case processing to be swift and fair, elevate proactive mediation and dispute resolution systems of the Office of Rights Protection and Legal Aid, develop training curricula for staff, and move toward paperless workflow nationwide. 2. Adding new missions: strengthen state interest enforcement in civil and administrative litigation, boost prosecutors' effectiveness in technology-related crime law enforcement, revise laws and subordinate regulations to improve justice administration, and ensure case rulings are correct, swift, fair, and of consistent quality. 3. Building public trust: enhance transparency, reduce inequality, enable quick, cost‑free public access to justice by upgrading central databases, preparing for a digital-era Attorney General Office (Smart OAG), launching an online case‑tracking application (OAG Tracking), and promoting domestic and international inter‑agency cooperation. 4. Fostering organizational culture: cultivate employee attachment and well‑being, instill values of honesty and social responsibility based on the shared 'PUBLIC' principles — People First, Uprightness, Betterment, Lawfulness, Integrity, Collaboration. He emphasized that these four pillars drive the Office of the Attorney General to deliver effective justice, make the justice system easily accessible, timely, and beneficial to the public, while strengthening confidence in the judiciary and shaping an organizational culture of 'Attorney General of the Nation and the People.' He also noted that he will continue the legacy of former Attorneys General, citing the policies of former Attorney General Naree Tanthaset regarding upskilling and reskilling prosecutors for specialized case work, and former Attorney General Itthiphon Kaeothip on accelerating case decisions and calling additional witnesses to clarify evidence, adding that previously only witness statements from officials were heard.
