A total of 157 malfeasance cases concerning state officials will go to court, the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) says.
They were drawn from more than 3,600 complaints filed at regime-run notification centres for state officials' misconduct.
NCPO deputy spokeswoman Col Sirichan Ngathong said the centres have received complaints about state authorities' malfeasance over the past eight months.
She said people can file complaints directly at the centres, located in military camps, write to PO Box 444, or call the hotline on 1299.
Col Sirichan said complaints are forwarded to screening panels, which then send petitions to various state agencies to examine. The screened complaints are delivered to the Internal Security Operations Command (Isoc).
Army commander Gen Chalermchai Sitthisad also instructed task forces to support the work of provincial officials attached to the Public Sector Anti-Corruption Commission (PACC), which is examining the complaints, Col Sirichan said.
The task forces will help check complaints related to security issues, such as influential figures, illicit drugs, war weapons and gambling dens, she said.
A total of 3,664 complaints were lodged with the notification centres between July 14, last year, and March 12, she said. Of them, 594 complaints in relation to the officials's misconduct were forwarded to the Centre for National Anti-Corruption (CNAC) for examination.
Of these, 157 cases have been checked and entered the justice system, Col Sirichan said.
The misconduct includes being careless regarding the discharge of wastewater into public waterways, giving preferential treatment to particular bidders on road construction projects, reporting false information concerning financial assistance to farmers, procuring relief supplies for flood victims which did not match earlier agreements, and demanding benefits from wood-processing manufacturers.
Others concern malfeasance in the procurement of fire trucks, officials abusing their position by embezzling money as well as collusion in bidding for road construction projects, she said.
Col Sirichan said 1,758 cases involve people's hardships and they would be forwarded to the Office of the Permanent Secretary under the Prime Minister's Office so the government can address the problems.
She said 442 complaints concerned security and the fight against illicit drugs, and their agencies had been asked to look into cases. The probe into 79 cases had been completed.
Another 856 complaints still lack enough information and work is under way to contact the complainants, she said.
