Official Addresses Allegations of Delay in Local Government Exam Corruption Probe
Worasit Suantavee has denied claims that the investigation into local government examination irregularities is being stalled, confirming that data for over 300,000 candidates is being processed.
According to a report by Matichon Online on August 12, 2026, Worasit Suantavee has publicly addressed concerns regarding the investigation into alleged corruption within local government examinations. Worasit firmly denied accusations that the probe is being intentionally delayed, emphasizing that the process is moving forward as required.
He confirmed that the relevant data concerning more than 300,000 examination candidates is currently in the process of being submitted to the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC). Worasit stated that he has no intention of protecting any individuals involved in potential wrongdoing, asserting that the investigation will proceed without interference.
For residents and expatriates, this development is significant as it concerns the integrity of the local civil service recruitment process, which impacts the efficiency and transparency of municipal administration across Thailand. While the official has pledged transparency, the investigation remains ongoing. It is yet to be confirmed what specific findings the NACC will uncover once they have fully reviewed the submitted data or whether any disciplinary actions will be taken against specific officials. Observers are waiting for further updates from the NACC regarding the timeline and the scope of their inquiry.
