Following a public uproar after the STRONG Thailand Anti-Corruption Club social media page published screenshots of chat messages allegedly belonging to an agent facilitating corruption in local government civil service examinations—pointing specifically to a provincial council member (Sor.Jor.) in Satun Province—the government has stepped in to address the controversy.
On August 13, 2026, at 10:15 AM at Impact Muang Thong Thani, Mr. Worrawsit Liengprasert, Deputy Minister of the Interior, gave an interview to reporters regarding the allegations. He stated clearly that matters of this nature can be proven through investigation, and if wrongdoing is found, strict action must be taken.
"This matter can certainly be proven. If found, it must be dealt with."

The Deputy Interior Minister further noted that such illegal operations are not isolated incidents, pointing out that there are actually multiple networks scattered across the entire country, meaning authorities must proceed strictly based on the facts and evidence.
Corruption in local government recruitment exams undermines the fundamental principles of meritocracy and fairness for hardworking candidates. The quick response from a high-ranking Ministry of Interior official highlights the growing accountability driven by civic watchdog groups and social media exposure. Uncovering widespread nationwide networks, however, will require rigorous digital forensics and thorough financial investigations to dismantle these systemic cheating rings.
