- Dr. Warong Dechgitvigrom urged the Education Minister to set up a probe into M50 over vocational procurement specs.
- The issue involves robot equipment procurement for vocational schools utilizing a 6 D mouse control set.
- A businessman claiming to invent the 6 D mouse sought an in-person meeting at Thai Pakdee Party headquarters.
On September 21, 2026, Dr. Warong Dechgitvigrom, party-list MP and leader of the Thai Pakdee Party, published a Facebook post calling on the Minister of Education, specifically mentioning Yoschanan and Prasert, to urgently establish a fact-finding committee to investigate the operations of "M50" regarding vocational equipment procurement.
This controversy stems from Dr. Warong's previous budget debate and press conference concerning the procurement of robotics equipment for teaching by the Office of the Vocational Education Commission. He alleged that specifications were rigged through a 6 D mouse control set managed by M50, yet the Ministry of Education has failed to appoint a committee to investigate and clarify the matter to the public.

Dr. Warong further revealed in his post that on Sunday, September 20, 2026, around early afternoon, a businessman visited the Thai Pakdee Party headquarters claiming to be the inventor of the disputed 6 D mouse technology, requesting a meeting with Dr. Warong.
"That businessman did not want to talk over the phone and wanted to meet me in person regarding the matters I debated."

At the time, Dr. Warong was away on business in another province, so the businessman met with party staff instead. Although the staff offered a phone call with Dr. Warong, the individual declined and insisted on an in-person discussion regarding the parliamentary debate.
Vocational education procurement controversies involving specialized technical hardware highlight ongoing transparency challenges in public sector budgeting. When a politician discloses procurement irregularities and an interested party attempts private engagement, it intensifies public scrutiny over government oversight and accountability mechanisms in Thailand.
