Srinakharinwirot U handled exams in recruitment fraud probe: DLA

14 Sept 00:09 Key points summarised by AI

The Department of Local Administration (DLA) clarified that Srinakharinwirot University was hired to manage the entire recruitment examination process for local administration officials, including question preparation, conducting exams, and scoring.
This explanation follows allegations of massive corruption and an anti-graft investigation into examination fraud, which resulted in the abrupt transfer of the DLA director-general.
The DLA emphasized that a seven-agency anti-corruption network monitored every stage of the examination, and answer sheets are securely stored under joint access and 24-hour CCTV surveillance.
The department pledges full cooperation with ongoing investigations, asserting that anyone found involved in examination fraud will face civil, criminal, and administrative penalties.
