Deputy Prime Minister Pakorn declared that delays amount to injustice and urged the Civil Service Commission to expedite pending disciplinary cases, requiring their completion within a 60-day limit.
28 Aug 2026 GMT+7 Pakorn Nilprapunt, Deputy Prime Minister, spoke before a National Security Council meeting at Government House regarding the timeframe for disciplinary proceedings managed by the Civil Service Commission (CSC). He addressed the disciplinary review timeframe, noting that he discovered many unresolved cases within the CSC that have yet to be completed, which obstructs civil servants' work. For example, those subjected to disciplinary penalties remain uncertain about the next steps, prompting him to examine the establishment of a time limit. Once reports are submitted, they must be reviewed and resolved within 60 days. This approach resembles setting a case processing deadline, because delays equate to injustice.
The Deputy Prime Minister also emphasized that this time standard applies to all disciplinary offenses, not focusing on any particular case but covering all general disciplinary actions.
