Worasit, Deputy Minister of the Interior, revealed that recruitment of local civil servants will proceed on schedule by 19 October. He noted that over 4,000 names have been revoked, with no reports of lawsuits filed in response, as evidence has been provided transparently to everyone.
At 09:30 on 22 September 2026 at the Government House, Worasit Liangprasert, Deputy Minister of the Interior, spoke about the progress of recruitment and revocation of local civil servants. He said those appointed in rounds 1 to 3 will complete transfers by 9 October. Afterwards, new candidates will be called to fill revoked positions, and new lists from localities nationwide will be used. Reporting for duty is scheduled for 19 October, following the calendar. Although some document timing may slightly overlap, it is not expected to be delayed further, aiming to restore fairness to candidates in rounds 1 to 3 who were previously bypassed, as well as round 4 candidates currently being recruited. From then on, the roster will proceed through the system.
When asked about future preventive measures to ensure transparency, Worasit said multiple agencies are investigating and progress is ongoing, including asset freezes. In the future, Pakorn Nilprapunt, Deputy Prime Minister and chairman of the fact-finding and legal committee on the 2025 local civil service exam corruption case, is working on measures such as blacklisting offenders or dismissal from service. Regarding future exams, the law is nearing completion and has been returned from the Senate to the House of Representatives. Examination criteria will be revised for greater credibility and standards, referencing the Civil Service Commission, to prevent similar incidents in the future.
When asked if there have been any reports of lawsuits filed, Worasit said none have been received so far. For the over 4,000 revoked candidates, no lawsuits have been reported because the process included not just name notifications but also attached evidence and information for each individual whose scores showed irregularities.
