On July 9, 2569, Asaphol Sarntriprob, a Bhumjaithai MP and chair of the House Anti-Corruption Committee, disclosed findings from a three-hour meeting with Srinakharinwirot University officials, the Educational and Psychological Testing Center, and NACC representatives regarding fraud in local government recruitment exams.
Key findings include: All evidence—including answer sheets from over 400,000 test takers and flash drives from a secure facility in Samut Prakan—has been transferred to the NACC. Officials confirmed the documents and digital files are unaltered. The university delegated full authority for the exam project to the testing center, including bid submission, e-bidding, and contract signing, removing the rector from involvement. The testing center hired a private company for 30 million baht to print answer sheets, conduct grading, and provide scanning equipment across 10 national testing centers, and properly notified the Department of Local Administration. Allegations emerged that the exam contractor—the Department of Local Administration—interfered in results consideration, with details already provided to the NACC. The university's fact-finding committee pledged to complete its investigation by July 10. Concerns were also raised about backup files not included in the original contract scope.
