Deputy PM: Local Exam Fraud Probe Finds ITRIS Data Conflicts
A fact-finding committee probing fraud in Thailand's 2568 local government recruitment exams has identified serious data conflicts in the ITRIS system, with Deputy PM Phakorn Nilpraphan calling the discrepancies unacceptable conduct disqual
Deputy Prime Minister Phakorn Nilpraphan announced at Government House on 14 July 2569 that a fact-finding committee investigating fraud allegations in the 2568 local government civil service recruitment examinations has uncovered serious concerns, particularly regarding the ITRIS system. The committee's primary focus is to identify systemic flaws and assign responsibility at each step of the process, rather than target specific individuals; disciplinary action and criminal prosecution will be handled by relevant agencies and the National Anti-Corruption Commission. Phakorn stated that the conflicting ITRIS data represents unacceptable conduct and moral failings, emphasizing that those involved should never be allowed to enter public service, as they intentionally committed fraud from the outset. He added that detailed findings will be reported to the Prime Minister every 10 days and will not be disclosed to the media to prevent information leaks, while praising cooperation from the Interior Ministry, private companies, and universities in resolving the matter.
