Former MP Questions Silence on Local Exam Fraud Case
Former Phatthalung MP questions why authorities haven't used witness protection to expose higher-level officials in a local exam fraud case involving altered scores.
Former Phatthalung MP Nipith Inthasombat posted on his personal Facebook account addressing the issue of local government exam fraud. In his post, he stated: "If I were your politician, I would bring those who took the local exam and are accused of cheating by altering scores to the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC). I would negotiate with the NACC that if they grant him witness protection, he would testify truthfully about who he gave money to, so the NACC can pursue charges against higher-level perpetrators such as politicians. It is now time for the Thai state to decide whether to target 'small fish' or 'big fish' corruption. This is the only way to effectively combat corruption and pursue cases against intermediaries who received money and those at higher levels. I am not your politician—so what have your politicians done to combat corruption in this country? Or are your politicians themselves corrupt, taking money to buy votes during elections?"
