Deputy Interior Minister Vows NACC Will Pursue All Exam Cheats

Deputy Interior Minister Worasit Liengprasert said the National Anti‑Corruption Commission will pursue everyone involved in the local civil service exam cheating scandal, regardless of rank, and insisted no one can avoid responsibility. He noted that charges against three suspects are delayed due to legal limits and the need to collect extensive evidence, but those released on bail will still face prosecution, with filing expected in November. Worasit added he is not concerned about opposition attempts to use the issue in a no‑confidence debate, as the NACC works independently and his ministry has already acted, including revoking fraudulent scores and summoning legitimate examinees to report on 19 October.
