Five officials from the Department of Local Administration (DLA) have been put under disciplinary investigation in connection with the recent local government recruitment exam fraud, Prime Minister and Interior Minister Anutin Charnvirakul said on Thursday.
Welcoming the completion of a ministry investigation a week after it was ordered, Mr Anutin said the investigation committee, led by the ministry's deputy permanent secretary, Santitorn Yimlamai, had confirmed attempts to falsify and cheat in the recruitment examination.
