The Interior Ministry has abruptly transferred Department of Local Administration (DLA) Director-General Teeruth Supawiboonpol amid a sweeping corruption scandal tied to local recruitment examinations valued at more than 4.5 billion baht.
Interior permanent secretary, Unsit Samphantharat, on Tuesday signed a ministerial order issued by the Interior Ministry to assign Mr Teeruth to a temporary post at the ministry. The transfer order takes effect on Wednesday and will remain effective until further notice.
