NACC Trang Office holds seminar on monitoring use of power and neutrality of officials
The Office of the National Anti-Corruption Commission of Trang Province (NACC Trang Office) held a seminar on monitoring the exercise of state power and political neutrality of government officials.
On Friday, January 23, 2026, the NACC Trang Office, led by Director Mr. Bandit Khanasuwan, along with the corruption prevention unit, held a seminar on the topic of "Monitoring the Exercise of State Power by the Administrative Branch and the Political Neutrality of Government Officials" at the meeting room of Huai Yot School, Huai Yot District, Trang Province, with a large number of participants, including village heads, community leaders, and administrative officials from Huai Yot, Ratsada, Sikao, and Wang Wiset districts.
Speakers included Mr. Bandit himself, Mr. Anan Boonsamran, Deputy Governor of Trang Province, and Mr. Suwichan Prachachat, Deputy Director of the Election Commission Trang Office.
The Deputy Governor of Trang Province emphasised that government officials, especially those in the administrative branch, must maintain strict neutrality during elections. Any violation of the law or inappropriate conduct will result in serious consequences. Those involved will face disciplinary action, prosecution, and possibly dismissal from their positions, as this is considered a serious offense that affects the dignity of the civil service system and public trust, he said.
The Deputy Director of the Election Commission of Trang Province reflected on the limitations in operations, including personnel, investigation processes, and the problem of collusion between those giving and receiving votes in vote buying, making prosecution difficult. Furthermore, he said the legal process must go through the consideration of the Election Commission and the relevant courts until the case is finalized.
Mr. Bandit, as the Director of the NACC Trang Office, emphasised the importance of integrity and the impartiality of government officials in performing their duties. He urged village heads, sub-district chiefs, and administrative officials to perform their duties according to the law honestly and not be involved in or support any form of corruption, in order to create transparency and fairness in the election process.
This seminar is another important mechanism in raising awareness and strengthening leaders at the local level to jointly prevent and solve the problem of election corruption.
