Nida Poll reveals public concern over local government exam corruption, impacting government confidence
The Nida Poll survey center at the National Institute of Development Administration (NIDA) has released the results of a public opinion survey regarding issues affecting the current stability of the government, finding that the issue of greatest concern to the public is corruption in local government civil service examinations.
According to the survey results, over 62 percent of the public believe that corruption in competitive examinations for local government positions has the greatest impact on the government's confidence and stability, with approximately 37.86 percent of respondents indicating that it is a highly concerning issue at this time.
In addition to the issue of local exam corruption, the survey also identified other topics of public interest, such as the investigation into the selection process for senators (Senators), where concerns have been raised regarding vote-rigging. This is considered another significant factor that could affect the government's image and credibility in the eyes of the public.
This survey reflects that the Thai public places great importance on transparency in government operations, particularly in the process of selecting personnel for the civil service, which is the foundation of providing public services at the local level.
In summary, the poll serves as a warning signal for relevant agencies to urgently investigate and address corruption issues seriously in order to restore public confidence and maintain the stability of the government's administration moving forward.
