Bangkok Post reported that on November 24th, Thai political activist Sri Lanka's National Anti Corruption Committee submitted a petition requesting authorities to investigate whether Thai Prime Minister Saita directly or indirectly intervened in the appointment of high-ranking police officers for personal, other people's, or political party interests. It is reported that during a meeting for members of the Thai Party, Saita made controversial remarks, stating that multiple members of the Thai Party had requested the appointment of a police chief.

Sri Suwan pointed out that Seta may have violated the constitutionArticles 185 and 186, as well as the ethical conduct of political figures. Article 185 of the Thai Constitution states that it prohibits members of both houses of parliament from abusing their power to interfere in the recruitment, appointment, restructuring, transfer, promotion, salary increase or dismissal of government officials; Article 186 indicates that these regulations apply to cabinet members. Sri Suwan stated that if the anti-corruption committee considers his petition to be justified, transfers the case to the Supreme Court and obtains court acceptance, Seta and the relevant legislators will be required to immediately suspend their positions. If convicted, they may be banned from politics for up to 10 years.

But Seta has publicly denied the allegations and emphasized that he has no authority and has not interfered with the transfer of the position of police chief. However, Thai opposition party members did not accept his statement and demanded that he resign as a sign of responsibility. Thai Democratic Party members and the Police Affairs Committee of the House of Lords also requested that he provide clarification at relevant meetings.
