126 local government employees suspended on corruption charges

Ministry of Municipal and Rural Affairs said on Tuesday it had suspended 126 neighborhood government workers at districts over the kingdom on corruption allegations.

"They are accused of inclusion in various cases including money related and administrative defilement, maltreatment of influence just as other lawful and criminal infringement," the Ministry of Municipal and Rural Affairs said on Twitter.

A year ago, King Salman requested the foundation of particular offices in people in general examiner's office so as to quicken the examination and arraignment of defilement cases. General society examiner said then that the battle would work its way through lower-level offenses. Reuters
