The regional Administrative Investigation Department has opened investigations into financial irregularities at the General Directorate of Health in Taif, sources have said. The sources told Okaz that the body is currently examining a list of what are thought to be over 30 fake employee names on the Taif Health Directorate staff register as a means of fraudulently obtaining travel allowance for employees who were not assigned to work during this year's Haj season. The sources said that some members of staff at the Directorate are believed to have forged the names of nurses and technicians working in remote villages in order to claim travel allowance.
