RIYADH: Nazaha (National Anti-Corruption Commission) is investigating the case of a Transport Ministry official in Najran for granting SR14 million compensation to his relatives.
It said the official is suspected being involved in a number of administrative and financial irregularities as well as abuse of power in a land expropriation case.
According to Nazaha spokesman Abdulrahman Al-Ajlan, the underhand dealings resulted in illegal compensation of over SR2 million. His relatives also received compensation of over SR12 million in the construction of King Abdullah Road and Prince Meshael bin Saud Road in Najran.
Al-Ajlan said Nazaha has referred his case to the Bureau of Investigation and Prosecution.
A committee comprising several government departments was formed to investigate irregularities in the inventory of the property of a citizen along the King Abdullah Road in Najran.

KSrelief initiates treatment in Jordan for cancer-stricken Gaza girl
- Roza Al-Dreimli was transferred to Jordan through the initiative of KSrelief, amid the Gaza war that has destroyed hospitals
- She is currently under assessment and observation at the King Hussein Cancer Center, ahead of treatment
AMMAN: A cancer-stricken Palestinian girl from Gaza is now undergoing clinical observation prior to treatment at a specialist hospital in Jordan, thanks to the Saudi aid agency KSrelief.
Roza Al-Dreimli was transported to Amman from the Gaza Strip through the initiative of the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) as part of Saudi Arabia’s continued commitment to providing life-saving aid and medical care to Palestinians suffering from critical health conditions, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported on Friday.
The report said that Roza’s case was prioritized due to the complexity of her condition, as assessments indicated a need for advanced treatment of cancerous cells at the base of the brain. She is now at the King Hussein Cancer Center (KHCC).
"Under the supervision of a medical team specialized in pediatric brain tumors, she is currently undergoing intensive clinical monitoring and precise periodic examinations to assess the tumor’s response to treatment, ensure control of the condition, and prevent any potential neurological or visual complications resulting from the tumor’s location," SPA said.
The family expressed profound gratitude for KSrelief’s swift intervention, noting that the specialized care provided at KHCC has renewed their hope for their daughter’s recovery.
Such specialized care is currently unavailable in the Gaza Strip because of the destruction of hospitals during 26 months of bombardment by the Israeli military.
Israel systematically destroyed homes and commercial buildings and infrastructure in the Palestinian enclave in retaliation to the Oct. 7, 2023, raid by Hamas of Israeli border villages, during which the militant group killed more than 1,200 people and took 254 hostages.
