Khon Kaen: Provincial authorities launched a probe yesterday into more than 2,000 health volunteers and villagers suspected of complicity in graft at a provincial welfare centre. Mr Somsak said the probe would be conducted in compliance with a primary investigation by the Public Sector Anti-Corruption Commission (PACC). Five other state officials at the centre were also implicated in the scandal. Ms Somsak said Ms Phuangphayom has been temporarily transferred to an inactive post so as not to hinder the probe. Ms Panida has lodged a complaint against state officials for forcing her to falsify documents.
