Rice Fraud

AFP yarn in The Daily Telegraph tells that eight more Cambodian staff working for the UN's food agency have been sacked or resigned in the wake of a $US900,000 ($A1,153 million) rice fraud scandal, bringing the total to 15 employees.

Seven local staff working for the World Food Programme (WFP) were dismissed or stepped down early last year after the agency discovered discrepancies in its $92 million, three-year Food for Work programme.
