Teachers at a school in Saudi Arabia got a shock when they found that their dead colleague was one of the teaching staff who benefited from a government pay rise.
 
Mohammed Al Nashri, who was a school teacher in the capital Riyadh, applied for a pay rise a few years ago but died in September 2014.
 
“I was really surprised to notice that Al Nashri is one of those who got the pay rise although he died on September 21 after a traffic accident,” his colleague Musaed Tayar said, quoted by the Saudi Arabic language daily ‘Ajel’.
 
“I am really upset…he had waited for years to get his promotion and only got it in grave…may God the Almighty have mercy on him.”
