It seems the scope of the inquiry is going beyond accountability of the Jeddah floods and into general corruption, something the Jeddah municipality is rather infamous for.

The stagnant pools of fetid water allow the mosquitoes that transmit dengue fever to humans to breed, thus in the aftermath of the floods there is a high risk of dengue fever.

Most of them are related to projects, zoning and building permits. Though I'm surprised they picked up the financial manager of the Dengue fever eradication project. I'm sure there are many questionable matters in that particular project, but I'm not sure what it has to do with the floods.
