Two officials in south China's Guangdong Province have been removed from office for corruption, the local disciplinary watchdog said on Friday.
Ouyang Zhihong, former head of Guangdong's Geological Bureau, and Mai Jingru, former associate inspector of the provincial Department of Land and Resource, have also been expelled from the Communist Party of China.
Both Ouyang and Mai accepted huge sums of money as bribes in return for seeking other people's interests, according to Guangdong's provincial commission for discipline inspection.
