TO DEFEND THE VOTING RIGHT OF OVER 3,000 CITIZENS
VICTIMS OF LAND GRABS AND EVICTIONS IN PHNOM PENH
Today, Sam Rainsy Party (SRP) representative Ly Sovichea lodged a complaint at the National Election Committee (NEC) against Kauk Roka commune chief Ung Savun who has continuously and illegally refused to register as voters over 3,000 citizens currently living in Kauk Roka commune (in Andaung village to be more precise).
The eligible voters (over 18-year-old) whom Ung Savun refuses to register are victims of land grabs and evictions. In June 2006, after the violent destruction of their homes, they were forcibly sent by the police from Tonle Bassac commune (in Chamcar Mon district in downtown Phnom Penh ) to Kauk Roka commune (in Dangkao district, on the outskirts of the capital city). They are now living in squalid conditions in Kauk Roka commune.
The complaint was formally received this afternoon by the NEC Legal Department.

Land prices in Cambodia has been increased due to the demande from corrupted leaders to washed their dirties monies. The victims of these corrupted leaders are victims from one degree into another degree.
-First corruption have made them poor. Low salary and extortion to keep their job to existance.
-After they have too much monies and wanted to hid their corruption, they want to buy lands to clean their monies, the poor will be victimised again for loosing tehir land by the powerfuls who took their land for nothing and resell with high prices.
These lands transactions and prices increased have impacted a lot of economic consequenses.
-All transactions have never paid a cent in tax.
-All sell and purchases have never paid a cent in tax
-All service in selling and buying have never paid a cent in tax.
-All increases in price will be the biggest enemy for manufacturing companies and businesses to set up their factories and bases in Cambodia for economic developments.
-They will increase suffering to all Cambodian people.
Cambodia opposition party must introduce a law like in China. All lands belong to the state. Everyone has a right to own land occuppied by all citizens for 70 years. Each family must pay a small among according to their location and their size of occuppied lands. This law will help to combat many negatives impact to Cambodia socio-economic development.
-Everyone has land to live and to work.
-No land grabbing anymore.
-No more corruption monies into lands.
-Affordable land for economic development.
-Cambodian will not be begger in neighbour countries .
-Give all Cambodian citizen a sense of ownership of their land.
-No longer land invasions into tribal lands of small ethnic people.
-Effective ways to combat corruption.
China has succeeded 100% in this land reform. Come on Cambodian. Do it or let your people to landless.
