As with Bin Chhin, the Constitutional Council headed by the very CPP EK Sam Ol will be subordinated to Hun Sen.

Congratulation to the Excellency
Ek Sam Ol for being elected to the
new Khmer Constitutional Council.

I am optimistic that council Ek
Sam Ol will make all khmers very
proud of him as council Bin Chhin
was.

May God help you to accomplish
your duty very well for all
Khmer citizens and Cambodia.

I will be more proud than you if EK Sam Ol can make this high body
really independant.

Dude, there is no such thing on
this planet as judicial
independence when leading judge
are appointed by the Excutive or
Legislative body. There are always
biases.

Now if you want an independent,
judicial system, the leading judge
should be elected by the public,
but the Excecutive or Legislative
wont goes for that because then
most of the lobbyists will go to
the judge instead, and that will
certainly to make the Excutive
or Legislative become a poor slobs.
Get it?
