General Touch Naroth , the Phnom Penh police commissioner, warned his police officers that they will be removed from their position in punishment for accepting bribes from people who needs to obtain their identification cards, or address books. During a meeting of police officers, Touch Naroth said that any police officers who are continuing to demand bribes from people who come to apply for their identification cards or address books, will be removed from their position and will be punished with jail time just like (what the law did to) the underground society. Touch Naroth’s reaction came after it was learnt that a small group of police officers are demanding from people between $10 to $150 before providing them with identification cards or address books. As he is issuing his order to local police officers telling them to stop demanding bribes from people, Touch Naroth also advised his local police officers to push the population to apply for their identification cards starting from 26 September, so they can vote during the upcoming 2008 general election.
