Prime minister Hun Sen agreed to the restart of the sand dredging operation in a number of study areas found not to affect the collapse of riverbanks. On 06 December, Hun Sen ordered a temporary stop to all dredging operations, after a major riverbank collapse in the evening of 05 December. The authorization of the restart of the sand dredging in some areas came after the committee for sand management issued a report to Hun Sen on 14 December, showing that it has found a number of regions where the dredging operation can take place without affecting the riverbanks.

So even this little sand problem is brought up to Hun Sen? It seems like he runs the whole country. Isn't the governors doing their jobs? It seems like Hun Sen gets involved even with the little problem. At the others not knowing how to do their jobs?
