The Funcinpec party rejected the information indicating that 4 Funcinpec ministers defected the party to join the CPP.
In a communiqué dated 07 January 2008, the Funcinpec spokesman said that the rumors of the defection of 4 high-ranking party officials to join another party, is baseless, and it was an exaggeration perpetrated to undermine the unity of the Funcinpec party leadership only.
The four high-ranking Funcinpec officials are:
In addition to the 4 officials above, at least 10 other Funcipec officials declared their defection from the party to join the CPP. Some of these defectors are:
However for the first 4 former ministers listed above, Funcinpec declared that they did not defect to the CPP. Nevertheless, the Funcinpec communiqué recognized that a number of Funcinpec officials defected the party, and the majority of them were “opportunists” who joined the party to look for positions and fortune by bribing Prince Ranariddh, whereas, a number of other Funcinpec defectors did not obey the party rules and they committed illegal acts, such as being involved in corruption.
Nhiek Bun Chhay, Funcinpec secretary-general, recognized that indeed about 5-6 Funcinpec officials defected since Prince Ranariddh was still the party leader. Furthermore, a number of Funcinpec government officials also defected the party to join the CPP. However, he said that these defections will not affect Funcinpec popularity, because the importance remains with the grass root levels. He said that, in fact, it is a good thing (that these defectors left the party) because they do not have a clear standing.
