Original report from Phnom Penh

Cambodian People's Party authorities have colluded with local school administrators in Pursat province to arrange the sale of school land for use as a political party headquarters, Sam Rainsy Party officials said Friday.
"This corruption is taking away from the people of Cambodia," said Heng Chanthuon, an SRP official for Pursat.
A CPP official in Pursat denied the allegations Friday, but said the use of land was up to school officials, and if they offered it to the party, he would take it.
Ong Sovath, a SRP commune clerk in Pursat, said a local village chief and school principal were working without higher approval for the exchange of land.
The land sale had angered local teachers, Ong Sovath said.

It is because the CPP officials threat teachers to obey or they can be dismissed from position.
