Hun Sen reminds about the “road inspection” problems which the officials claim to have forgottenSaturday, March 15, 2008
Koh Santepheap
Translated from Khmer by Heng Soy
Hun Sen warned again about the “road inspection” problems set up by “second-hand” (i.e., not officially sanctioned by the government) control police officers. He said that this problem is rearing back up, and it did not disappear yet.
Hun Sen said that, near Chhlong district, there is a control station, and in Kampong Cham, near the digging by the paved road, there is one place where bribes are being asked also. Hun Sen requested to government officials: “Take a look at them, they are all over the place. I am pointing these 2 locations for you to see only, near the border between Kampong Cham and Kratie provinces.”
Hun Sen made these remarks in the afternoon of 13 March during his presence at the closing of the Ministry of Interior conference. Hun Sen indicated that, there is no problem dealing with police officers taking bribes, all that needs to be done is to take off their title. He said that roads were built for orderly traffic, but these cops turn them into a bribe-request location instead. He said that TVK broadcast about this issue every day, but, they don’t watch it, and even the newspapers are reporting about these control stations, but the government officials do not read about them. Hun Sen added: “When the high-ranking officials go down to inspect, their cars are blaring the siren sound, so that when those who set up the control stations hear about it, they just took off because they are mobile control stations.”
Hun Sen said that he used to make the request (to shut down these control stations), but, now, he shouldn’t make any request anymore. Hun Sen asked: “Are you running out of food to eat if you stop taking bribes from taxicabs for one day? This is a negative point that will lead to other problems…”
Hun Sen asked the provincial officials to take a look at this issue, and not to wait until the PM yells for them to take a short-lived measure, fighting this issue must be done constantly. In the case of “road inspection,” Hun Sen ordered all city and provincial officials to pay attention to them, and to clean up these “second-hand” control stations. He said government officials should post a sign in front of their office doors to remind themselves to get rid of these control stations. According to Hun Sen’s warning, officials working in an area where there is a second-hand control station, will be removed from their position, however, no such punishment has been metered out yet. Some believed that if, in spite of warning, these police officers are still doing it, then it is time that they should be dealt with so they take responsibility for their action.

Those morons who give us all a bad name, you better pack up now and leave town. We are not going to warn you again. You got that, motherfuckers?
Hun Xen has lied again & again & again.
Where and when?
what the heck he is talking about again? i pity the majority Cambodians who are not able to see the big picure of his game.
why not sack his incompetent national police commissioner ? appoint a new effective commissioner! look like this wont come easy as the current commissioner is his in-law. After all, he is only playing this game time and again once election is nearing. [khmer farmer]
Actually, you can't do just one thing without the other. We will run out of supply that way. We have to do both. PM doesn't kid around. He had got rid of governors before too.
Yep! HunSen came out to save the whole again, just in time when the re-election happen to be this year. Why is this dog barking again? The saddest thing is that people swallowed hooks, liners, and sinkers!
HunSen knew that a majority Khmer people are illiterate. His policy is to make education for the elite and those able to pay for his/her own education. And more 85% population the Khmer are still living in a Gathering/Hunting Society.
When will Khmer goes pass the Neanderthal period?
Someone (10:00) one is a bit hypocrite here.
We are not the only one who does thing before the election, are we?
And literacy too, Khmer is the same around the globe, and he picking on us. That is just outrageous.
Darn gorilla!
I cannot recall any one governor got sent to prison at all, except the case of Heng Pov! where potential high level crime/involvement risks being exposed against Hok Lundy and PM himself and his crooks!
Governor of Stung Treng with illegal logging case ? he is at large, i guess in Laos.
Again, with illegal check points in provinces...can he track down those bad cops ? yes, he can if he wants...but why keep barking again and again....cant he find a better people to hold those office?
All are his crook, protecting his power base...i doubt he would prosecute these people.
7:46, you don't send people to prison because they failed their duty. You just replace them, and that is it.
Hun Sen has no willing to crack down on the road control illegal polices. He said he used to suggest the authorities to do but no one listen him so he should step down.
Well, PM always try to use diplomacy first.
Diplomacy first? Or Hun Xen lie all the way to Hanoi?
Nope, PM doesn't lie, only opposition from the west lie.
