Phnom Penh - An errant waste disposal contractor which was failing to keep rubbish off the streets could soon find the uncollected garbage dumped in its office, the capital's governor said Thursday.
Kep Chuktema said he realized that the French-Khmer company Cintri had faced logistical problems and felt sorry for it, but his first duty was to the public so the company had until the end of the week to up its performance.
"Otherwise I will send municipal staff to collect the rubbish and order them to dump it in the Cintri headquarters," he said.
Cintri won a 49-year exclusive waste collection contract for the capital in 2002, but has failed to stop piles of rubbish accumulating across the city.
It has blamed flooded roads to the city's only dump, but Chuktema, known for his outspokenness and sometimes left-of-centre solutions to problems, says that isn't good enough, and says he is not joking.
In 2003, he called on the population to eat more dogs to solve a problem with strays on the streets.

for those who didn't know, in cambodia, it takes strong individual to get anything done. i mean you have to have character to survive and get things done around cambodia. a weak person would not survive. it is almost like in the animal kingdom where the strongest survive and the weaks get eaten. i mean you have too. this is cambodia. and a hint to all, if you are weak or have a lenient or sensitive attitude and you want to be a leader of cambodia, forget it as you won't last long at all. thanks to the years of sufferings and of course, don't forget to mention the aftermath of the crazy KR era. it will take a survivor, a fighter, a survivor, a strong-headed individual or someone along that line to lead cambodia. it is almost like in the military, you got to be healthy, strong, young, full of energy, enthusiasm, motivation, callous, vigorous, smart etc, etc... to lead in cambodia. so if that don't fit you character, don't even try. cambodia is rough and ready. god bless cambodia.
12:58Am but we hope some day we can put those animal gansters in jail and have Cambodia lead by democracy!
Kep Chotema why don't you eat that gabage it realy good for CPP corrupters! You are looked like parasite anyway!
Ah Spam Rainxy must be stopped from littering all over Cambodia for his political gain.
Rubbish problem is getting out of hand even if we have the contracted collector.
Every household pay for the services charge but russbish remained on the street for quite a while before being collected.
Company shall have more truck on the road to solve the problem.
Kep chuktema won't dare to do what he has said. Cintri is too close to Hun Sen.
3:31AM that bull shit is what Kep Choupdola siad why does'nt he fine the company or take back the contrac!
Bull shit country of Ah Hun Xen's law!
3:56 AM
Cintri company involved with drug and mafia...
And if The Kep (the frog) fine the owner of Cintri, it's only for the election's process...
Ah Spam Ranxy created the mess. All garbage should be dump in Ah Spam Rainxy party's headquarter.
6:00 AM must be on drug or something, that's why his opinion sounds like garbage. It's amazing to see that some people still have a barbaric mindset in the 21st century.
Cintri's monthly bill should not appear on the electricity bill, if EDC is not run by Cintri. They are taking our money and doing sloppy work. Filthy garbage is not healthy. Just see what it has done to the brain of 6:00 AM.
5:31Pm good observation!
It is not just trash that makes Phnom Penh a trash city. There are a whole lot of shit they have not get done for so many years. It is like Kep Chuktema has never been out to other city to see the difference. We must blame one person when you know it take a village to achieve the community.
