The National Election Committee on Wednesday ruled in favor of 11 cases filed against opposition leader Sam Rainsy by ruling Cambodian People's Party officials and in favor of two Sam Rainsy Party complaints.
CPP officials had accused Sam Rainsy of defaming and insulting the CPP's top leaders as "thieves of the nation" and a "blind driver."
The NEC fined Sam Rainsy a total of 10 million riel in all 11 cases, but denied a motion by CPP lawyer Ben Sonsamay for the removal of Sam Rainsy's parliamentary candidacy.
The NEC ruled in favor of SRP Kampot candidate Mu Sochua, fining CPP provincial official San Sman 5 million riel for using a military vehicle to campaign.
The NEC fined Thin Venneth, a CPP deputy village chief, 5 million riel, for the use of a state motorcycle for campaigning.

I don't know why PM Hun Sen still uses this crook scambag Ben Sonsamay. He was a crook in the US and crook in Cambodia never gone to school no law school of that nature. He paid a jew-american lawyer to write him a paper said he is a lawyer and he never went to law school.
5 million riels is not the rule NEC, the act of bodily harm on MP MU SOC HUA is much worse. these perpetrators should be removed if there is any code of conducts.
That is ridiculous. It is not a crime for people to use the work car or motorcycle to support their political party.
Your are right 6:28 AM. It is your code of conduct as CPP to utilize public properties for your own. You will use Cambodian oil to make yourself millionor, you should not be hanged?
