"[T]he city's busy environment during the campaign made it "very difficult" to enforce license plate regulations" - CPP governor Kep Chuktema on alleged gov't vehicles used in CPP campaign
Opposition lawmaker Son Chhay, the Sam Rainsy Party election candidate for Phnom Penh, called on the Ministry of Interior Thursday to crack down on vehicles without license plates during the campaign period.

Vehicles with no license plates likely belong to police, military and other state officials who have removed them in order to help the Cambodian People's Party campaign, Son Chhay said in a letter to the ministry.

Interior Ministry spokesman Khieu Sopheak said there were some vehicular irregularities during the campaign, but the ministry had not issued an order to curb the practice.

People were using their own personal vehicles to help the campaign, he said.

Phnom Penh Governor Kep Chuktema said the city's busy environment during the campaign made it "very difficult" to enforce license plate regulations.

Son Chhay's letter follows accusations from the opposition party's Kampot province candidate, Mu Sochua, that government and military officials there are using state vehicles for campaigning.

No complaints involving the use of state vehicles has been registered with city election authorities, said Lon Cheng Kay, Phnom Penh municipal election committee chairman.

"Some vehicles, such as police or military police, are individually owned and are not state property," he said.

We gotta have rules of law and abide by them.

Nothing hard about this. If they see the GOVERNMENT license plate with the party campaign sticker, Stop it and give a stiff penalty fine like 16000000 Riels-(about $4000. That's all. Penalize one or two cars, word will spread. Then no one will do it.

...oh yea, then compound the vehicle. Hold it for 30 days for the owner to claim it. Charge additional $1000 for the vehicle to be released. After 30 days, if the vehicle is not claimed by the owner, it will be up for auction or sold as scrap metal.

That's how you deter these law breakers.

Now, who's want to stick the campaing sign on the government licence plate ??

It is sick that people can't used their work car to support their political candidate.

I am sure that there many government workers in the US and elsewhere used their car from work to support their political Candidate. I mean those, who can't afford to have their own private car.

Im suosdey's son a former big brother at High School has returned from the US after " having studied" in a University in Texsas.
Now he works as a vice director of a Unit in the NEC.

Last week he came to work with a

The NEC is the institution or the CPP's infernal machine where NEPOTISM is very strongly installed.
