PHNOM PENH, Oct. 3 (Xinhua) -- Prime Minister Hun Sen has announced that the lawmakers from the ruling Cambodian People's Party (CPP) who hold both government posts and seats in the National Assembly will resign their parliamentary positions and concentrate on their ministerial responsibilities, national media reported Friday.
"If we keep them in two positions it will be difficult for them to stand with one leg in the National Assembly and the other one in the government," Hun Sen was quoted as saying in the Phnom PenhPost.
"I have already signed off on (a letter) to the National Election Committee (NEC) regarding the replacements," Hun Sen said.
Hun Sen named the resigned parliamentarians as Minister of Rural Development Chea Sophara, Minister of Information and government spokesman Khieu Kanharith, Minister of Education, Youthand Sports Im Sethy, Minister of Environment Mok Mareth, and Minister of Social Affairs Ith Sam Heng.
Nguon Nhel, the first deputy president of the National Assembly, said that a total of 40 CPP parliamentarians holding dual positions or being considered for fresh government posts were in line to be replaced.
"Such replacements are the strategy of Hun Sen," he told the Post Thursday, adding that "we have already approved the names of the candidates."
Meanwhile, the three Human Rights Party (HRP) parliamentarians who boycotted the Sept. 24 swearing-in of the new Assembly will have the chance to be sworn-in in a separate session with the replacement CPP parliamentarians.

That is totally wrong for CPP to replace their members elected to parliament and be appointed as ministers to replace their seat in Parliament by another group of CPP. That is a thieves of CPP to steal more members.
It is a deocratic system in which all CPP members elected by election should stay at the same number and have to presente themselve at both Government ministers and members of Parliament. They have to be available at all time for questions from oppostion parties. The Prime Minister is also a member of Parliament and be available at all time in parliament for questions. Areak Prey
It's time to change the old rules by 2 time of wage a month to one person by reshufle to 2 person. this is to reduce the poorverty of rank of higher government leading and time to share the power to opposition party.
From Khmer Love Khmer.
That is totally wrong for a PERSON TO EARN TWO POSITIONS salary !!!
When a party has won more number of members into the parliament, that party can be appointed by the king to form a government with their members in the parliament. Among them, some will be ministers and some will be sitting as a back bencher ( normal member of parliament). Noone is supposed to earn double salary. It will different from one is a member of parliament and another one is a minister of the government who would earn higher salary. This a parliamentary system. If Cambodia is a presidential system ( without a King ) then, Hun Sen can appoint his ministers among all his friends outside of member of Parliament. May be Hun Sen wants to abolish the king and will declare himself as President? Areak Prey
The volatility of internal conflict is at full throttle. Of course, this is an indication of the precipitation of the ruling party's demise. Yes, the end is near.
