ROYAL EMBASSY OF CAMBODIA February 5, 2009
CAMBODIAN AMBASSADOR HITS BACK AT “NAIVE” PRESSURE GROUP
The Cambodian Ambassador to UK has accused the pressure group, Global Witness, of pursuing a malicious campaign to try and discredit the country and its leaders.
It follows the publication of a new report from Global Witness - Country for Sale – which accuses the Cambodian Government of high-level corruption in its allocation of lucrative rights to mine for minerals, oil and natural gas.
Global Witness also accuses international donors supporting Cambodia with development aid of turning a blind eye to what it claims is poor governance by the Cambodian authorities.
Reacting angrily to the report, the Ambassador of Cambodia in the UK, H.E. Nambora Hor, accused Global Witness of being poorly-managed and indulging in hugely-damaging smear campaigns. He called on the wide variety of international bodies which help fund Global Witness to demand an urgent review of its policies and activities. “It is naïve for Global Witness to imagine that Cambodia’s international donors are not fully aware of the way the Royal Cambodian Government’s conducts its affairs and its commitment to demonstrating the highest possible standards.”
The Ambassador added: “The Royal Government of Cambodia intends to play a leading role in managing the potential revenues from the exploitation of the country’s recently discovered minerals, oil and gas reserves and recognizes the importance of having a good set of laws in place.
“The Government is working hard to establish a sound and comprehensive framework governing the extractive industries. These will reflect best practice and be based on the principles of transparency and accountability.
“Where possible, the Royal Cambodian Government intends to involve local people and businesses as much as possible in using whatever revenue is generated from extracting resources to fund improved health, education and social conditions for our people which is very important for the long-term prosperity of Cambodia.”

Don't worry too much Mr. Bora... it is nearly guarantee that whatever Global Witness say... CPP still win the election and even more and more people support CPP. and ur father still being deputy prime minister forever.
Hahahhaahahaha face the truth BOra5 Hong Yourwhole people are smell ,take the shower shame all your CPP khmer rouge ,my families and I won't be blinding march with your company ,your company are stink shame on you.
Mr. Bora, you would better invite Global Witness staffs to H.E. Hun Neng'house. He will give them a good lesson.
Thank You, HE Hor NamBora for defending Khmer and Cambodia from Pouk Ah Scam Rainxy and Potato Diggers.
Thank son of the khmer rouge and khmer rouge it self try to defend khmer rob khmer and khmer dictator's team.
Mr.Bora5Hong are you one of the Beung TraBek khmer rouge and khmer killer?
I think potatoes digger way better than ah short potatoes to eat ah pleu under sea. How many dry bones per day ah Hun Sen give them to chew?
The truth hurts, and Hor Nam Bora has no choice except barking mad in defense of the indefensible.
While KI Media has the courtesy of showing his uneducated response, the crooked government of Cambodia blocks access to the Global Witness website. And, this happens even before they officially introduce a legislation to block unwanted websites.
This kind of response only confirms the CPP's criminal activities as reported by other concerned activists.
Wrong, Hor Nambora has plenty choices. He could start his own party. He could join Ah Scam Rainxy. He could get a new job in the UK ...
But he didn't because he loves his country and Khmer People, which is why he defends their integrity.
Defending their integrity?
My arse. Defending the leech like you is more like it....
go to eat shit and die you CPP leech 1:29 AM!
