Premier Hun Sen 'Will Not Dare To Clash With Cham Prasit' [-Nepotism in full swing among the CPP ministers in P.Penh]

Cham Prasidh and his wife, the powerful Lok Chumteav Tep Bopha Prasidh

Minister of Public Works and Transport Tram Iv-tek has appointed his daughter as office chief. Tek Leakhena was appointed office chief while her husband was made deputy director general of a department in this ministry. At the Ministry of Environment there is also competition among Minister Mok Maret's relatives. Such an example has been adopted by officials of the Cambodian People's Party (CPP) as seen with Trade Minister Cham Prasit and Social Affairs Minister It Sam Heng.

Sources have reported that Public Works Ministry personnel were greatly surprised when Tram Iv-tek appointed his daughter Tek Leakhena as office chief, along with Tek Leakhena's husband as deputy director general of a department. The ministry staff said that it is a bit too soon to make Tek Leakhena's husband a deputy director of a department and Tek Leakhena office chief.

At Mok Maret's Ministry of Environment competition is still ongoing for the posts of director general of administration and office chief between Mok Maret's brother-in-law (younger brother of Maret's wife) and Mok Maret's nephew. There has been no decision yet on this matter as Mok Maret has difficulty deciding who to give the position to: one is brother-in-law, the other is nephew. In any case the position of director general of administration will not escape from Mok Maret's brother-in-law or nephew. The incumbent director general has been reported trying hard to find a backer; it would be very hard, however, for the incumbent director to keep his position once the circular on retiring officials is out.

It Sam Heng at the Social Affairs Ministry is the most well known for appointing relatives and his own children to high positions at the ministry's office or cabinet. With so many relatives and offspring working at the ministry, and in order to avoid criticism from various circles, It Sam Heng ordered his relatives to change their family names and hide their biographies. Some of these are It Sam Heng's nephews but some officials at the ministry did not realize this when looking at the names before these people were accepted.

Trade Minister Cham Prasit is the one renowned for considering relatives first for jobs at the ministry: offspring, nephew, and wife all work at the ministry. Daughter Cham Nimol is chief of the minister's office. Son Cham Borit is deputy director general at Camcontrol department. Most special of all is Cham Prasit's wife: Tep Bopha; she is head of the archives department and in charge of Cham Prasit's secret documents. The trade ministry is the most famous in appointing offspring, nephew, and wife to high positions to facilitate corruption and to hide documents.

At the Trade Ministry Chm Prasit's wife is the one at the helm. In Cham Prasit's absence it is not any one of the many officially appointed state secretaries who will be acting minister; instead it is Tep Bopha Prasit even though she has not been officially appointed. Tep Bopha Prasit's power is very strong. Some of the state secretaries have nothing to do while Tep Bopha Prasit has plenty of work to do with no time to rest.

Apart from the Trade Ministry and the above other ministries, there is also the Ministry of Urbanization of Im Chhun Lim who made his son office chief. This appointment drew a lot of attention from some leading officials at the ministry as it was made in this fourth term.

And it is the same work structure based on family ties at other institutions. This culture is increasingly expanding now with ministers holding the same portfolios for the past three or four terms. Some appointments have been seen as appropriate looking at the officials' competence. Some others are not competent work wise and are not suitable for their positions; they are there due to the leadership positions of their fathers or uncles. Some of these officials only carry the minister's documents and oversee the budget; this is part of corruption.

Apart from the various ministries, in some provinces and cities relatives have been appointed office chiefs. Phnom Penh City Governor Kep Chutema appointed his daughter as his personal assistant. This personal assistant's influence has been affirmed to be even stronger than that of the office chief. Everyone is fearful of the influence of Kep Chutema's daughter.

No action by the prime minister to deal with this issue has been seen. And this has led to the inefficiency of circulars putting officials into retirement as seen currently spreading at various ministries and offices. Each ministry is the sole property of the minister in charge and his family. There are some subordinate officials who could not work with and who have left those ministries.

Such a culture has not been dealt with because it is believed that if it is to be dealt with, the trade ministry should be the first. It is said that in any event Prime Minister Hun Sen will not dare to clash with Cham Prasit. If it is going to be dealt with, it has to be done with everyone. If not, let it spread all over.

Get off the fucking internet you leech. What the fuck are you doing online? Shouldn't you be out doing good for the people? Stop your bullshit selflessness. You care about your well-being than anyone else. Only a fucking cynical asshole like you like others to think you care about other people more than yourself.

If you care about other people more you, would you take a bullet for them? Answer me! The answer is no, I already knew that. That proves that you only talk like you care but in reality you are just as selfish as any other human being. Stop being a fucking snake, alright?

Hey folks, can you answer the question whether Cambodia is entirely belong to Hun Sen alone.

My answer is YES.

It doesn't matter what purposes you are playing: my answer is YES

Simply...

That would the honorable thing for Hun Sen to reform and restore people confidence in government.
He needs to tame the foxy dames like Prasid mother, Tep Bopha, for exemplary. I heard she is the queen of the hill in the ministry,she used young men as her personal personal tasks doers and sent her boxes of dollar to Rany to keep her do boy in place since he was nearly sacked not long ago.

The queen of nepotists,hungry tigress Sam Heang alias Rany, is collecting annual dues from the foxies as usual.

No way that Hun Sen will deal with this situation because he himself also appoints his offspring and relatives for higher positions.

Hey folks!

How dare to name themselves as 'Prasihd' and worse than that call themselves 'Lok Chumteav' and 'Lok Oknha', 'Tep' and 'Bopha', when really they are demons... of the hell.

I'm sure you all understand what I meant by that...

Hi, guys out there. Why the fxxx are you insulting each other for the sake of those in-humans? Patriots like you should do something beneficial to the country besides bad-mouthing. For instance, join the corrupted world and bring out the black money to support the poor or to create a force to destroy them all.
Stop blaming those bastards, Prasid, Bopha, and their gangs, if you can't do anything about it. Your scold only prolongs their thirsty desire for more miserable Khmer people.
