Stung Treng court commences investigation into Gen. Ke Kimyan’s land deals

Translated from Khmer by Khmerization

From a very credible but unconfirmed source said that the Stung Treng court will launch an investigation into thousands of hectares of lands belonging to Gen. Ke Kimyan which previously the courts were afraid to take actions against him because Gen. Ke Kimyan was a very powerful Commander-in-Chief of the army. (Gen. Ke Kimyan was sacked as Commander-in-Chief of the army on 22nd January, 2009).

The same source said that, in the not too distant future, the court will commence its investigation into thousands of hectares of lands belonging to Gen. Ke Kimyan. If it found that those lands were obtained through improper way, they will be confiscated and return to the state.

However, there is no official statement from the government confirming the information. But many observers believe that Prime Minister Hun Sen’s policy of reforms will lead to the above measures (court actions against Gen. Ke Kimyan).

The same source said that those lands are now developed by a private company backed by Gen. Ke Kimyan.

Other than involving in improperly obtaining thousands of hectares of lands in Stung Treng, Gen. Ke Kimyan has been alleged to be behind thousands of hectares of improper land deals in Banteay Meanchey province as well as in Preah Vihear province. But those land deals have been frozen after Gen. Ke Kimyan was sacked on 22nd January 2009.

A government official said that the major reason that Prime Minister Hun Sen sacked Gen. Ke Kimyan was because he was too busy with his land deals and involved in too many scandalous land deals and neglecting his duty as Commander-in-Chief at the same time as when Cambodia is facing border incursions from Thai troops.

Observers said that if the information is true that the Stung Treng court is investigating Gen. Ke Kimyan’s land deals, it has proven that the sacking of Gen. Ke Kimyan was really due to reforms in the army as promised by Prime Minister Hun Sen.

Gen. Ke Kimyan is the 16th most powerful person in the hierarchy of the Cambodian People’s Party and has been seen as the person who is most closest to Mr. Chea Sim, the president of the Cambodian Senate.

Many analysts said that the sacking of Gen. Ke Kimyan is a warning to other officials not to violate the rules of the party and the policies of PM Hun Sen.

The opposition parties and NGO’s said that PM Hun Sen is sacking only those officials belonging to the Chea Sim’s faction. But Mr. Hun Sen denied the suggestions by saying that the sackings were necessary to implement his policies of reforms.

Many analysts said that those who are involved in scandals, corrupt land deals and who committed injustices will have to review their own actions to avoid from suffering the same fate as Gen. Ke Kimyan.

I think there OUGHT TO be an investigation about HUN SEN and THAKSIN's secret business deal IN CAMBODIA. I think this is more critical and problematic in term of CAMBODIA'S NATIONAL INTEREST.

12:56 AM, if they are in the current power block, the deal was good; if not, they will have to start over from scratch.

For outside investors, you have to be from a country that can wield prower and induce fear for your investment to be safe from "reforming" or "reshuffling" processes.

It is a small country - big and absolute power system.

Hun Sen is weakening within his CPP opposition by the trick he has in hand, because he know that every governmrnt officers are corrupt and khmer national plunders like him, so if he fell they are not doing well with him or in some case for his politically gains those officers will be accused of bla bla.. to satify international community.

Hun Sen is trying very paranoid, similar to Pol Pot during his rule. Now he has just ordered the arrest of Ke Kimyan. He doesn't trust anyone. He is destroying himself from within. It won't be long before his power grip will tumble.
