Kep Chuktema, the governor of the city of Phnom Penh, indicated that he will use an extreme measure against all those who refuse to pay their trash collection fees to the Cintri Company: their electricity will be cut off. Kep Chuktema made this announcement during a meeting held in the morning of 27 August 2009 at the city hall, to address the trash issue with Cintri, the company which received the trash collection concession from the city. Kep Chuktema said that, from now on, the city will take major steps and it will announce the information to the public. He also requested to Cintri to set up a detailed list of its clients that are behind in paying the trash collection fees, as well as the reason why they refused to pay these fees. He also indicated the city will request a meeting with Electricité du Cambodge and the Council of Ministers on the mechanism to resolve the price dispute.

They don't pay because cintri overcharges all foreigners and cintri is a big ripoff. The money is not being spent on rubbish collection, suprise, suprise,. Kep Chuktema, get your act together and put the rubbish collection up for tender to the most efficient company, not your friends that put money in your back pocket.
The cintri rate is not based on the quantity of rubbish as the electricity does, so it's not faire to be charged.
Kep Chutema, please don't blame only your people, please try to make a better solution.
We run a small office but we have to pay 25$/month for cintri while our rubbish is only one or two small bag a week. Comparing to a normal family who pays 1 or 2$/month while they throw two or three bag a day.
It's not faire at all.
What does electricity have to do with garbage?
they said that their fee is transparent. However, when I refused to pay, they tried to negotiate to drop from $15 to only $5. This what they mean by being transparent.
8"53pm with no electricity you step on the garbage at night!
This good move for Mr. Kep Chuktema governor of Phnom Penh city...i agree! if they don't pay, cut them off!!
This the way to keep our Phnom Penh city stay cleans, people must pay their share, don't throw or drop everything on Gov't to take care!! the money will help produce cleans water, keep the city cleans, traffics light repaired...etc! people must pay for trashs pickup and taxs....
9:21 AM you seem to be right, but we have paid at least 10 to 15% VAT whenever we buy a thing. Where does it go? It goes to the governer pocket? How about the other taxes that we paid for the gov? Anyway, we don't refuse to pay for the rubbish fee but it should be reasonable.
