Hun Xen: Anti-corruption law is almost out [… more than a decade late and numerous broken promises later]

This anti-corruption law is stretchy [KI-Media note: the word “yoeut” means both stretchy and lengthy in Khmer] just like a chewing a gum: SRP MP Son Chhay (Photo: Cambodge Soir Hebdo)

Hun Xen announced publicly that the anti-corruption law is almost out, therefore, government officials will have to declare their wealth, and those who do not declare their entire possession will face the law (sic!).

On Thursday, PM Hun Sen announced that tough measures will be taken against army officers who protect and back up illegal activities. He issued stern warnings to army officers who are conducting illegal business deals or who are involved in illegal businesses. He told these officers to leave the army rank as they bring bad image to the RCAF in general.

Regarding corruption, Hun Xen indicates that in the future, the anti-corruption will be adopted, and it will require high-ranking officers to declare all their wealth, therefore, those who do not declare all their wealth could face jail sentence.

Cheam Yeap, the CPP chairman of the National Assembly’s economy and finance committee, indicated today that government officials with the rank of department head and above must declare their wealth. As for the politicians, those who hold the rank of under-secretary of state and above will also have to declare their wealth.

According to Cheam Yeap, the anti-corruption draft law was approved by the Council of Ministers, but it did not reach the National Assembly (NA) yet. Cheam Yeap claimed that the NA could ratify this important law in April.

It should be noted that the anti-corruption draft law was in preparation since 1994, but up to now, the draft law has not been ratified yet. The anti-corruption includes 9 sections and 57 articles.

SRP MP Son Chhay, who has closely followed this law since 1994, said that this law is stretchy [KI-Media note: the word “yoeut” means both stretchy and lengthy in Khmer] just like a chewing a gum. To Son Chhay, whether the law is tardy or not is not important, what matters is whether the current government will have the political will to rain down on those corrupt officials or not. Son Chhay noted that a number of corrupt officials in Cambodia never had to face the law at all.

Son Chhay was Hun Sen's spy. Sooner or later he will run away from SRP to join a new party. He's opportunist politician that Cambodia has ever had in history. He has criticised the government but behind the scense, he's put his tail between his leg with Hun Sen for his survival.

just google and notice that 95% of Cambodian males is gay, 60% of them has a small dick, so they chose to work as whores for the White farang to bang their ass to get a life. If you are a Cambodian and has a bad time with your tiny dick, please consider us at:

Dear all,

The guy who Googled about Khmer men is not a Viet. He is a Hun Sen supporter and Khmer traitor. From reading his comments, he seem to be intellectually disabled or mentally ill, so please don't talk to him, just ignore him.

Back to the issue, Hun sen tried to divert internationally attention away from Rainsy's case and Viet border issues.

This anti-corruption laws will ever be adopted. If it is adopted, it will not go far enough but it is also designed to punish Hun Sen's critics and opposition politicians.

I don't believe Hun Sen's anti-corruption bill will work. He is the father of corruption and why does he think that everyone will believe him? Behind Hun Sen always allows his generals to corrupt the country, if not they will join others to survive. Hun Sen is always a liar. He des this because he wants to force the members of SRP to crawl to him. This is Hun Sen's tactic, he kills 2 birds with one stone.

What happens to all the fucking law makers? Are they afraid of a law they will make? Come on cowards, do it as soon as you can. Failure to pass the already tardy anti-corruption law, you are a bunch of idiot law makers. I don't think you are good enough for your job, please resign and enjoy whatever you have stolen from khmer national resources.

We all love real democracy and of course don't like the corruption and dictatorship. But we are not sure, that the opposition parties are able to give us Khmer a guaranty of peace, freedom, hope and a better of living.
The majority of Khmer people don't like CPP, but still clever enough to know the wrong and right. They have to vote for CPP, because they trusted them and first of all they love our country Cambodia.

To set an example for our high ranking officers in the Cambodia government, and to support anti- corruption law, I am willing to declare my wealth in public, which I have owned nothing, but a rental house.

Law alone is not enough, right Application of Law must be there to create justice.
But CPP members, those monkeys belive that Laws are tool, they use Laws to jail Khmer victims and opponents.

10:40 PM,

The laws are necessary because not all people are good in when left to their own devices. If everyone is good like you implied in your comment, there is no need for any law.

The CPP's regime afraid to have anti-corruption law passed because they themselves are very corrupted stealing national treasures. Sure they will have anti-corruption in place as long as nothing to be corrupted.

Anti-corruption law, issues with Preh Vihear Thailand and Territorial border encroachment by Vietnam. Human Right issues, KR trail in limbo,illegal logging land eviction are all the subjects that proof the CPP officials and it leader Hun Sen are incapable to running and governing Cambodia after so many term in the official they manange to resolve none but made it worser by the day.

What is the point of introducing the anti-corruption i think it a complete Lip service. This how Hun Sen and deliver the benefit to the people of cambodia. EMPTY PROMISESE AFTER EMPTY PROMISSES.

Get out and let the younger generation Khmer who are more knowledgable to run the country you dumb ass.

There has always been a corruption law on the books since the passage of the UNTAC Criminal Law. The problem has always been enforcement. Who going to want to accept the job of pointing fingers?
