Draft anti-corruption law was passed by 82 lawmakers, mostly from PM Hun Sen's ruling Cambodian People's PartyFriday, March 12, 2010

PHNOM PENH — Cambodia on Friday accused the United Nations of "flagrantly interfering" in its affairs after local agencies expressed concern over a controversial anti-corruption law approved this week.
Ranked one of the most corrupt countries in the world, Cambodia passed the law in parliament on Thursday, more than 15 years after legislation to tackle graft was first proposed, but only days after the draft was shared publicly.
Opposition and rights groups said the draft was flawed and asked for more debate, and a statement this week from the UN country team in Cambodia encouraged enough time to ensure "a transparent and participatory" process.
"This so-called 'UN Country Team' should not act out of its mandate, in flagrantly interfering in the internal affairs of a UN member state," said a statement by Cambodia's foreign affairs ministry.
"Furthermore, it should refrain from acting as if it were the spokesperson of the opposition parties," it added.
All lawmakers from the opposition Sam Rainsy Party walked out of parliament in protest just hours before the draft law was passed by 82 lawmakers, mostly from Prime Minister Hun Sen's ruling Cambodian People's Party.
A national anti-corruption council and an anti-corruption unit will be created to oversee investigations, but critics said it was unlikely either body would be effective because both would be controlled by the ruling party.
Public figures face up to 15 years in prison if convicted of accepting bribes, according to the draft law.
The law will take effect after receiving approval from Cambodia's Senate and promulgation from King Norodom Sihamoni, which are both considered formalities.
Cambodia was ranked 158 out of 180 countries on anti-graft organisation Transparency International's most recent corruption perception index.
It was also ranked the second most corrupt Southeast Asian nation after Indonesia in an annual poll by the Political and Economic Risk Consultancy, seen by AFP on Tuesday.
Last year, a US diplomat said that graft costs Cambodia up to 500 million dollars every year, an allegation the government rejected as "unsubstantiated."

Hun Sen is the mother of all crooks in Xcambodia. Want an end to corruption, vote them out in 2013. House cleaning is long overdue.
ReplyDeleteWhen there are gangsters and organized crime syndicate lead the country, you will see stupid and crazy decision making from policy makers, such as the one from Ah Hun Pleu administration. This is the weakest nation on earth. That is why Ah Youn see opportunities to grab it as soon as possible. No wonder why Cambodia has lost her land bit by bit.
ReplyDeleteCheyo Ah Hun Pleu, Ah Sok Boeuy (soeuy bok), Ah Heng Lop, and Ah Cheam Chhnguy (Chuy Chhngeam) for protecting all of organized crime members for CPP. Your gangsters will destroy Cambodia for sure in a short future !!!
LOL
The world need to send strong message to the dictatorship in Cambodia. ASEAN, UN, EU, US embassy along opposition parties must work together to promote democracy and human right in Cambodia.
ReplyDeleteCambodia deserve better leadership who listen to public concern and minority's concern. Hun Sen who is communist is not going to do that
CELEBRATING of PRIVATE PARTY!
ReplyDeleteThey're getting BRIGHTER now.
We're getting DARKER everyday.
Hun Sen and the CPP forget that it was the UN that brought peace and now prosperity to Cambodia. Do they want to make Cambodia an isolated and backward country again? Without the UN, the Siems would take Preah Vihear back and Hun Sen couldn’t do anything at all! Jungle men like Hun Sen and his rotten cronies always behave like they still in the Stone Age.
ReplyDeleteCambodia is worst than Burma for being corrupted country... We are worst of the worst? and still denying rights for our people to speak in the anti corruption law? Are we are trying to achieving #1 for being corrupted country in the world?
ReplyDelete3:37PM,
ReplyDeleteClose down UN office? Who are you kidding?
There are currently 30 open criminal cases of Hun Sen at UN. When the time is right they will prosecute him. He know that too that is why he will do anything against his will jut to stay in power, just to live another day until Youn kill him or UN prosecute him.
Hun Sen need sychological help. The man should be in metal institude not ruling the country.
ReplyDeleteHun Sen have been buse his power and military power to thread and kiling citizens and destroying the nation. No one can match him in the country and yes the nation need the higher authority help. As long as Hun Sen is being unethical UN and other organizations will always keep an eye out for him. This is call universal norm. It's Hun Sen that are not normal. Hun Sen is crazy!
People don't respect him. People afraid of him.
Hun Sen is pathetic! He think he owned Cambodia. However, he won't dare to walk on Cambodia soil alone. So who's really coward?
The UN is on its way to his cleanse this bastard child with the notorious bad reputation for his ill-behaved attitude.
ReplyDeleteIn the mean time, the UN will make the lives the Burmese generals miserable, and then--guess 'who'--the infamous one-eyes irresolute and indecisive leader Ah Sen.

Hun Sen and his government look like more and more as a brutal reactionary gang. They are willing to compete with Marcos, Suharto in Asia or Mobutu, King of Zaire and the current president of Zimbabwe in Africa. They head to be a more and more dictatorial, more and more corrupt regime. Absolute power corrupts absolutely! So wake up donor countries that give him generously so far.
