Phnom Penh Tuesday, 15 June 2010
The council members “are the officials from the ruling CPP who cannot eliminate corruption in the government."The nascent national Anti-Corruption Council opened its first meeting Tuesday, selecting its president and vice president and calling the official declaration of assets the first order of business.
The 11-member council, a policymaking and standards body, was formed as part of a new anti-corruption law that critics worry won’t have teeth to combat Cambodia’s rampant corruption.
The council chose Top Sam, 63, as president and Prak Sok, 67, as vice president. Both are former members of the Constitutional Council and members of the ruling Cambodian People’s Party.
Om Yentieng, a council member who is also the head of the Anti-Corruption Unit, told reporters that the first work of the council will be to determine assets of officials.
The ACU will be in charge of investigation and operations, he said. “The National Anti-Corruption Council does not interfere in the work of the Anti-Corruption Unit.”
Some members of the opposition and development organizations said Tuesday’s meeting did nothing to allay fears the anti-graft bodies will seriously tackle the corruption that costs Cambodia millions of dollars a year.
The council members “are the officials from the ruling CPP who cannot eliminate corruption in the government,” said Yim Sovann, a lawmaker and spokesman of the opposition Sam Rainsy Party.
However, Top Sam said the council was committed to the new law, telling reporters, “You all should wait for the result of the implementation of this law.”
And Om Yentieng admitted the work would be “very difficult, particularly [finding] evidence of corruption,” but he added, “We cannot retreat.”
Other members of the council include Som Kimsour, Minister of National Assembly and Senate Relations; Keo Remy, secretary of state for the government’s Human Rights Committee; Chan Tany, secretary of state for the Council of Ministers; Suy Mong Leang, head of legal and judicial reform; Heng Vong Bunchat, head of legal council; Uth Chhon, president of the National Auditing Authority; Chiv Keng, head of Phnom Penh Municipal Court; and Kuy Sophal, a senior official for the Royal Palace.
please don't forget to realize people can change, too, you know! if you failed to understand that, then you are not a real leader or peacemaker. maybe you belong in the commando squat or something; however, in a leader, we need an educated individuals that met all requirments. in today's cambodia, we don't tolerate the use of force to grab power like during the dark age or stone age, you know!
ReplyDeleteI am tired of such a propagandist.
ReplyDelete"we are working hard for it. we know it is not good enough, but we try our best."
"of course, from there on, we will work to improve and to better and better..."
Such words are very popular among insufficient officials... Just like "we will find effective medicine for you." By the time the medicine is produced, the patient would already die. So stop propagondising.

Under the Cambodian People's Party Hun Sen Khmer Rouge Regime, no criminals that has been committed crimes against journalists, political opponents, leaders of the Free Trade Union, innocent men, women and children have ever been brought to justice.
if opposition continue to use politics here, we know they are not too popular. their political method is no more than rancor, name-calling, jealousy, personal, narrow-mindedness; most are outdated too; then they are not effective, to say the least! is that all they can do. god forbid they lead cambodia into chaos with their backward thinking like stupid KR regime. people must analyze the opposition style of politics. they are so ineffective; how can they ever win election as majority. they keep on cursing people who chose to think differently from them. i mean, think about it; we are seeing their true color on the blog here.

ReplyDeletePhases of money cleansing, including exploded land sale came to finish undesirably.
Bombarded with petition has forced RGC produce an infantive corruption laws.
Sok Anh is a master mind in covering up the corruption.
Om yin Tieng opened up slightly about impossibility of tracing evidences.
Stolen money do not sit still, it appears in all form of materials surrounding themselve and their associates, NOT to mentioned that those stolen money can either be stashed in safe place or in foreign banks.
Tea moneys are relating to any projects.Just ask CDC and who were incharge of each project,soon will find out.
Other hidden money would be those who were in charge of custom and police. Stolen money from lands ask generals,they still got hold on massive vacant land that cambodians are struggling to cultivate for foods.
What about the fat cats in administration,look into all buisinesses clearly can find all details.
Otherwise cambodia would not be called first class corrupted management.
