THE opposition Sam Rainsy Party has accused Nguon Nhel, the first deputy president of the National Assembly, of employing 71 advisers, and urged National Assembly President Heng Samrin to investigate this “irregularity”.
In a letter dated Friday, 13 SRP lawmakers alleged that Nguon Nhel’s army of advisers was costing the government 112 million riels (US$26,730) per month, roughly $320,760 annually.
“The Royal Government always discusses the lack of budget for the salaries of civil servants and the armed forces, so we would like Samdech Assembly President to explain the large expenses of His Excellency the deputy president,” the letter said.
Nguon Nhel could not be reached for comment yesterday. However, Cheam Yeap, chief of the National Assembly’s Finance and Banking Committee, defended Nguon Nhel’s need for an armada of aides.
“This serves the interest of the nation and helps [Nguon Nhel] lead the legislature,” Cheam Yeap said. “It allows our leaders to get intelligent and expert advice.”
The allegations come as the government pushes forward with a campaign of self-described public administration reform. According to a September circular from the Council of Ministers, government promotions and salary raises have been suspended for this year on orders from Prime Minister Hun Sen.
The premier also called for the number of contracted and temporary staffers in the government to be halved, though he granted exceptions for the health and education sectors.
In September of last year, an International Monetary Fund mission to Cambodia warned that increased spending and “very large increases in the civil service and military wage bill” were running up the Kingdom’s deficit to unsustainable levels.
“The mission cautioned against allowing significant increases in the wage bill to become entrenched, as this could risk crowding out spending on priority sectors such as health, education, and operations and maintenance,” the IMF said at the time.

We the khmer people Called for Nguon Nhil to step down!!!
He is a waste of the Nation and destroy all natural resources. Meybe he votes to cut land to he boss vietnam too for exchange his power.
That dude is old his brains can function very well that fucking why he had alots of advisor to helping him.
Is this guy know how to read/write? Hun Xen needs to check this guy out. Maybe he blinds or can not read/write that why he needs so many advisers.
There is nothing new about this corrupted-to-the-bones CPP system of governance. To think about it, how many advisors does Hun Sen have? How about the rest of CPP top brass like Chea Sim, Heng Samrin, etc...? How much money do they waste on this so-called Advisors? There is no money to rise teachers' salary because they are spreading among their own loyalists.
I remembered in 1970-1975 Most of the Cammandant claimed they have full actives forces intact, but at the end each of the battalion have only 132 men. When order to the front they scare, but most of them vietcong ate all livers.
Such as Sèk Sam Iet is an Example... in the Top rank to joined CPP today.
what the f*ck? 71 advisors for what? This only means one thing: He is a complete numbskull monkey. He can't neither reason or understand anything. All he does is to ask others for "answers aka recommednations" to any issues and problems. He looks completely a drunkard and a child rapist. I bet he can't even add numbers or recite the native Khmer alphabet. Have anyone noticed that of all the Hun Sen's team members, only Hun Sen and his children stand alone? Only Hun Sen is able to send ONLY 1 of all his children to get advanced education abroad. Lol. Ah Hun Manet hired over 100 individualized tutors to tutor and do homework assignment and research for his degrees. This the way of the Hun Sen clique, folks. They can't stand on their own two feet and they constantly need advisors and tutors to help them solve problems. Send these losers to America and they will all become homeless and that is the for sure!
Why don't just replace the monkey by an educated Cambodian and remove 71 advisers from there ???

In Cambodia, if you're educated, you're the threat to the government. The government does not want anyone who appears to have brain; the element of threat that they don't want.
The totalitarian regime don't need the educated person, otherwise they are an obstacle in their oppress regime.
I am 100% agree with 5:16 AM.
Advisors are mostly not paid,they only get the title for the revenue of their business.
their salaries are in fact get into Nguon Nhiel and his subordinates of administratioin.
It is a scam of ineffective administration.
Let's build the case to prosecute this bastard when time come for abusing power and stealing state money. I agree with 6:40AM above. Some money must go to this bastard directly.
Or I think this is a good case for Om Yinteang to investigate him. Can the SRP MP build the court case to complain it?
Wow, 71 advisers. One person is missing in this this number, http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100825/ap_on_re_la_am_ca/lt_drug_war_mexico_30
Does somebody mean ghost employee( http://www.google.com/search?complete=1&q=%22ghost+employee%22&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai= )? Doesn't that number too many? How's the paid money with avg. $376 per capica and per month?
As I remember at once .., Ngoun Nhil was nearly dismiised by Samdach Hun Sen........ and Nhil ran to a monk in Kampong thom to use the Margic to help him stand with this post...
Achar Knoy...
Nhil had personally stolen the Cambodia nation nearly $30,000 each month and so on so forth....
This guy prove enough to have anti-corruption of Om Yin Teing to be checked out.
Make sure Om Yin Teing is not afraid of Nhil's power...ok let see!
Cambodia is the doctrines of the Corruption and they will teach their children to be the same old path.
This man alone has 71 advisers, what is his education background? How many advisers of hun xen, heng samrinn and chea sim?
Hun Sen has about 250 advisers, Heng Samrin has about 100 and Chea Sim has about 100, Sok Anh has about 150, Sar Kheng has about 150, Tea Banh has bout 55.
There are 300 monkeys in the CPP, each monkey has 70 advisors or more.
All most 50 000 advisors.
There are more than 600 soldiers in an army battallon.
From 1970 to 1975, there were less than 300 soldiers in each Lon Nol batallon, some were 100 soldiers, how could Lon Nol win the war ? Sihanouk false ?
Corruption kills..
7:21 Lon Nol didnt do shit either. He should changed the whole Khmer gov system.
maybe needing this much advisors is a sign of true character of laziness? get more education for a change, please! that said, however, in business and gov't it is good to consult with one another in states affairs. also, be mindful of the rule of law, law, etc... again, i'm not an expert on why people do what they do! maybe it's a cultural thing as well, who knows! no excuse whatsoever!
