PM Hun Xen issued a warning to all government institutions, departments, army and police, telling them to end all corruption in the request for position change and in the illegal nomination to a position, otherwise, he will remove from their current position all the officials involved in this corruption.

During the meeting at the Council of Ministers on Friday 20 August, Hun Xen warned that he will remove government officials, soldiers and police officers who intervened for position change or for irregular nomination inside government institutions. Hun Xen’s warning came after government officials are looking for intervention so that they can replace retiring government officials and army and police officers.

Phay Siphan, the mouthpiece of the Council of Ministers, parroted to RFA on 21 Agust that Hun Xen’s measure was taken to strengthen good governance and to encourage active officials who are providing efficient work.

Phay Siphan claimed that Hun Xen will fire both the officials who are intervening for somebody else and the officials who receive their promotion from these interventions.


SRP MP Mu Sochua said on Saturday that, if Hun Xen has the real intention to eliminate the interventions for government promotions, then Hun Xen should stop signing the authorizations nominating these officials. She added that Hun Xen has the government list in his hand, therefore, he can shorten the list any time he wants.

Mrs. Mu Sochua said that, currently, the government has promoted and nominated too many government officials and army officers, and this affects the national budget. The spending cut from these officials could be used in important sectors, such as agriculture and healthcare.

Hun Xen’s warning to remove corrupt officials took place after he announced on 09 August an end to the nomination and hiring of additional employees in various government agencies because the salary spending for these officials and new hires exceed the 2009 budget.

In May, the census performed by the Council of Ministers uncovered about 2,000 ghost officials on the payroll list of 20 ministries. These ghost officials led the government to lose $2 million per year.

If Samdech Techo Hun Sen has sufficient evidence on the corrupt officers, he will oblige them to resign.

Hun Xen talks big, but does small action against corruption. All public services should have law and order.

i support mr. hun sen's stance against tradition of corruption totally. while mr. hun sen himself is now a reform-minded person as he became more and more educated about the world around him, others in cambodia were too slow to the reform process that hurt cambodia the most. hello, wake up, people. learn the analytical skill for it is demanding in cambodia and the real world out there, you know! and stop your bias against cambodia for a change, ok! there are more to cambodia than you and i, really!

Don't believe every thing this guy said. Communist leader like him loves to lie because of defaming law he created to protect him. So no one dare to say any thing about him.

Hun Sen ,what kind of a leader are you ? You give them a warning ? The country has the law and if anyone ( included you ) breaks the law they have to serve the time .

Hun Sen is not going to get rid of those corrupted goverment officials because they are the ones who gave him all the power . Without them . Hun Sen wont be there long . Thats why he just gave them a warning to show the voters that he really cares about the corruptions.

Ah New Pally , Hun Sen has adequate evidence to kick those corrupted officials , but he wont do it because he is one of them . Just look at what they have . Their salaries are less than mine but they live their lives like millionairs . You think about it if you have a brain ah New Phally .

Under democratic system, Hun sen cannot remove anyone at all even he found a person is actively corrupted. A complain from another person or an organisation with a completed evidences of corruption to the police and the police will arrest that person and the police will file the corruption crimes to the court. The court has now to excercise according with corruption law. Any word come from PM will end his job as prime Minister for abusing his own mandate.

For Hun Sen, the definition of corruption is: who are not corrupt are corrupt official.

He cannot remove the real corrupt official. Hun Sen politic is base on corruption.

Dictator Hun Xen is the big corrupt!!!!He is the corrupt in Cambodia!!!!

To New Phally/ah Kun,
You should realize that the root of corruption has taken stem from Hun Xen. Hun Xen breeds it all over. If your Hun Xen wants to eliminate some corruped officiers, he should go in front of a mirror and ask himself: Who am I? Where did I come from? And Where I'm going to? How can he punish the others without punishing himself who is the breeder of corruption? Shup up and go to hell, the dictator!

...Hun Xen a shameless and cocky Prime Minister should have stepped down a long time ago because he has failed to fulfil his promise to get rid of corruption. How can he, the corruped to the bone, get rid of corruption? And I think, ah Kun, the best way to get rid of corruption is to get rid of your Hun Xen first. What do you think about my suggestion?

Look at Hun Sen’s picture; he has one finger pointing at others, but 3 fingers pointing at him. Keep on bullshitting, you ass (___>o<___)

Wait a minute, before khmer get into the topic of corruption We khmer need to put those ex khmer rouge leaders on trial and lock them up in jail. one issue at a time. what this means is hun sen and his former khmer rouge clans will be lock up in jail for their crimes committed during the khmer rouge era. Then we can talk about corruption, how can you talk about corruption when crime against humanity has not been resolved? This is what i call the air-head prime minister.

Arak Prey , you dont know what the hell you are talking about .All those goverment officials have been appointed by Hun Sen and he can remove any of those people at anytime because they are not elected officials. Learn something boy.

4:44 AM,

I agree with you. Arak Prey knows full well that Cambodia is not a democratic country and he expects Hun Sen to follow the law and democratic rule.

Oh come on, Arak Prey, you should be smarter than that!

I agree with the person whose selfchosen nickname Areak Prey. This proves that Cambodia is democratic on paper, and Cambodian primier has not adapted to democratic principles. He still uses the communist-style language in public. An old saying "you can't teach an old dog a new trick" fits quite well in the case of Cambodia democracy. Mr. Hun Sen needs to step down for creating harrassment amongst those officials who work for the Cambodian people. Keep in mind that those cambodian official DO NOT work for Mr. Hun Sen.

6:30 AM,

Keep hoping that Hun Sen will step down.

He won't even though you want to drag him out of his office.

His cronies will shoot the shit out of you!

Democracy will never exist in Cambodia for the next 20 years!

Cambodia has no corruption, said Hun Sen before. Why now he warned to remove corruption officers?

Hun Sen killer

FUSen said...

hun sen is a khmer rouge that has killed many cambodians and he hasn't stopped killing cambodians.

he intimidates people and kills whomever he wants.

cambodia will never move ahead because of him and his other cronies he puts in charge.

he takes money from the already poor khmer citizens - the 30% living in poverty.

he is evil and i believe in karma. and karma is a bitch.
