“If it’s an internal dispute or twisting within the internal party, we could see this as a beginning of a fracture.”
The recent corruption arrests of four policemen within the ruling Cambodian People’s Party have raised questions of whether there is friction within the party or whether the new Anti-Corruption Unit is flexing new muscles.
The police officials, who were arrested for corruption in connection with drug trafficking, were arrested in recent weeks following an investigation by the ACU, which is headed by a senior adviser to Prime Minister Hun Sen, Om Yentieng.
Kem Sokha, president of the Human Rights Party, a minority opposition, said time will tell.
“If it’s an internal dispute or twisting within the internal party, we could see this as a beginning of a fracture,” he said. On the other hand, if it is the “true will” of the government, it’s a “good matter” for Cambodians, he said.
Those arrested were Moek Dara, former secretary-general of the National Authority for Combating Drugs; Hun Hean, former police chief of Banteay Meanchey province; his deputy, Chheang Son; and Chea Leang, an official in the Ministry of Interior’s anti-drug office.
Moek Dara is a former police chief of Battambang province, a political stronghold of Interior Minister Sar Kheng. Hun Hean was once Sar Kheng’s chief bodyguard.
In a ceremony in Prey Veng province, Sar Kheng denied the arrests had targeted anyone by affiliation.
“I think everyone must follow the law and respect the law in fulfilling their duty,” said Sar Kheng. “If anyone commits wrongdoing, that person must face legal action.”
However, Chan Saveth, chief investigator for the rights group Adhoc, said the arrests did follow officials promoted through a political channel. He cautioned against the ACU “bringing the political process” into investigation of “to show off to the public.”

Hi Mike, in Cambodia not many people use internet because they are low educated and poor. and most people who use internet are educated people. Most people who use internet and KI blog are supporters of Sam Rainsy or they like Sam Rainsy. But most people voted for Hoon Xen, then most people who voted for Hoon Xen are stupid, low education. So most of CPP supporters and members including you are idiot, fool and stupid like their boss, Hoon. So if Sam Rainsy leads the country it must be better than Hoon.
Mike, you can see now that only CPP members are robbers, killers, human and drug traffickers. So who should be arrested? = the boss of these robbers, human and drug traffickers.....

Om Yentieng was quoted in a press conference by DAP saying that Moek Dara wanted to die. Hopefully they won't kill him and saying that he suicide.
We do not need to wait to see it is obvious that the ruling party is exercising it's muscle using this new way to intimidate and clean out any one not shown respect to it's obsolute power, more to come...

Anti-corruption Units might favor the CCP governemnt. They will arrested anyone who's they think is against on not infavor of the CCP. kinda like communist Unit. mostly accused someone of or supicious of agaist the government.
When you have a PM that is so paranoia, his people will go after anyone whom they suspected of opposing them. The culture of fear will once again setting in. Is that the society most of you wish to return to? Living in fear? What you need is a true balance of power, a bi-partisan commission, an office of the legal prosecutors that can even prosecute the PM if he is deemed unlawful. Without that, you and your families, businesses, are at the prey of his entourage. You just hope that it won't happen to you, so were plenty of people, including those generals. Good luck.
What was viet cong tactic during khmer rouge era.When you do bad deed to your owned people you are promoted.And if you killed your owned people without remorse you got promoted and became vary important people also well protected any where you go.when your time come.They killed you.And they tell all khmers people everywhere what you are bad.Just like high position level in CPP government who was arrested recently.They knew this happen long time ago.Still they promoted you to became GENERAL OR STARS.And now you became the enemy of your owned people.And your position will be replaced with my owned VIETNAMESE BLOOD.It's about time to change.
