RCAF forced to declare assets

Defence Minister Tea Banh has announced that high-ranking officials in the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces will be required to submit asset declarations to the government’s Anticorruption Unit next month.

“We can’t now say how many members of the RCAF will be required to make an asset declaration, but individual military officials who were appointed by royal decree and subdecree will be required to declare their assets,” Tea Banh said at an annual military review at the Royal Cambodian Navy headquarters on Tuesday.

Under new anticorruption legislation passed in March, senior officials will be required to declare their personal assets by February 28, part of a bid to fight endemic levels of graft.


Nhem Ponharith, spokesman for the Human Rights Party, said that unofficial estimates indicate there are about 1,000 high-ranking officials in the RCAF.

“We have never received an official number of appointed generals in the Ministry of Defence,” he said.

A senior military official, who declined to be named, also put the number of colonels and generals at about 1,000.

Sar Sambath, a permanent member of the ACU, said today that the unit had increased the estimated number of senior government officials required to submit asset declarations from 100,000 to about 150,000.

“Our proceedings of asset declarations are going smoothly and our teams are working hard to ensure that the asset declaration package is managed safely and properly,” he said.

“The ACU continues to conduct workshops with government ministries about the anticorruption law.”

On Tuesday, Tea Banh also appealed to senior RCAF officials to abstain from illegal activities such as human and drug trafficking.

“The RCAF has to get away from corruption,” he said.

The comments were made after the arrests last week of Moek Dara, the former secretary general of the National Authority for Combating Drugs, and Chea Leng, former chief of the anti-drug office at the Ministry of Interior.

The pair were implicated by former Banteay Meanchey provincial police chief Hun Hean and his deputy, Chheang Sun, who were arrested earlier last week.

from Mike, I am in America, Both of my parent are Khmer, and I am a businessman. I know Mr, Chan, he represent SRP in lowel MA , he work in Metta clinic, I know Nut romdul, Kim Chea, and many more in lowell. I know next month Madam Ransy will be in lowell. you see now most people label other as Veit or traitor are absolutely not acceptable wasn't it? looke at Pictur of CPP leader being label In KI was it acceptable to you if all Newspaper in Cambodia Label Same like that, wasn't it rediculouse?, and wasn't it represent hatreat and low approach to convince people? it dummy isn't it?
Please be open mind for some feed back, it cost you nothing to get to know more about what other see and feel about What SRP had been don so far, there are more biger braind out there than you are. If SRP or CPP both are as good as angels in heaven no one will wast time to oppose their wrong doing.
I just wanted all Ideas be fair in the media, then people will base their decision on the right caurse. Please understand people learn from the failure more than from the success, and as you Know if Sam rainsy he not chang his strategy, after 2013 election SRP will be weaker than Kem sokha, I think Sam rainsy he is good in economy that is what his professional trianed for. He may start from Minister of Economy and finance if, hun sen he allow that to happen please take it.
SRP group not strong enough to run the gov't, Sam rainsy himself not qualify for it yet, for him to be able to run the Gov't as you see Same, he must start to build his leadership skill now wasn't he?.Mike

Mike is Vietnamese, living in Philly. According to his self judgment, he's very damn educated but very much an idiot at the same time. He went of law stoll(shit), I mean, law school and he owns his own business of 28 employees. Mike, is the shit, he got it going on. By the way, Mike please tell us how the hell you end up as a business man when you actually went to law stoll(shit), I mean law school. And where on earth is this law stoll(shit),at Mike?
