Sar Kheng Invites CNRP to Talk, Says Preconditions Won’t Be Met


By Simon Henderson and Hul Reaksmey
The Phnom Penh Post, November 25, 2013 

In his closing address at a two-day National Election Committee (NEC) conference in Preah Sihanouk province on Sunday, Interior Minister Sar Kheng told the opposition CNRP to end its boycott of the National Assembly, but emphasized that neither an independent investigation into July’s disputed election nor a reshuffling of the NEC would be forthcoming.

The CNRP’s 55 elected lawmakers are boycotting the National Assembly as they continue to insist on an independent investigation and reform of the NEC as preconditions to taking their seats, leaving the CPP’s 68 lawmakers to sit alone in government.
The CNRP’s election complaints had already been dealt with “within a very reasonable timeframe” of 60 days in accordance with the electoral law, and the NEC’s investigation into voting irregularities had revealed nothing more sinister than technical glitches, Mr. Kheng told the assembled gathering of lawmakers, NEC officials and NGO representatives.

“From international experience there has never been a perfect election [and] every country encounters some technical shortcomings, [but] technical shortcomings and serious election irregularities are not the same thing,” Mr. Kheng said.

Mr. Kheng also said that the opposition party’s decision to boycott parliament left the government with no choice but to govern alone for the sake of stability.

“It is regrettable that elected candidates of [the] CNRP boycotted the first sitting of the National Assembly…[which] has elected parliamentarians from two political parties as expressed by the will of the people,” he said.

Mr. Kheng also invited the CNRP to engage in further negotiations.
“The CNRP has set conditions to request members of the NEC to resign from their positions to pave the way for electoral reform in the future,” he said, adding that such a request violates the election law as only the National Assembly can expel NEC members.

NEC Secretary-General Tep Nytha said that the goal of the conference was to review the strengths and weaknesses of the NEC’s election and post-election performance. However, he said that the CNRP’s demand for resignations would not be met.

“We have never closed the door to recommendations, but [the CNRP] can’t order an institution formed by the law to do whatever they want,” he said.

CNRP spokesman Yim Sovann said the opposition was not asking that the National Assembly get rid of NEC members, but simply that members take responsibility for their election failures by resigning of their own volition.

“Anywhere in the world, if people in these positions of authority make serious mistakes they will resign,” he said, adding that the CNRP had been invited to the conference but had stayed away.

“This is a failed institution. They have proved they can’t do their job and the composition [of the NEC] must be reformed at all costs,” he said.

CNRP doesn't ask for closing the institution NEC , but CNRP demands for those committed to distort the election result to pave a way for a fresh committee for its institution. It's action has impeded free and fair election and it has failed to serve ordinary Cambodians.

If the RGC truly wish to reform, it should NOlonger protect the crime committed by this body. Also this should be open to scrutiny of other independent organisations, to clear its reputation.

It was recommended for reform by the UN, not for the UN but for the spirit of justice for Cambodians.

To move forward, RGC should be more open minded to a true reform, and it should abolish corruption which has led to suffering of Cambdians but enriching their corrupted peers.

People who corrupt are those only short sighted , for the sake of national interest.

Just hope change will happen.

NO NEED to negotiate with Vietnamese puppet or Vietnamese slave, what we can do, just all Cambodian must stand up together and overthrow HUN SEN from the power, and also must use mass chemical destruction sending to HUN SEN compound or HUN SEN supporters.

No, no more negotiation with HUN/NEC/CPP because they all are VC in control. Hun Sen and his mafia gov't must go and it has to be now. No more talk to the crooks, end of a story. There is no law in Cambodia, because their law is to protect them crooks only, e.g perpetrators gotten away, while innocents been punished e.g land grabbing, illegal leasing Angkho Wat, Mth Bokor, number of other islands to VC (Sok Kong), land concession to VC and Chinese to build Hydro-dams for 99 years without people's consent, while owners of the land are being convicted. This gov't is not being independent, it is being controlled by foreigners like the Viets and Chinese. Hun Sen called 'Hai Phuc' once said ' the truth is, I am a Viet's puppet and nobody wants to lose their land or sea but because we are under their controlled'.

Therefore, Cambodia is under sieged and is in need of being rescued and only way to do that is to stand up to fight for what is rightfully ours, e.g our country, our land, and sea. Because Cambodia belongs to all Cambodians, not a bunch of mafia group like the VC nor the Chinese. So, there is no need to negotiate with such a criminal kind of people. We are the owners of the land and sea and we don't need to talk to this gangster of the CPP.

The truth is, if we look into the past we will see the future, e,g in the past they used the word negotiation with Funcipic but look at Funcipic now, gone, dead!. They finally framed him and defamed him in everyway they could, just like Kingta said 'I have helped them in everyway i could, but they still criticised me, they are expansionists and they are like crocodiles'.

They promised to give Khmer Krom territory back to Srok Khmer if he help them to decolonise the Westerners, but not!. On top of that they have helped to kill all most all of our people from being existed. Their evil tactics and tricks are plentiful. e.g During world war 2, they lied to US troops to cease fire but not!, instead they used whores to help in the killing of US troops known as the 'Tet' Attack, that is, the new years eve attack and the total been killed up to 58 000 troops. Nevertheless, they never won the war anyway, because they were cheated to win.

Now, is another tactic being used by this VC group with the CPP group. But, we are now so familiar with all of their evil tactics and no! we don't need to listen or negtiate with them anymore, because enough is enough, really. It is time for international community to bring all chemical or biological weapons to wipe them all out of the world map for good or else, thats it! because they are expansionists and they won't stop unless you stop them first. If not, every other nation will go through the same fate as ours e.g Laos, Chompa, Khmer Krom, Koh Tral and now, the whole Srok khmer.Thailand will be next and is already happening between the red and yellow shirts (killing two birds with one stone).

La technique de négociation est arme de cpp pour casser, et de retarder cnrp de prendre le pouvoir.
Cpp n a plus d autre moyen pour continuer de survivre, donc la tactique pour décourager les populations qu ils soutiennent cnrp, c est la négociation.

C’est plus tôt CNRP qui est incapable et qui a laissé traîner par CPP.

ce n'est pas la manifestation à la manière d'un carnaval tous les Week-end pour revendiquer ?


La manifestation 3 jours puis une pause de 2 semaines !

c’est la faute de CPP ou CNRP ?

C'est nous qui faisons perdre le temps et user nos partisans.


C’est la tactique de l’adversaire CPP
ou
ce sont les faux pas de CNRP ?

C’est nous même qui devons mener notre temps. Ce n’est pas le parti adverse qui nous impose.

Ce n’est pas accusé l’adversaire pour gommer sa propre défaite !


This is earlier CNRP is unable and left hanging by CPP.

this is not the event in the manner of a carnival all weekend to claim?


The event 3 days then a 2 week break!

  it is the fault of CPP or CNRP ?

It is we who lose time and use our fans.


This is the tactic of the opponent CPP
  or
  CNRP we are missteps?

It is ourselves who must lead our time. This is not the opposing party which compels us.

This is not accused opponent to erase his own defeat!

I support more stronger demonstrations to demand Hun Sen to resign. Specific action need to be done… even it means Hun Sen policemen will shoot protesters. Some may have to die for freedom and motherland free from Vietnamese control. Cambodians have to take strong stand in their demand. I don't see any other way the CPP dogs will do anything for the betterment of our motherland; besides putting Cambodia at disadvantage little by little further down the road to the nation of Vietnamese control and gypsies. The time to do it is now. We don't need to wait and waste of our time. Keep it short; just get the mother fucker out!!!
