Senate Passes Budget Amid Opposition Boycott


[ 1 + 1 = -1 ]

By Hul Reaksmey, The Cambodia Daily
November 22, 2013 

The CPP-dominated Senate on Thursday unanimously approved the government’s $3.4-billion draft budget for 2014 despite a boycott by the opposition SRP senators and a $1.53-billion portion of the budget left for Prime Minister Hun Sen to spend as he sees fit.

The SRP boycotted the four-hour session in protest over July’s national election, which it accuses the CPP of winning fraudulently. With only 11 of the Senate’s 61 seats, however, the SRP senators could do nothing to stop the spending bill from sailing through.
“The Senate meeting reviewed and agreed completely with the entire draft law without change with 40 votes,” the Senate said in a statement issued after the session.

CPP senator Um Sarith said eight fellow party members—including Senate President Chea Sim—and two appointees from the Royal Palace were absent.

The National Assembly, likewise dominated by the ruling CPP and facing a boycott by the opposition party, unanimously approved the budget last week.

CPP spokesman Cheam Yeap, who also chairs the Assembly’s finance committee, said the draft would now head back to National Assembly President Heng Samrin, who will then write to King Norodom Sihamoni to sign it into law.

Ahead of Thursday’s vote, the Finance Ministry issued a statement attempting to clarify how a reportedly unallocated $1.53 billion in the budget would be spent. The statement offered few details and said that $865 million would be spent on unspecified “ministries and institutions.”

Mr. Yeap on Thursday said the prime minister would have the final say on how that money, about 45 percent of the entire budget, would be spent and depended largely on evolving needs.

“We don’t know yet what the money will be spent on because it’s reserve money that the prime minister has the jurisdiction to spend,” he said. “The money will be spent during natural disasters or wars and on the ministries that need it.”

The opposition has rebuked the government for not offering more details about how the money will be spent.

SRP lawmakers who boycotted Thursday’s Senate meeting could not be reached for comment.

The Senate on Thursday also approved a bill that split the Ministry of Industry, Mines and Energy into the Ministry of Industry and Handicrafts and the Ministry of Mines and Energy and another bill to create the Ministry of Public Function.

Such an Illegal gov't. In the West, PM's job to work to advocate for our country and nation in term of social security. Nothing to do with financial institution or is allow to access million of $. It is the Minister of Finance of reserve bank (National Bank) is responsible to access and is the one who sign of their funding for every other community sector including handling all Federal wage or salary including the PM's salary e,g Hun Sen wage of $4000 a month, times by 12 months equal to $48 000pa. Hun Sen needs to report if he gets any other donated goods or funding etc.

PM is not allowed to access to any money in the reserve bank without audit e,g what for? give draft for the spending on what project etc. He can not use for his personal purpose whatsoever. Financial minister is the one who is responsible for the report of spending and reimbusment etc. but with receipt and written report on what. PM must stay away from national budget and is not his job to touch it. His job is to work to recieve salary like everyone else.

Dear compatriots,

During this crucial time in our history, we should understand and accept most of the precautious measures taken by the CNRP's leaders after the election.

The task to remove the election’s loser CPP and Hun Sen from power requires patience, perseverance, flexibility, and great determination.

So, please be patient !!

The December 10th demonstration must be centered only on the election's loser CPP and Hun Sen to concede their defeat or accept the formation of an independent committee to investigate the election's irregularities or opt to have a new election.

So far, this Yuon slave illegal government of Hun Sen has been playing dumb by acting like it is the winner of the election and ignoring all local and international critics.

The loser CPP must go !!

Khmer people have voted you (Hun Sen) out !!

The CPP's time is up !!

Best wishes and good luck to the CNRP and its leaders for their noble efforts to save Cambodia from the traitorous CPP’s government and its evil master Vietnam.

Hun Sen is splitting ministries & Provinces to create more jobs for CNRP 's elected lawmakers & activists who are hungry ,
greedy & want to defect for high ranking positions . For sure ,
part of the national budget will go to CPP campaign to destroy
CNRP .

That is the incompetence and unsuspecting king who is cooperated with the CPP (Viet's slave). His name will be inscript in the last Khmer history as a traitorous king in 21th after Chhey Chetha II(1623).

Heh Ah ach Kwek! you should get rid of the monarchy in Cambodia, work out your plan with ah 'Chker Chav Why Youn', and after that you don't have to bow your head to anyone in Cambodia, except once for a while you have to low your head down to the floor for ah Chker youn to clean his feet. This one would be O.K because you got used to do that over the past 30 years. After a little wile more, your Hun's dynasty will be thriving and prospering much and much more than Jaya Voraman VII. Heh another bright idea just pops up, if you don't want to be seen as shameful by bowing your head down to the floor for ah Chker youn, your boss to clean his foot, you can make a very secret arrangement to fly to Hanoi to meet your boss there,so his boss could perform his cleaning routine by wiping his feet with your head there. By this kind of arrangement you could go there quite often to please your boss and also to renew your boss's commitment. Oh! By the way how about the other two ' Sam Douch Ach ', ah Cattle Thief aka' Raeb Dob Min Kroob' and Ah 'Dead Walking Body' aka Dragula, thess two have to go there too for your boss cleaning feet ceremonial, ah Heng Samre for your boss left foot and Ah Chea Sam Oy for your boss right foot. Therefore, the schedule arrangement to go to Hanoi for your boss cleaning feet routine could be worked out between the three of you.

Dear Kdamjor,

I never delete anyone's comments since I came to KI. But why do you have to swear? Can you speak human language like many of us. I have nothing against you even if you do not like me.

Some of you here argued like a little kid.
Respect is a two way street. Treat other with respect and in return you will earn their respect.
My advice is; if you ignored the poster that offended you, more than likely he/she will move on.
Like a fire, if you don't add any woods...it will eventually burn out.
Please keep the disrespect to yourself and share your respect with the rest of us here on KI.
After all, we are all Khmer, are we not?
