According to the 24th February 2009 edition of Khmer Nation News, which had quoted unofficial sources, a group of powerful Cambodian People’s Party officials and businessmen were not happy with Gen. Ke Kimyan because he had used his position as Commander-in-Chief of the army to protect many plots of high-priced lands linked to those officials and businessmen who are very close to Prime Minister Hun Sen.
The paper then said that, those angry officials and businessmen had gathered and compiled all the documents related to Gen. Ke Kimyan’s business dealings and presented them to Mr. Hun Sen. They are angry that Gen. Ke Kimyan had gotten in the way of their businesses.
The paper added that, after all the relevant documents were gathered and compiled, they then raised $80 million and then bribed Mr. Hun Sen to sack Gen. Ke Kimyan.
Khmerization has not been able to confirm The Khmer Nation’s claims nor has Khmerization any evidence to prove that Prime Minister Hun Sen had indeed been bribed with $80 million.
