If the SRP and HRP MPs want to be included in the National Assembly (NatAss) committees, they only have to be “nicer” with the prime minister, Hun Sen indicated.
During a ceremony to hand out diplomas at the Royal University in Phnom Penh, Hun Sen indicated that the opposition was responsible for its NatAss powerlessness. “I am ready to accept two opposition MPs in each (NatAss) committee, but, I have no guarantee that the (CPP) MPs will vote in favor of this decision. You spend your day insulting me… Be nicer and this proposal may have a chance to pass,” Hun Sen launched.
During the first day of the regional seminar for “the role of parliament in the promotion of a peaceful society in Southeast Asia” held between 9-11 March in Phnom Penh, a sharp verbal exchange took place between CPP and SRP MPs. The incident occurred when CPP MP Chheang Vun came to talk at the podium in front of representatives from countries in the region, he then boasted his party for ending of the war and claiming “thanks to the CPP.”
Son Chhay, the SRP spokesman, was furious, he retorted by indicating that the negotiations for the rights of the opposition parties at the NatAss was also “a war that needs to be put to an end.”
