Prime Minister Hun Sen has appointed his personal adviser Kong Vibol as director general of the General Department of Taxation at the Ministry of Econ­­omics and Finance, ac­­cording to the Royal Book en­­try of August 22.

In addition to his expertise in taxation, Vibol is also secretary of state at the ministry and vice-chair­­man of the Council for Devel­op­­ment of Cambodia.

The Roy­­­al Book entry also lists three other senior officials who were upped to the same title of under-secretary of state at the Ministry of Economics and Finance including Sar Theng, the former head of anti-smug­gling at General Department of Customs.

Following the silent departure from Funcinpec of several party officials, it was learnt that another Funcinpec high-ranking official has left the party to join the CPP. Nouv Sovathero, Funcinpec spokesman, told The Cambodia Daily that Kong Vibol, the (Funcinpec) secretary of state at the Ministry of Economy and Finance, left Funcinpec to join the CPP already. Nouv Sovathero said that Kong Vibol is no longer a Funcinpec party member because he is working for the CPP. On Saturday, Kong Vibol was seen appearing on the Bayon TV station (owned by Hun Sen’s daughter) when he visited and distributed gifts to CPP supporters in Kien Svay district, Kandal province. He was accompanied by Mok Chito, the director of the penal police department of the Ministry of Interior and a CPP party member.
