Cambodian PM vows to adopt anti-corruption law soon
Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen on Tuesday told donor countries that his government has always taken concrete measures to fight corruption and will adopt anti-corruption law soon.
"We have always battled with corruption and the government is determined to adopt anti-corruption law as soon as possible," he told more than 100 representatives of donor countries and NGOs and top governmental officials at the two-day First Cambodian Development Cooperation Forum (CDCF).
The government is clearly aware that corruption is cancer and very dangerous for the society, so we have to fight it with real actions, he said.
The government submitted the anti-corruption draft law to the National Assembly for approval later than expected, because it was involved with some other laws and the government had to prepare them with more time, he said.
"Even we don't have anti-corruption law yet, we take strict actions to fight corrupt officials," he said, adding that the government has already established its committee to handle anti- corruption work.
Recently, he said, seven government officials were punished over illegal logging, two arrested and put into jail for seizing private properties, one accused of conspiracy in state land grabbing and destroying forestry, one another accused of destroying natural resources and ruining environment, and 11 others jailed over cutting forestry illegally in Ratanakiri province.
In recent days, NGOs have released allegations of corruption by the government in order to provide tools for the deputies of 18 donor countries and five NGOs at CDCF to press for anti-corruption efforts and contain donations.
Official statistics showed that international donors pledged 601 million U.S. dollars in aid to Cambodia in 2006.
