A complaint against Sam Rainsy Party legislator Mu Sochua had been dropped yesterday because a court would take too long to deal with it, Hor Vengnai, the Kandal province’s Kbal Koh commune chief who first filed the complaint, said.
On Wednesday, Hor Vengnai filed a complaint against Mu Sochua with the National Election Commission in response to her use of loudspeakers to disseminate voter information, which he saw as disturbing public order.
The NEC told Hor Vengnai he would have to take the complaint to court.
“I did not send the complaint to court,” Hor Vengnai said. “The court case is not easy and takes a long time, so my leaders have told me to end it.”
The complaint was a serious violation of human rights and free and fair elections, Mu Sochua told the Post yesterday. “The NEC has to stand on its own feet and be strong,” she said.
“That was a criminal complaint against me. The NEC should have responded straight away that giving voters registration information was allowed under their mandate.”
Solving disputes during the voter registration period was not within the NEC’s mandate, its secretary-general, Tep Nytha said. “Voter registration is within the competence of the local authority and the Ministry of Interior.”
The NEC had a problem-solving role only during the election campaign, Tep Nytha said.
The NEC delegated its powers to local authorities and the Interior Ministry during voter registration, Ministry of Interior spokesman Khieu Sopheak confirmed. “We act totally under the guidance of the NEC,” he said.
The NEC said in a meeting on Tuesday that the distribution of leaflets or the use of loudspeakers to spread voter-registration information must first be approved by local authorities.
The director of election watchdog Comfrel, Koul Panha, said: “The NEC should encourage and support this activity”.

Stupid ! That guy should sue Hun Sen by using TV to ask people for voting registration. Shit
Congratulation for you ,one and only bravely against the most corrupted government.Thank you for defending our nation.
what is call free speech, is interpreted by the cpp are publis disorder.
Good dog Hor Vengnai, obey your master. Dog the complaint just like if you were told to drop a bone.
She is working hard for the party but I don't think Sam Rainsy like her that much !!!!!
She has no chance to be a party leader !!!!!
SRP is running by dictator Sam Rainsy !!!!
they know cannot catch big fish. instead they catch small one today in kandal. Those stupid people if you know that srp cannot win over hun sen why don't you compete with him yourself? you also good at barking like shit.
i think they are right about her disturbing the peace! is it election time yet? if not yet, why is she disturbing people's right to a peaceful environment? election time or period is one thing, but whenn their no election, you walk around shouting and preaching in a loud microphone is called disturbing peace to the publice, you know. just like you're not allowed to blast out a music in the middle of the night, same concept, ok! don't be stupid, people! use common sense, too, ok!
Hor Vengnai what drugs have you been taking???
You are so bothered by louder speaker. Yet you allow you allow the poor and helpless farmers be evicted from their homes. All the seismic disaster happening in Cambodia such land grabbing, torture and killing of Khmer, pollution and vietcong infiltration in Tonle Sap river...don't bother you. BUt a louder speaker does. aheng nis pit jea kbarl youn kloun chkae maen!
Khmer people deserve better! and you don't make the rules. all khmers do and will.
យើងបោះឆ្នោតឱ្យលោកណា?
១- យុវជនស្រីប្រុស រាស្រ្តខ្មែរករកុះ ចុះឈ្មោះបោះឆ្នោត យើងគួរតែគិត
ចោលគំនិតឆោត ទើបគង់ដើមត្នោត ដីចម្ការស្រែ ។
២- យើងរាល់គ្នាដឹង មេសព្វថ្ងៃហ្នឹង គិតតិចយើងខ្មែរ គេគិតយួនច្រើន
ឱ្យកំណើតគេ គ្មានបោះឆ្នោតទេ ពេលគេឡើងធំ ។
៣- គេសងគុណយួន គេសងផ្ទួនៗ ពេលរាស្រ្តខ្លួនយំ យួនវាតយកដី
ទីព្រៃវាលភ្នំ ទន្លេតូចធំ ទីផ្តុំហ្វូងវៀត ។
៤- ឆ្នាំកៅសិបបី រាស្រ្តខ្មែរប្រុសស្រី ស្គាល់យល់មារយាទ បោះឱ្យស្តេចហើយ ព្រោះឆ្អែតនឹងវៀត តែស្តេចចោលម្សៀត គ្មានស្នៀតគ្រងរដ្ឋ ។
៥- ខ្លួនជាបណ្ឌិត តែបញ្ញាគិត អន់ជាងក្មេងវត្ត ខ្មែរជឿបង់ចិត្ត
ស្មើត្រូវស្តេចក្បត់! តើឱ្យប្រាកដ កំហុសនរណា?
៦- យើងឃើញកំហុស ខ្មែរអើយ! ឈប់ខុស ខ្មែរត្រូវពិចារណ៍ បោះឆ្នោតលើកនេះ ប្តូរមេរដ្ឋា ជាជនអន្ធការ ប្រហារជាតិខ្លួន ។
៧- លើកនេះមិនឈ្នះ តែត្រូវបម្រះ ទៅមុខផ្ទួនៗ រំដោះជាតិយើង
ចេញពីឈ្លើងយួន ត្រូវគិតមាំមួន បោះឱ្យលោកណា?

In order to disturb the peace, one must be at peace first.
Last I heard; your dick-tator is still oppressed the people.
Really! Ok! Etc....etc! Don't be stupid?
