A source indicated the Kem Sokha’s fledgling Human Rights Party (HRP) is heading towards a lack of funds during mid-course. An anonymous source from the SRP told a local newspaper that the HRP is facing financial problems because those who promised to fund the party from overseas, did not provide the funds, but that they only made the verbal promises. The same source indicated that if this party still continues to face financial problems like right now, it is tantamount to car with a flat tire along the road. However, Pen Sovann, first HRP vice-president, rejected the information about his party lacking funds. Pen Sovann said that his HRP has a well defined goal, and its finance cannot be easily bankrupt during mid-course as claimed. Pen Sovann added that the criticisms leveled against the HRP, which is progressing better than any other parties, were done because others want to attack his party for their own gain.
