Cambodian PM urged to attend parliament29/01/2008
Australian Broadcasting CorporationA Parliamentary committee in Cambodia has requested Prime Minister Hun Sen to attend parliament to answer questions directly. Mr. Son Chhay a member of the parliament from the opposition party and who is also the chair of the 5th Committee of the parliament has submitted the written request to the Prime Minister.The letter calls for answers on issues including the implementation of the four-angle economic policies, revenue collection from Angkor Wat, land disputes, corruption and human rights.Hun Sen hasn’t been to Parliament during question time during the third term of government which is due to expire soon.The constitution and parliamentary internal regulations, stipulate that the Prime Minister is supposed to attend question time every Thursday morning.A senior advisor to the PM comments says the request is ridiculous and queries the motives behind it.
