Widening Capacity to Participate with International Institutions<\/strong><\/p>\n

The more competitions we are in and the more works we are involved the better. We have not made active participations in international institutions yet for instance UN, UNESCO, ADB, World Bank, etc. Our military officials have been working closely now to affiliate not only as operators but also as parts of the commanding and chief of staff positions [\u2026] especially after there was that incident that happened to the Cambodian peacekeeping troops in the Republic of Central Africa. I have made a suggestion to the UN commands in place to reorganize forces [\u2026] to amend the shortcomings.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Last week, I gave my signature to release a sum of 15 million USD to equip the Cambodian peacekeeping troops with armoured vehicles. We request the UN to finance the need but we find out that the UN is in financial difficulty. We cannot withdraw our troops (dues that shortcoming) irresponsibly. We cannot leave our troops without equipment to protect them at works too [\u2026] Samdech Pichey Sena Tia Banh will attend the UN meeting in New York with the Secretary General and countries who have involved in peacekeeping troops [\u2026] this has clearly indicated our military capability in taking parts in the world peacekeeping missions [\u2026]<\/p>\n

Military Police Head in Kratie Must Convince Son to Report Himself<\/strong><\/p>\n

A son of the head of military police in Kratie had used his gun to point at someone. The court of Kompong Cham has now summoned him. The head of Kratie military police must convince his son to report himself to the court of Kompong Cham. If you are to let your son go off on that, you will lose your rank. I would just strip your rank off. Where does the son get the gun from and has he the right to hold one? [\u2026] do not attempt to use your position to conceal your son\u2019s actions [\u2026] I also send my condolences to victims in another case shot dead while accused of being thieves [\u2026] Samdech Krola Haom Sar Kheng ordered arrests and one of them has been caught [\u2026] an armed operation must not use arms to decide the case [\u2026]<\/p>\n

Issue 1 \u2013 Authority to Distinguish Rehabilitated Political Right from None<\/strong><\/p>\n

Besides what I have to talk concerning education, I have three issues to bring to your attentions as well as to our competent authorities of every levels. Firstly, I have talked about persons who have accused Hun Sen to purchase politicians at 100,000 USD or 200,000 USD even. I said to them already that if they allow their organizations and men divided by others, it should have proven that they are incapable [\u2026] my topic today is about authority at every levels to distinguish between those politicians who have their rights rehabilitated and those who have not requested for ones. Those with rehabilitated right must be entitled to a full right to carry out his activities [\u2026]<\/p>\n

I am encouraged that many political parties \u2013 those members and non-members of the Supreme Council for Consultations and Recommendations, have registered for the Senate elections and get themselves ready for the communal elections in 2022. Let me remind you that a political party dissolved by law and political rights of 118 politicians banned for five years. We have later amended the law on political parties to allow rehabilitation of political rights prior to the five years mandated by the Supreme Court [\u2026]<\/p>\n
