Mr.Son Chhay, an SRP MP and chair of the SRP parliamentary group, sent a written
request to the investigating judge of the military court to allow SRP MPs to
visit Mr. Cheam Channy, the SRP Member of Parliament being illegally detained in
the military prison since 5 February 2005. In
the letter Mr. Son Chhay cites article 38 of the Constitution, which stipulates
" the accused shall be considered innocent until the court has judged
finally on the case". Mr. Cheam Channy remains an elected representative of
the people with full rights stipulated in the Constitution and should enjoy the
liberty to maintain in contact with family members, friends and colleagues. It
should be noted that a similar request from SRP immediately following the arrest
of Mr. Cheam Chany on 3 February 2005 was denied. Mr.

The prime minister would have to answer for his involvement in the March 1997 grenade attack that killed up to twenty people and injured more than one hundred. The National Assembly president would have to explain in court why he awarded contract for a new NA building to the highest bidder, in lieu of the lowest, when the quality of the finished products was assured to be of similar standard; the cost of the building under the deal signed by the NA president was raised from US$13 million to US$27 million.

Letter of Sam Rainsy published in Cambodge Soir dated 14 December 2004 (translation from French) ANTI-CORRUPTION REFORMS ARE THE MAIN CHALLENGES
Last week's donor Consultative Group meeting ended with a
cut in aid to Cambodia which "sanctions the government's non-performance,
emphasizing the determination of donors to attach their assistance to efforts
made by the Phnom Penh authorities" (Cambodge Soir, 8 December 2004).
What is expected from the Cambodian government centers around a series of
fundamental reforms, especially reforms aiming at curbing corruption. In a
report titled "Cambodia at the Crossroads", the World Bank clearly spells out
these reforms. All the country's political leaders agree that it is necessary
and urgent to implement these reforms and show a determination to go ahead that
brings optimism. |

Lettre de Sam Rainsy parue dans Cambodge Soir daté 14 décembre 2004 « Les réformes anti-corruption constituent le défi majeur » La réunion du Groupe consultatif des pays donateurs la semaine dernière s’est terminée par une réduction de l’aide annoncée au Cambodge qui « vient sanctionner les mauvaises performances du gouvernement et souligne la volonté affichée par les donateurs de mieux faire dépendre leur assistance des efforts de Phnom Penh » (Cambodge Soir, 8 décembre 2004). Les efforts attendus du gouvernement cambodgien portent sur une série de réformes fondamentales, en particulier celles qui visent à réduire la corruption. Ces réformes ont été clairement formulées par la Banque mondiale dans son rapport intitulé « Le Cambodge à la croisée des chemins ». Tous les responsables politiques du pays s’accordent sur la nécessité et l’urgence d’entreprendre les réformes nécessaires et affichent une volonté d’aller de l’avant qui porte à l’optimisme. |
