PHNOM PENH, Feb. 17 (Xinhua) -- Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen has reiterated his commitment to passing a law regulating NGOs(non-governmental organization), national media reported on Tuesday.
Cambodia has become "the heaven of NGOs" and the government will move forward with the law whether NGOs like it or not, English-Khmer language newspaper the Cambodia Daily quoted him as telling an economic conference in Siem Reap on Monday.
"NGOs want the government to be transparent, but is NGO itself transparent? Where do you get the funding? Where do you spend it?" he asked.
The new NGO law is currently debated and expected to be passed by the National Assembly soon. Local media said that it will have more registration and supervision requirements.
Cambodia has around 2,000 NGOs working in various fields to facilitate social works and country development.
