The National Assembly will today suspend an opposition Sam Rainsy Party member’s parliamentary immunity on the basis of conducting “necessary questioning”, government officials said yesterday.
Cheam Yeap, senior lawmaker of the ruling Cambodian People’s Party, told the Post the assembly would suspend Kandal province SRP lawmaker Chan Cheng’s immunity at the request of a court.
“Kandal provincial court has requested . . . to lift Excellency Chan Cheng’s immunity from Sam Rainsy Party in order for him to respond to questioning regarding a criminal complaint against him,” Cheam Yeap said.
