PHNOM PENH (Cambodia Herald) - PHNOM PENH (Cambodia Herald) - Two judges arrested for corruption are expected to be charged at Kandal Provincial Court on Sunday, Anti-Corruption Unit chairman Om Ying Tieng said.

"The Anti-Corruption Unit has enough evidence to charge Judges Huot Heang and Khov Chanto with taking bribes," the senior minister said. "We are processing the case in order to send them to Kandal Provincial Court."

The arrests on Friday marked the first time that judges have been arrested for corruption in Cambodia, which is often is criticized for its poor legal and corrupt judicial system.

Slowly but steadily Cambodia moves towards the right direction.Lawyers and judges are supposed to know the law and respect the law.Om Ying Tieng and his unit must work hard and should not relax until the situation really improved.I still waiting to hear what happen to the 4th year law school student who stole the car, and the prospective lawyer who raped his friend daughter and then put his friend in jail!
