A royal decree has assigned 21 officials to Cambodia National Rescue Party deputy president Kem Sokha (pictured) to advise and assist him in his role as National Assembly vice president.
Among those given positions are 14 personal advisers – of which two will rank as ministers and 12 as secretaries of state – while seven will be assigned as personal assistants.
Those named as personal advisors include Khmer Kampuchea Krom Community president Thach Setha and CNRP lawyer Choung Choungy.
Choungy said: “I’m still a lawyer to CNRP. My role as an advisor will include local politics, civil society relations and election affairs . . . We receive salary but I don’t know how much I would get from this title.”
The royal decree appointing the officials – signed by acting head of state Chea Sim - came into effect on September 8.
Ou Virak, president of the Cambodian Center for Human Rights, said he could not understand why Sokha needed 21 advisers.
He said that the CNRP and the National Assembly commission heads had a greater need for policy advice, adding that the appointments looked like patronage.
“This seems very similar to the way the [Cambodian People’s Party] operates,” he said. “I’m not very happy seeing the way politics are being played out now.”
CNRP spokesman Yim Sovann said because the advisers were appointed to the vice president personally they were not a matter for the party and he could not comment.
Sokha could not be immediately reached.

CPP gave these advisers to 1st vice president of NA because they wanted to tell Khmer peoples that CNRP are as corrupted as them. If I was Kem Sokha I would decline. Dont make mistake that FUNCINPEC made. This king is the rubber stamp for the CPP/YOUN.

Jendhamuni: Buddha said nothing is permanent. Happiness comes and goes,
so does suffering. Jendhamuni is so not interested in fame, power, or wealth, so I'm cool! ;)

To Jendhamuni:
Happiness is also coming from your heart but not from your running mouth, you’re a hypocrite.

You head will be smashed to dead, asshole.
Again, don't just mess around with neighbors and make them hate us as good Vietnamese people. We try to change our way. You need to fuck your stinky mouth and stop lying and face the truth. No one likes your fucking lying story.

Ou Virak needs to shut his f**kng mouth hole and do something else. He is not serving the interests of Cambodia and Cambodian people. He is the most stupid idiot, not well educated, but listens his Yuon wife that he cares for when these couple are bed together. Ou Virak, you need to get another job, but you are not qualified to be a spoken person or you and your Yuon wife should be happy to move and live in Hanoi, communist Vietnam, OK dumb idiot?
