Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Sar Kheng (pictured) has announced to allow inter-departmental debates in the Interior Ministry during a ministry's conference to report the results of the ministry's works for 2008.

On 4th March, the ministry's conference was held and participants debated each other to find ways to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the ministry's future tasks.

Mr. Sar Kheng said that the ministry had achieved good results on issues of social orders for 2008 as evidenced by the thwarting of a terrorist attack and the successful security measures put in place to protect the celebration of 7th January Day.

Mr. Sar Kheng asked the conference to evaluate the ministry yesteryear's works and encouraged the participants to freely debate each other in order to find ways to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the ministry's future works.


-----------------------------------
Khmerization's comments: Mr. Sar Kheng's announcement seems to contradict his boss', Mr. Hun Sen's, announcement of the removal of a National Congress from the constitution. While Mr. Sar Kheng wants a free debate on how to improve the works within his ministry, Mr. Hun Sen wants to remove a National Congress - a national debate forum for all citizens to discuss on how to improve the effectiveness and the efficiency of the government's perfomances. It seems that Cambodia is moving toward an autocratic and authoritarian rule by the day. This is a step backward in the democratisation process of Cambodia.
