The Cambodia Government has approved a sub-decree to eliminate the old Railway Unit in favor of a new Railway Department as part of the development of Cambodia’s railways.
According the sub-decree, obtained October 16 and issued on October 1, the Railway Unit, a public institution, will be officially closed on November 15.
The Government approved the creation of a Railway Department controlled by the Ministry of Tran-sportation and Public Works.
It is unclear if former Sokhum Sokhavorn Mony, director-general of the Railway Unit, will be the director of the Railway Department.
“I don’t know who will be a new director of this department,” Touch Chankosal, secretary of state for the Ministry, told DAP News Cambodia on Friday, referring questions to the minister. But Tram Eav Teouk acco- mpanied Cambodia Prime Minister Hun Sen to China on Thursday. “The approval to eliminate the Railway Unit includes eliminating the council group, direct-general and all officials from November 15, 2009,” the sub-decree added.
A private company from Australia holds full authority to invest in the railway department in Cambodia, one source told DAP News Cambodia.
