Hun Sen, 24 SeptemberCambodge Soir
25-09-2008
During the second parliamentary session, at which the SRP and HRP were absent, the Prime Minister spoke ironically about the attitude of Sam Rainsy and Kem Sokha.
The twenty six deputies of the Sam Rainsy Party (SRP) remained absent on Thursday 25 September, during the second day of the new Parliament, as well as the three elected representatives of the Human Rights Party. The 90 elected representatives of the CPP, the 2 representatives of Funcinpec and the 2 from the Norodom Ranariddh Party have unanimously appointed the leaders of the Assembly and the leader of the Government.It’s without surprise that Hun Sen kept his position as Prime Minister and Heng Samrin his position as President of the National Assembly. The latter will receive the assistance of two Vice-Presidents, Ngoun Nhel and Say Chhum, General Secretary of the CPP.
Afterwards the Government leader held a speech in the large Assembly Hall. After having expressed his gratitude towards the deputies for their trust, he declared his determination to apply the main outlines of his program in order to speed up the country’s development. Next, he brought up the subject of the opposition’s attitude, speaking ironically about the presence of Sam Rainsy and his deputies at the opening session, pointing out that this decision might put the SRP leader in a delicate situation in front of his colleagues.
“This morning, Sam Rainsy asked me to show understanding, declared the Prime Minister. As a politician I’m totally aware of what’s happening within the ranks of his party. It would have been difficult for Sam Rainsy to show up today in order to support the government.”
However, Hun Sen believes that the SRP leader is sole responsible for his problems. “He is victim of his own policy; I hope that this will teach a lesson to all the politicians of this country”.
The Prime Minister has also uttered some accusations towards the Human Rights Party, the only party which was absent during the opening session on Thursday 24 September. “Kem Sokha asked me lots of advice at the start. Then he followed Sam Rainsy. Finally he didn’t know which position to take when he saw the SRP deputies seated in the hemicycle.”
According to Hun Sen, the HRP should, like any other party, adopt a policy of independence in order to avoid being cornered by its allies.
The HRP elected representatives will be able to take the oath after the Pchum Ben festival, as well as the CPP deputies who should join the Assembly, replacing the members of parliament appointed to the government, said the Prime Minister.
