What happens when an NGO accuses the Khmer Rouge Tribunal of Corruption? Go on the attack of course
The "Open Society Justice Initiative" revealed last Friday that Cambodian personel have to kickback a portion of each salary to the government in exchange for their jobs. Of course this is not the first we've heard of it but it was admirable to publish what every agency thinks but does not do. Full article here.
Now the cabinet minster Sok An announced yesterday that "Open Society Justice Initiative" will no longer be welcome despite the public nature of the courts. And the tribunal's admin director Sean Visoth says the she will not cooperate them anymore because of "bad faith and bias" by the NGO. (Cambodia Daily 19/02/07)
The rumours in the capital are that the allegations are true and sure why wouldn't they be in a country that survives on kickback and/or intimidation? It is an example of the nature of the politicians here to attack when confronted with their corruption. Happens every day.
