Tea Banh’s Sons Given Top Gov’t Jobs Khmer Times/May Titthara | Monday, 02 May 2016 [image: http://www.khmertimeskh.com/files/news/24491/1462212926.jpg] Defense Minister Tea Banh appointed two of his sons as assistants within his administration in March. Supplied As the government fends off continued accusations of nepotism within its institutions, a royal decree issued in early March revealed the appointment of four official assistants to four-star general and deputy prime minister Tea Banh, two of whom are the general’s own sons. The decree, issued on March 11, appointed four assistants to the positions of general director, in addition to their actual title. Among the new appointments were General Banh’s sons, Tea Seiha and Tea Soyia Chay, who were promoted to the roles of general director and department president respectively. General Seiha is already a high ranking officer in the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces (RCAF), a member of the Cambodian People’s Party central committee and president of the Federation of Youth in Siem Reap province. General Chay, meanwhile, is also a high ranking RCAF officer as well as the chief of staff of the military attaché to Cambodia’s embassy in Thailand. Last month King Norodom Sihamoni signed a similar decree appointing 18 high-ranking officials to the Anti-Corruption Unit (ACU), two of whom were revealed to be ACU president Om Yentieng’s sons – Yentieng Puthira and Yentieng Puthyrith, despite vowing in 2014 to crush nepotism within the government. San Chey, president of the Affiliated Network for Social Accountability, said these appointments were yet another blatant example of governmental positions being appointed through family ties as opposed to merit, and doing so could undermine the efficiency of the government’s performance. “The consequence of nepotism could affect efficiency and the functioning in those institutions. It could also affect other areas because officials don’t want to take a chance to express their opinion concerning children of the high ranking government officials,” he said. Despite several government directives stating that the deputy prime minister is only allowed to have a maximum of four assistants, the new appointments have increased General Banh’s number of assistants to seven. -- Best Regards, *Khmer Forum* *A place for sharing community events and public news.* -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cambodia Discussion (CAMDISC) - www.cambodia.org" group.
