Gov`t Overseas Trips Should be Reduced: PM

DAP-NEWS 

Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen on Monday suggested all ministers should reduce oversea trips and visits to save the national budget.
“Ministers should stop their many overseas trips and instead stay in the country more to save the budget and to help do their duty in the country,” said the premier during an inauguration ceremony at Champous Kaek Pagoda, Kean Svay District, Kandal Province. The PM plane tickets are now more expensive.
A Cambodian opposition party lawmaker cautiously backed the PM’s words.
“Missions overseas are positive for diplomatic relationships with other countries, but those ministers have oversea trips by bringing their relatives ... which destroys the nation`s budgets,” Chea Poch told DAP News Cambodia on Monday afternoon.
Chan Savet, an Adhoc investigator, said that the PM wanted help save the national budget, which is a positive step.
“All ministers should spend their own money by not using the national budget which it is to help the country, as most of them have much money,” he added.
