Hun Sen Lays Into Agriculture Minister for ‘Riding a Horse to See Flowers’

[geovalin]

Prime Minister Hun Sen railed against his agriculture minister on Wednesday, lambasting him for raising pork prices and for not attending a meeting with the Commerce Ministry. 

 

The prime minister was speaking at the annual meeting of the Interior Ministry, where he used expressive body language to question Agriculture Minister Veng Sakhon in person on the stage. Hun Sen’s main criticism was with Sakhon’s alleged mismanagement of pork prices and for creating a supply-side issue. 

 

He said Sakhon was “pleasing” a few local pig farmers, which was causing rising prices, and said the issue could be resolved with meat imports.   “I would like to point out that among the ministers, the minister who doesn’t cooperate with others is the agriculture minister,” he said, pointing repeatedly at Sakhon who was sitting on the dais behind Hun Sen.
