geovalin Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Dith Tina, Energy Ministry secretary of state and the son of Supreme Court president Dith Munty, has been put forward as the replacement for sacked Agriculture Minister Veng Sakhon. Sakhon was removed from his position by royal decree over the weekend, with Finance Minister Aun Pornmoniroth made acting minister. But Prime Minister Hun Sen also signed an official government request to the National Assembly to make Tina the new agriculture minister. Tina’s father is Supreme Court president Dith Munty, while another member of his family — Cambodia Microfinance Association vice chair Dith Nita — is married to Environment Minister Say Sam Al, the son of Senate president Say Chhum. The request, also signed on Saturday, was posted online by pro-government Fresh News on Monday. Sakhon’s removal came after public criticism from Hun Sen in February over not cooperating with other officials. read more https://vodenglish.news/supreme-justices-son-selected-for-agriculture-minister/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
