Sihanoukville gov to retire

The provincial governor of Preah Sihanouk is set to retire from his post at the end of this month, bringing yet another leadership change to the seaside province.

Chhit Sokhon, promoted to the position in May last year, will step down after his 60th birthday at the end of August, Ministry of Interior Secretary of State Sak Setha said yesterday.

“Chhit Sokhon is going to retire at the end of this month [August], because he reaches 60 years old, the age that public civil servants get retirement,” Setha said.

Setha said no replacement had been found, despite rumours Koh Kong Military Commander Brigadier General Yun Min could step into the role.
