Prime Minister Hun Sen yesterday abruptly scrapped toll fees for National Road 4, ending a controversial 15-year contract with the politically connected business AZ Distribution Co. As of 12am today, drivers of cars, trucks and buses no longer need to pay at any of the four toll booths along the 210-kilometre Phnom Penh to Sihanoukville highway, the premier announced at a National Assembly plenary session yesterday.

“Even though this decision has not been signed, as the head of the royal government, I can declare beforehand that the government will cancel the contract over the problems with National Road 4,” Hun Sen said. “I hope that cancellation of the contract and retaking control of the road will mean there will be no fees for cars travelling along this highway.”
