Public judicial officials are set to receive salary boosts following a bi-annual meeting, Justice Ministry spokesman Chhin Malin said yesterday. Currently, he said, the “average is about a $300 [per month] salary for prosecutors and judges . . . It will increase by between 40 to 50 per cent, coupled with some other bonuses and travel and health [allowances] to make them to live in dignity.”

“It is part of the reform and to fight and prevent corruption,” Malin said, without elaborating. “It will be introduced soon, and when it’s introduced we will know how each salary figure will increase based on rank, as the working group has been working their arms and legs off,” he said.
