CNRP deputy leader Kem Sokha has been instructed by the National Assembly to respond to allegations of infidelity, while the Anti-Corruption Unit says it will decide today if it has a graft case against the opposition lawmaker based on leaked audio recordings purportedly of Sokha agreeing to invest in land and a business for a mistress.

In response to a complaint filed to the National Assembly on March 14 by a group of students that have been hounding Sokha to respond to the affair allegations, Leng Peng Long, secretary-general of the assembly, wrote a letter to the opposition lawmaker yesterday requesting that he address the students' concerns.

“Please [excellency], look into it and consider clarifying the request as soon as possible,” the letter reads. Contacted yesterday, Peng Long reiterated that the assembly wants him to respond “as soon as possible”, but there would be no action taken if he did not.
