Frustrated with the lack of compliance, the government has given the Kingdom’s mobile operators an ultimatum: declare their company revenue shares and settle all outstanding debts owed to the government by the end of the month or face swift and severe punitive action.

 

The announcement, released yesterday by the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications (MPT) and Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF), and signed by Prime Minister Hun Sen, states that the government is prepared to take unprecedented measures to penalise those telecoms that fail to pay their dues to MPT.

 

It said the government would start by publicly naming and shaming all delinquent operators, as well as their board directors, using various media channels.
