Kong Korm property seized and handed over to NEC to build its HQ
Tep Nayak
Prime
Minister Hun Sen has instructed the National Election Committee (NEC) to build
its headquarters (HQ) on the property illegally occupied and returned by the
top advisor of the Candlelight Party (CP) Kong Korm to the government.
Kong
Korm voluntarily returned his house and land a day after the Prime Minister Hun
Sen alleged that he had forged land deed to own the property originally
belonged to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation and
asked the Anti-Corruption Unit (ACU) to determine the ownership of the land.
Prime Minister Hun Sen has decided to hand over the seized land and house spread over 5,000 square metres on Sothearos Street, Tonle Bassac commune, Chamkar Morn district, to the NEC for the construction of its headquarters.
While
returning the land on January 12, Kong Korm acknowledged that the land did not
belong to him and blamed his lack of awareness about the legal procedures for
applying for a house and land for the illegal occupation of the land belonging
to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
