Prime Minister Hun Sen blasted the opposition's proposal to put the national army under the control of the king in place of the current arrangement where all troops are under the tight control of the ruling Cambodian People's Party, reports Kampuchea Thmey.
On 6th March, Son Chhay, MP from the opposition Sam Rainsy Party, floated the idea that the king should be given full control of the army to make the army truly neutral.
Speaking to disabled veterans in Ta Ken Koh Sla commune in Chhouk district of Kampot province on 8th March, Prime Minister Hun Sen blasted such suggestion as ignorant of the role of the king under the constitution.
