PHNOM PENH — Cambodia's parliament on Wednesday started debating a controversial and long-awaited anti-corruption law, more than 15 years after the legislation was first proposed.
Cambodia is consistently ranked as one of the most corrupt countries in the world, and the government has repeatedly come under fire from international donors and activists over its apparent unwillingness to tackle the problem.
Copies of the draft law, first proposed in 1994 and approved by the government in December, were hand-delivered to all lawmakers last week.
