Cambodia's National Assembly began debating the long-awaited anti-corruption law on Wednesday.
Of the 123-member National Assembly, 101 deputies attended the debate.
Parliamentarians from opposition Sam Rainsy Party have proposed to delay the debate, saying the draft has arrived in their hands late, fearing they do not have enough time to study.
However, they gave support for anti-corruption law saying it will help reduce corruption.
The law was first proposed 15 years ago, but the final draft was made available last week after it was seriously scrutinized by concerning ministries.
