Phnom Penh - The Cambodian government said Monday that the United Nations office in Cambodia had overstepped its mandate by speaking out on the process under which the country's long-delayed anti-corruption law was recently put to parliament.
The comments from the foreign ministry followed a weekend letter by Foreign Minister Hor Namhong to the UN resident coordinator Douglas Broderick, threatening to expel him from Cambodia.
"The unwarranted comments made by you in connection with the adoption of Cambodia's Anti-Corruption Law [are] a flagrant and unacceptable interference in the internal affairs of Cambodia," the minister wrote.
"Any further repetition of such behaviour would compel the Royal Government of Cambodia to resort to a 'persona non grata' decision," Hor Namhong concluded.
