LOCAL election monitor Comfrel yesterday moved to defend itself against criticisms from Prime Minister Hun Sen, who said this week that the body’s most recent quarterly report on the National Assembly was biased toward the opposition Sam Rainsy Party.
During a speech to hundreds of officials at the Chaktomuk conference centre on Wednesday, the premier said the report, released in October, was misleading.
“There was an evaluation that our lawmakers did not visit their constituencies and lawmakers from the opposition party visited their constituencies more than us,” Hun Sen said. “I am sorry, you are wrong.”
Koul Panha, Comfrel’s executive director, said yesterday that the report was designed to provide an accurate and balanced assessment of the National Assembly.
