Deputy Prime Minister Keat Chhon has failed to respond to requests made almost two months ago about the authenticity of a letter in which he allegedly urged Prime Minister Hun Sen to ban foreign NGOs from doing advocacy work in Cambodia.
The ADB told the Post that it had written to Keat Chhon on August 9 raising concerns about the content of the controversial June 17 letter recommending that two NGOs critical of the US$144 million railway rehabilitation project it and AusAID are funding be shut down.
