If my salary is taken without my agreement, it is a violation of my rights” - Mu Sochua
PHNOM Penh Municipal Court has informed opposition lawmaker Mu Sochua that the National Assembly has been authorised to dock her salary for two months in order to pay 8 million riels (US$1,904) in compensation to Prime Minister Hun Sen.

In an order sent to the Sam Rainsy Party parliamentarian Tuesday, Judge Chea Sok Heang said that the Assembly’s Finance and Banking Commission would be responsible for redirecting the funds to Hun Sen’s lawyers.

“The court decides to seize Mu Sochua’s salary ... of 4,204,899 riels ($1,001) per month until [the amount is] completely paid to Ky Tech, Prime Minister Hun Sen’s lawyer, as the creditor requested,” the letter said.
