Phnom Penh - Staff at Cambodia's newly-formed anti-corruption unit will have to take an annual lie detector test to ensure their integrity, national media reported Tuesday.

Om Yentieng, the unit's chairman, told a workshop in Phnom Penh the polygraph test was one of a range of measures that would be used to ensure officials remained squeaky clean.

'All investigation officials will be supervised by a small unit that will monitor them to make sure they are not corrupted,' Om Yentieng said, according to the Cambodia Daily newspaper.

'The polygraph machine will question whether they are lying or not,' he said, adding that staff would also need to disclose with whom they ate lunch and dinner.
