PHNOM PENH, Oct 18 (Reuters) - The Cambodian government has drawn up a $2.4 billion budget for 2011, 17 percent higher than this year's, and some of the extra money will go towards a 20 percent pay rise for civil servants and the military, officials said on Monday.
Prime Minister Hun Sen said the increase in the budget would go mainly to the education and health sectors, and to fund the pay rise.
Phay Siphan, secretary of state at the Council of Ministers, told Reuters that details would be published when the budget goes to parliament for approval this week.
