New districts signed into being by PM

Prime Minister Hun Sen approved the creation of three new districts for Phnom Penh on Wednesday. Four existing districts are being divided to create the new areas, dubbed Chbar Ampov, Prek Pnov and Chroy Changva. … Phnom Penh City Hall spokesman Long Dimanche told the Post last month that they “want people close to the public services that the authorities provide. If districts are large, they can’t serve the needs of the people. So we have to separate districts to better meet their needs”. Civil society groups, however, have claimed the division is actually a waste of public resources.
