Police Chiefs Told to Stop Taking Wages
The National Police commissioner has ordered police chiefs to stop taking money from law enforcement officials’ salaries for apparent good causes. A statement signed by General Neth Savoeun, dated August 22 but obtained Thursday, said police chiefs at all levels must cease the practice, which takes money away from poorly paid low-level police. “All departments, units and provincial commissariats have to review and stop immediately cutting the salaries of subordinate officials to help social work or humanitarian work,” the letter says. … In a separate move, seen as a reaction to the CNRP’s election pledge to raise civil servants’ salaries to $250 a month, the Finance Ministry said August 7 it would raise the lowest-paid civil servants’ wages by at least 30 percent, to about $78 per month.
