Hun Sen Urges Curbing of Inflation
By Chiep Mony, VOA Khmer
Original report from Phnom Penh
30 May 2008
Prime Minister Hun Sen on Thursday called for his government officials
to work to curb inflation that has seen the price of goods increasing
daily.
The price of rice has reached 3,800 riel per kilogram and fuel 5,600
riel per liter at some stations, biting into the low salaries of many
workers.
“I would like to appeal to all institutions of the government to try
their best to carry out the measures being taken out in order to curb
inflation,” Hun Sen said, speaking at a national conference on
livelihood improvement.
The government has been facing inflation since mid-2007, he said.
Opposition leader Sam Rainsy said Thursday Hun Sen must reign in
corruption if he wants to see inflation decrease.
