National Election Committee Will Not Investigate Irregularities

Kong Sothanarith, VOA Khmer
14 August 2013

PHNOM PENH - The National Election Committee said Tuesday it will not form an investigative commission to look into irregularities in last month’s polls.

NEC Secretary-General Tep Nitha told reporters that the ruling and opposition parties had failed to agree on the formation of such a commission, making it “impossible” to investigate the widespread reports of voter fraud.

The ruling Cambodian People’s Party has said it won the July 28 elections, with 68 of 123 National Assembly seats.

The opposition Cambodia National Rescue Party has refused to accept the results of an election without an investigation into a process it says was deeply marred by irregularities.

“There is no compromise between the parties, and it’s impossible to create the commission,” Tep Nitha said Tuesday. “It’s too late to address irregularities.”

The opposition party, along with numerous observers and rights groups, says Election Day was deeply flawed, including a voter registry that either duplicated names, allowing for multiple votes, or omitted names of many voters.

Rescue Party officials say up to 1.2 million people were not given the chance to vote, and that if they had, the party would have won the election. Party officials have said they could boycott the National Assembly’s opening session, potentially halting the formation of a new government.

In negotiations over the formation of the NEC commission, the Rescue Party said it wanted UN observers present for the investigation. The ruling CPP gave “no answer” to those demands, said Yim Sovann, a spokesman for the party.

CPP, CNRP back at table


Members of the opposition and ruling parties yesterday sat down with one another for the second time since the election to discuss an investigation into irregularities; just as the Kingdom’s Constitutional Council announced the dismissal of eight of the opposition’s formal complaints. Cambodia National Rescue Party chief whip Son Chhay told reporters at a post-meeting conference that his delegation had pushed for the formation of an independent investigative body that could help the Council make a “serious” ruling on the complaints before it.

But, he said, little progress was made. “I think it is quite clear that the [Cambodian People’s Party] is in a position to cover up this fraud,” Chhay said. “They want to pass over this investigation and go on to talk about power sharing. In our position, we are not interested in power sharing at the moment. “We need to determine exactly what the people decided on the 28th of July, and then we can talk on politics,” he added, calling the ruling party’s reluctance a ploy for “buying time, hoping the people will calm down”. However, Ministry of Interior Secretary of State Prom Sokha took pains to emphasise that the current situation did not constitute political deadlock.

“We are both still hoping that our high-level politicians will finally [come to a resolution],” Sokha said, noting that post-election procedures were still moving ahead smoothly. “What is very good is that we have met and debated. If we had not met, that could be called deadlock. The political groups are still debating the law; expert groups are still working normally. I think that there is no deadlock.” Sokha went on to say that both sides could resolve the problems through a political compromise, but that such a compromise must be within the framework of the law.

 But, said Chhay, the only way to move forward – and to avoid possible mass demonstrations – is to find the truth behind the irregularities, “even if the result of the independent investigation were not going to change the result of the election”. Such an investigation, he went on, would at least serve as a mandate for real reform, and could be a pathway to a political compromise.

 “By finding the facts, it will be an important part of any future agreement. We have to use that to make the ruling party commit themselves to any reform, to any change for the better.” Earlier talks between the two parties fell through after the CNRP insisted on UN involvement, a condition shot down by the ruling party as “illegal”. The ruling party, meanwhile, had previously insisted an investigation would have to involve the National Election Committee, which has insisted it cannot join. With the parties willing to meet again, however, political analyst Kem Ley said yesterday that a political compromise might be the only solution left – as long as it included meaningful negotiations about government policy, rather than just government posts.

“They must weigh what they want they want to do in the next five years,” Ley said. “Will they look out for the old people?… How will they deal with migration? Will they get jobs for the young people?” he continued. “All [major institutions] must be reformed, and they must also separate power between [branches of government].… If they can agree on what they want to do, then I think we can have true democracy, and poverty will be reduced sharply in the next five years.

” Meanwhile, the Constitutional Council announced yesterday that it had dismissed eight of the CNRP’s complaints pertaining to alleged irregularities observed during the campaign season and on election day itself. Decisions on further complaints, council spokesman Prom Nhean Vicheth said, are still in the works. “We had examined eight complaints of the CNRP … and we found that the decision made by the NEC was in accordance with the law,” Vicheth said, adding that complaints pertaining to preliminary election results had not yet been worked out. However, Vicheth also sought yesterday to address accusations that the Constitutional Council was beholden to the ruling party, and would rubber stamp the NEC’s verdicts, saying it “did not follow the decisions made by the NEC all the time, as it was criticised for doing”. To this point, all of the CNRP’s complaints have been rejected. ADDITIONAL REPORTING BY VONG SOKHENG

Four freed, but charges stand

Four people charged with incitement for allegedly handing out cards with printed messages were released on bail yesterday, less than one week after their arrests. But charges remain for all four, who are accused of producing and distributing materials encouraging a military coup. “I was released on bail, but I remain charged,” Sok Dalis, 28, said in a brief comment to reporters after being released from Prey Sar prison yesterday afternoon. “I will speak about this later, because now I am too tired.” Tut Chan Panha, 28, who was arrested with Dalis last Thursday, would only say: “I did not do anything wrong.” The pair were arrested while picking up flowers they intended to hand out to troops posted around the city.

Police officials maintain the flowers bore cards from dissident group Khmer People Power Movement encouraging soldiers to “turn the gun barrels toward the dictator”, a claim denied by the accused and rights groups. Hy Borin, and Ly Linpheng, a printing company staffer and print shop owner, respectively, were arrested and charged in relation to printing the cards, and were also released yesterday afternoon on bail. Scores of opposition youth members appeared at Prey Sar prison to greet the group, but were snubbed by prison officials who released the four through a back entrance, causing momentary chaos when they sought to stop their vehicle. Speaking outside the prison gates, friends and family members of the accused said they were relieved the bail request had been granted but were concerned about the potential for a future re-arrest. Court officials could not be reached for comment, but if found guilty, the group could face up to two years in prison. “Now, I am happy that my son can go back to school again. But I don’t know about the charges,” Panha’s mother, Chan Setha, said. Nearby, a friend of Panha’s – blogger Keo Samdy – defended his friend’s actions, saying he had broken no laws. “In a democratic country, one has the right to fully participate in political activities – especially the youths.

 What he has done is not a political trend, but a humanitarian act.… He wants to show youthful courage to the soldiers and to the government to encourage them to find a legal solution.” CNRP lawmaker Ho Vann, who met the group at prison, called on the charges to be dropped. “I would like the court to review the charges, because they are innocent,” he said, adding that the arrests were likely carried out for their chilling effect. “They threaten to discourage the youths [from activism].” Rights monitors said there was little to suggest any of the four were guilty of the crimes. “The two youths picking up the flowers did not carry leaflets, they just fetched the flowers … to give them to the armed forces to call for peace and refrain from the use of violence against people,” senior Licadho investigator Am Sam Ath said, adding that the charges seemed similarly groundless for the printers.
