An official from the Ministry of Interior said yesterday that Cambodians will have access to more than 30 government service offices by 2013.

The so-called “one window one service” sites were created so citizens can carry out routine tasks, such as the registration of motorbike licence plates, without travelling great dist­ances or waiting many hours.

“The aim is to offer the people access to public ser­vices … the received services are ones delegated by relevant minis­tries,” said Por Phak, Director of the Interior Min­istry’s Inter­national Relations Depart­ment.

The offices, 17 of which have opened in 10 pro­vinces since 2009, were made pos­sible by funding from the Cam­bodian government and the World Bank.
