Assembly promotes 12 Govt officials

The National Assembly voted to confirm a new member of the Constitutional Council and 11 senior government officials on Thursday over the objections of opposition lawmakers. Min Sean, formerly a lawmaker representing Prey Veng province, was confirmed for the nine-member council, and 11 ministry officials were confirmed as secretaries of state. “The government believes that these … candidates have enough ability to handle the government’s responsibilities,” Hun Sen told the Assembly Thursday.
