He said the appointment of Un Sokunthea – the former director of the Department of Anti-Human Trafficking and Juvenile Protection – would empower more women to take on leadership roles in government and the wider society. “She is suitable to accept this post because she has been working for a long time,” Kirt Chantharith said. He added that there are currently 11 deputy national police commissioners serving under national police chief Neth Savoeun.
