Traffic Police Accuse Boss Of Corruption

by Aun Pheap | July 27, 2016 | អានជាភាសាខ្មែរ

Employees of the National Police’s public order department, which oversees the country’s traffic officers, have accused their boss of embezzlement, favoritism, abuse of power and other offenses, according to the Anti-Corruption Unit (ACU).

The ACU summarized the anonymous complaints against Lieutenant General Run Rathveasna, the public order department’s director, as well as his point-by-point denials in a post uploaded to its website. The unit regularly publishes such accusations and accompanying denials, and it remained unclear on Tuesday whether the claims against Lt. Gen. Rathveasna were being investigated.

According to the ACU, employees accused the department chief of pocketing state revenue from various sources, including their designated share of traffic fines collected from motorists.

ACU clears senior traffic cop of corruption complaint

The clarification rebuts the allegations, saying it was standard practice for units to pay for the cars and stating that those complaining about unpaid work over the public holiday had insufficient paperwork to support their claims.

Reached yesterday, Veasna said: “My clarification and the ACU announcement was enough to clear it up.”

ACU President Om Yentieng said the complainant could appeal if they were unhappy with the body’s conclusions.

Strange way to conduct an investigation.
Corruption czar Om Yentieng said on Wednesday that he might still open an investigation into graft allegations against the head of the National Police’s public order department, which oversees the nation’s traffic officers, if the subordinates who made the claims were unsatisfied with their boss’s rebuttal.

In what has become a common practice for the Anti-Corruption Unit (ACU), it recently posted allegations of embezzlement, favoritism and abuse of power against Lieutenant General Run Rathveasna, the public order department’s director, to its website without identifying his accusers.

It summarized the director’s point-by-point denials in the same post but did not say whether an investigation had or would be opened...

Then the anonymous people who made the claim of corruption get to decide if the accused' s defense is believable or not ???
