Court Orders Halt to Land Reclamation by Koh Kong Border Chief

Koh Kong authorities reverse reclamation project

Koh Kong authorities yesterday began removing dirt from a land reclamation site belonging to an army two-star general in Khemarak Phoumint city.

On December 3, provincial authorities filed a complaint against Major General Tun Deat, deputy chief of RCAF’s Cambodia-Thai border affairs, for reclaiming a stretch of sea in the city.

Yesterday, the court ruled against Maj Gen Deat and provincial authorities began removing dirt.

Provincial Governor Mithona Phouthorng yesterday evening said joint forces made up of Land Management Ministry and court officials had the dirt removed from a stretch of the sea filled by Maj Gen Deat.

“Forces have already removed the dirt since 3pm. Joint forces, including representatives from the land management ministry, a court official and all relevant parties took part,” she said.

The removal took place after Prime Minister HE on Saturday ordered Land Management Minister Chea Sophara and local authorities to investigate Maj Gen Deat.
