Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Senon Wednesday criticized the draft law submitted by the opposition Sam Rainsy Party (SRP) to limit PM position to one term.
The PM position for one term of five years will make the country leader pack national benefits for their own because they think they could lead the country for just one term, Hun Sen told Cambodia's Investment, Trade, and Infrastructure 2007 Roundtable Forum.
"They have to say candidly that they were afraid of me because when I stand for vote, people will vote for me and they could not become prime minister," he said.
The long time mandate of the PM position will let the prime minister make strategies to give political stability for the country and win supports from people, he said.
SRP President Sam Rainsy told local media Monday that his party would submit a draft law to the National Assembly limiting PM position to one term.
"We want to give opportunities for our well-educated younger generations. When only one person consolidates all the power, it means that person insults or looks down on other educated people," Sam Rainsy was quoted by the Cambodia Daily newspaper as saying.
