Cambodia's PM cracks down on official vehicle misuse |
|
Cambodia's prime minister has banned the
use of state vehicles for anything other than official business in
a bid to save petrol amid soaring world oil prices.
Prime Minister Hun Sen said in a speech on
national radio some officials used state vehicles to drive their
families around on weekends.
He did not say what the penalty would be
for officials who failed to heed the new ban.
The state does not subsidise fuel prices
in impoverished Cambodia, where pump prices are at record highs of
almost 1.15 dollars US per litre.
