BREAKING NEWS: Cambodia’s Single Citizenship for Top Leaders Officially a Law

PHNOM PENH: After series of evaluations, plenary session and approval, the amendment of requiring single citizenship for the government’s top leaders is now officially a Law. The official promulgation was announced on Thursday after King Norodom Sihamoni’s final approval.

This will be implemented for the top leaders in the country such as the President of the Senate, the President of the National Assembly, the Prime Minister and the President of the Constitutional Council.

They should not have any other citizenship, only Khmer. Otherwise, they will be disqualified to be in the top position.

The law was initiated by Prime Minister Hun Sen in early October following the erroneous foreign reports stating that he holds a Cypriot passport. The report was later corrected by the British news agency, The Guardian.
