PM: Media is gov’t development partner
Prime Minister Hun Sen on Wednesday commended three ministers for being open to journalists.
Addressing some 6,000 attendees during the 4th media correspondents’ gala at the capital’s Koh Pich Convention and Exhibition Centre, he said Minister of National Defence Tea Banh, Minister of Interior Sar Kheng and Minister of Public Works and Transport Sun Chanthol had acted as role models by directly answering reporters’ questions on the spot.
He urged officials at all levels to follow suit and consider journalists as development partners of the government.
“Journalists should take more active roles in addressing officials’ inaction because we need a society that is clean and transparent.
