National Assembly passes 36 laws this year

The National Assembly (NA) has approved 36 laws this year which serve the interests and needs of the Kingdom and its people. Last year it approved only 32 laws, said secretary-general Leng Peng Long.

However, while welcoming the approvals, political analyst Em Sovannara said some of the laws had not been fully implemented.

Speaking on December 8, Peng Long said the 36 laws were proposed by the government for approval by the NA and that they met the needs of the Kingdom in light of the current situation.

He said some of the laws had been approved but had yet to be used, such as the State of Emergency Law.

“For now, the NA has approved the laws. But if there is a request by the government, it will continue to review and approve others as well,” he said.
