PHNOM PENH, Cambodia, Feb. 16 (Xinhua) -- The Council of Ministers have
chastised the press for publishing information from a leaked government
document that revealed it began probe into the real estate holdings of recently
removed military chief Ke Kim Yan, national media said on Monday.
The publishing of information contained in the official minutes of a
meeting of the Council of Ministers held on Jan. 23, one day after Ke Kim Yan's
ouster as Commander in Chief of Royal Cambodian Armed Forces (RCAF), amounted
to "incitement and provocation of a bad political environment," English-Khmer
language newspaper the Cambodia Daily quoted a statement of the council as
saying.
"The government is investigating to find the people who leaked its internal
documents and will take strict measures against these individuals," the
statement added.
The minutes, which found their way into the hands of several media outlets
late last week, revealed that Ke Kim Yan was removed in part because of his
land dealings.
According to the minutes, "the Council of Ministers has been informed and
commented on the termination of the position of commander-in-chief from HE Ke
Kim Yan based on two reasons:
"First, reforming the RCAF rank and file by adhering to work effectiveness
in the military rank and file.
"Second, involvement with land issues by a top and powerful person in the
military rank and file and doing business by using the name of military for
personal gain."
The minutes went on to describe a resolution by the Council of Ministers to
have both military and government bodies investigate Ke Kim Yan's land
dealings.
Since his removal, ruling party and military officials have repeatedly
claimed that his ouster was solely to promote reforms within the military.
