Phnom Penh (FN), Feb. 22 – Minister of Interior stated that the establishment of modern detention center that required fee, built by the General Department of Logistics and Finance and the private sector, will assist those who are able to pay the fee and those who cannot afford.

The statement was made in the Annual Meeting 2017 of the General Department of Logistics and Finance, held at the Ministry of Interior on Thursday.

Minister confirmed that the new detention center will require fee. He continued that some said it will only be convenient for the rich. However, those who can’t afford can also benefit from the space availability when the rich moved to the new prison.

Sar Kheng expressed his support for the cooperation with the private sector in extending the prison and agreeing to increase the state budget for the construction.

The new detention center, located near Prey Sar correctional center, will be completed by mid-2018, equipped with strong administrative and security system, according to the minister.

The first modern detention center aims to ease overcrowding in the current center and bring income for the government.
