Phnom Penh (FN), Feb. 22 - Kem Sokha's daughter, Kem Monovithya, has demanded Japanese government to explain about the Japan's aid for the election process in Cambodia.

Her demand for explanation came after the Japanese government provided 10,000 ballet boxes, an equivalent to a total of more than $7.5 million to the National Election Committee (NEC) on Wednesday.

"Japan must explain to Cambodians why they support the artificial elections, taking away the will of the millions of Cambodians," Kem Monovithya wrote on Twitter on Thursday.

In response, NEC spokesman Dim Sovannarom said that what the NEC is doing, including receiving aid, is only complying to the law.

He said that for the upcoming national elections, the NEC received the assistance from many countries, including Japan, China and Russia.
