Phnom Penh (FN), Aug. 22 – Former Cambodian prime minister Hun Sen reacted to criticisms stating that although Samdech stepped down as prime minister, he continued to hold power. In response, Samdech considered such criticisms ignorant.

Samdech Hun Sen spoke in a press conference on Tuesday (Aug. 22) at the National Assembly.

"Some comments stated that Hun Sen only transfers position but does not transfer power. Those are stupid comments from people who refuses to understand or is naive. Position comes with power and I should teach those people about that,” Samdech underlined.

He continued, “are lawmakers allowed to sign on behalf of the prime minister? Does the president of the ruling political party can sign documents on behalf of the prime minister?”

On that occasion, Samdech thanked monks and compatriots who have always provided support for more than 44 years of the Royal Government's activities and more than 38 years of his serving as Cambodian prime minister.
