On Wednesday, the opposition party and civil society organizations called on Kep Chuktema, the governor of the city of Phnom Penh, and Touch Naroth, the Phnom Penh city police commissioner, to resign from their position because they were involved in the Koh Pich bridge tragedy. Kem Sokha, HRP president, said: “The government must punish high-ranking officials who are responsible in the administration, otherwise, they have to be removed from their position.” Yim Sovann, SRP spokesman, said: “I am calling on the government to suspend officials responsible for this tragedy in order to perform the investigation. We call on the Phnom Penh city governor [Kep Chuktema] and the Phnom Penh city police commissioner [Touch Naroth] to resign from their position also.”
