The Committee for Free and Fair Elections in Cambodia (Comfrel) said parliamentary efficiency in the first year of the 6th mandate has decreased compared to previous parliaments composed of multiple political parties. COMFREL found that representatives are active in political discussions, they have paid less attention to the peoples’ problems. It said: “Especially with land conflicts between people, there has been no intervention by any representatives of Parliament to assist or find a solution. “Law implementation has been talked about in parliamentary sessions, but not one representative has criticised the process or asked any hard questions. In contrast, there is only appreciation and support for the leadership of the Royal Government.”
