Banteay Meanchey may split communes
Sun, 20 December 2020
Banteay Meanchey provincial authorities are studying procedures to draft a proposal for the separation of three communes consisting of 31 villages in Poipet town.
It is due to the growing population and the complexity of local administration, according to Poipet town deputy governor Keo Dararasmey.
“The biggest reason is population factor. It means that the growing population is now beyond the management capacity of each village. So we want to separate them into more villages and communes as per the Ministry of Interior policy, which allows for only around 150 families per village. Currently, the number of families in each village is in the thousands,” he said.

The government hopes to inspire residents to address hygiene and solid waste management in communities nationwide.
According to an inter-ministerial prakas, the group is tasked with studying and revising mechanisms for implementing the Safe Village/Commune policy which seeks to promulgate awareness of environmental issues and address evolving situations like crime and public health.
Environment ministry spokesman Neth Pheaktra described environmental cleanliness and community hygiene as essential. The task force will provide communities with training and tools to implement practices for keeping villages clean and safe.
“It is important that we foster an integration of knowledge and respect for the environment, including waste management, hygienic living and participation in proper rubbish disposal and clean-up efforts in villages and communes,” he said.
