Thu, 14 January 2021
The government has revised regulations pertaining to per diem allocations – called ‘mission money’ – for officials at all levels who are tasked with out-of-office assignments.
According to the sub-decree dated January 12 and signed by Prime Minister Hun Sen, the new procedures will improve the effectiveness, efficiency, transparency and accountability of fulfilling missions at home and abroad.
For senior ministers and directors, the sub-decree provides 100,000 to 120,000 riel ($25-30) per diem for general expenses and 200,000 to 240,000 riel for accommodations when travelling. Civil servants and junior officials will be entitled to 40,000 to 60,000 riel per diem.
