Most corrupters are high rank official's friends, relatives and high rank official themselves. who dare to arrest them?
HANOI, Nov 30 (AFP) - Laos has taken the unusual step of firing a
number of judges, a newspaper said on Monday, possibly to bring the
communist country in line with international legal norms.

It was not clear how many judges were sacked or exactly why, but the
decision was announced at the close Friday of the Lao National
Assembly's six-month session, a top decision-making body.

"The judges violated the law," the Vientiane Times quoted Thongteun
Sayasane, spokesman for the Assembly, as saying Friday.

Their removal came on the recommendation of the Lao People's Supreme
Court, which found the judges had not performed in accordance with the
law, the report quoted Thongteun as saying.

He added that firing judges was a rare move by the National Assembly.

But it was not surprising given Laos has "made quite a stride" in
trying to join the international legal and human rights framework in
recent years, said Dirk Wagener, of the United Nations Development
Programme (UNDP) in Laos.

Wagener, Assistant Resident Representative and head of the Governance
Unit at the UNDP's Laos office, said he did not have details of the
sackings but noted the country recently ratified the UN's Convention
Against Corruption, as well as the UN's Covenant on Civil and
Political Rights.

"We have a lot of indications that the country continues to open up,
and taking the issue of corruption much more seriously than before is
part of the process," he said.

Human rights watchdog Amnesty International said earlier this year
that trials in Laos did not meet international standards of fairness.

Lao government spokesman Khenthong Nuanthasing could not confirm the
Vientiane Times report, and the National Assembly could not be
reached.

all talks and no actions!!!! they been talking about fighting corruption for years but the people never seen anyone got put in jail. by talking about it, makes people thinks that they are doing something about it.... but in reality, they are helping themselves with free money.. send their kids to school in other countries, build their palaces, and plenty of SUV for their families... and the poor folks will continue wondering where is the next meals will be coming from.. true but SAD!!!!

For once I'll take the other view.

Besides the corupt officials who send thier kids to Euro schools etc etc...

Laos also has honest officials, and judges. They live in small houses and don't own a car because their salary is too low. I think the govt of the Lao PDR has made a concerted effort to cut back on corruption. The effort has been going on for a couple of years now, I think it has something to do with the new Prime Minister.

The money lost isn't signifigant in and of itself, the true damage is when officials don't act in the best interest of the country, more is lost than money. I think this latest anti corruption drive is an honest undertaking to cut back on corruption. This isn't just to make noise.

News articles such as these give me optomism for the progress of Laos as a country, I hope they are succsesful.

To young generation who trust and die for lao communist government, please open your eyes to see what happen now. Don't think that your guide are better than Lao nor. You guide will have nothing to eat soon if you keep follow your leader....

The Speak-Out would do to restoring the faith and trust of Lao people in their government: First# require all laws that applyto the rest of the cabinet ministers And Assemblymans/womens, and all Representatives. Second# select a major independent auditing firm to conduct a comprehensive audit of the Congress for waste, fraud or abuse. Third# Limit the terms of all committee chairs.Fourth# Require committee meetings to be open to the public, if all politicians follow all my 4R. then they're not above the law. if they do, then they will ruin thier life in jail. there's no need to be execute like China and Singapore. Right,

Speak-out English is short and simple enough for anyone to understand easily that means he's a good ex-plainer. Only the terrible one need to write a whole page long to explain or make his point most of the time the reader forgets half way through or even confused at the end.

Hi Speak-Out, I like your courage in speaking out your mind the way I like BLM's openess in making comments. However, I think the Anonymous above just want to correct you: "assemblymen", "assemblywomen" and "billions of kips to burn."
He is probably feeling uncomfortable reading the wrong grammar, that's all.

We are only told how many billions are unaccounted for, but what we need to know is how the government plans to deal with corruption.

Laos needs to have strong and honest leaders at the top to stamp out corruption. I always believe that corruption in Laos can be sorted out if the government really wants to. For instance, the government must confiscate assets from corrupt officers back to the state’s coffer, and those corrupt officers need to be sacked permanently. At the moment, some corrupt officers have been sacked for their wrong doings but not told to pay back what they have taken, and a few months or a year later you’ll see those corrupt people popping up on other high positions in the government again.

Let' me make it clear about defination of the '' Assemblyman/Assemblywoman.'' ASSEMBLY=a groups of a persons gathered together. a regislative body, especially. the lower house of regislature. so, ASSEMBLYMAN/WOMEN (N) mean a member of regislative assebly. Now open the Dictionary and define it. again, this is not a wrong gramma as he thought, But, the man never heard/payattention to politicians bebated each other on political network, that'all.

Watches are a beautiful thing. Certainly, they tell us the time - but aren't they so much more than that? replicas watches Through their watches, a person can express so much, and in a way it could be said:replicas watches Show me your watch and I'll tell you who you are.
