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.
