Board of CRF seeks a double term
Just a month since their election, the leaders of the nation’s apex rice industry body have cast a motion to extend their terms – a move some have greeted with suspicion. On August 12, the board of directors of the Cambodian Rice Federation announced it would put a vote to the federation’s members on whether or not to double the length of its mandate from two years to four. “The board council members decided and agreed to delay the mandate from two years to four years, because they thought that was too short to achieve their plan,” CRF secretary-general Moul Sarith said. “We will put it to the CRF members in the annual meeting next July and ask them to vote on it.”
