GENERAL SPIRIT AND DECISIONS OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF
CAMBODIA IDEPENDENT CIVIL SERVANTS ASSOCIATION (CICA) VENUE:
TONLE BASAK, PHNOM PENH, CAMBODIA
DATE: DECEMBER 16, 2012
Paris Peace Arcord on October 23, 1991 supported by international
community and the civil war because of internal conflict over three
decades was totally ended in 1998 would provide the golden opportunity
to restore its face and development. General overview, Cambodia is a
small country with its 14 million people and nature-given diverse
resources and further more Cambodia has gotten millions dollars in
technical and financial assistance from the international communities
every year should have developed faster than another countries in the
ASEAN region and and the living standard and dinity of people and civil
servants should be ensured and better.
Such hopes would seem to be far away from them especially for ordinary
civil servants. They would be hopeless whether when would they have good
salary and better living condition? Camparing salary and living
situation of Cambodia’s civil servants with civil servants of some
countries in regions and ASEAN members countries is very low
particularly ordinary civil servants would not be able to meet the
family’s daily demands such as for electricity price, water price and
transportation to their dailly work. Dailly increase of goods prices in
market, food, clothes, accomodation, medicine, social ceremonies are
their concerns. Furthermore, high expenses for social services
connecting with the government-given poor services because of unfair
social services, nepotism, partism, curruption, poor governance and
management in benefits constribution from development without
transparency and equity in society. Reflecting these mentioned problems
how would quality, effectiveness, responsibility and proffesional works
for publics? and what do their believes, willing, consciousness,
responsibilities, dinity and code of conduct with people to take place?
Relating to the above mentioned problems so far have been seen that,
politicial leaders frequently have dropped it on the consequences of
causes of civil war. With this reason would be stopped. The politicians
sould examine and learn from past experiences of poor management and
poor governance and then converting them to provide and serve public
services with good governance.
Good-given public services is playing an important role in enhanchment
of dinity and living condition. Over view of ours, Successful factors of
country development are linking to the political willing, human
esource, and management with good governance is essential. Present as
well as future, civil servants are always playing critical actors in
supporting and inspiring public services qulity enhancement and
country’s development. In constrast with, bad or public-given poor
services, corruption, nepotism, unfair, limitted human right and poor
governance are challenges and beriers of development.
Coming year 2015, one ASEAN community and one distination, climate
change, globalization, free market and high technology etc. would
Cambodia to be read? Cambodia has to be ready and sufficient in
challenging with such events. The civil servants is needed to pay
attention by the government. In Cambodia would not be ready, Cambodia
would not able to compete with the changes and influcen of the
globalization, free market and high technology. Ordinary people and
civil servants firstly would suffer from such changes.Gradually,
willing, consciousness, human right and democracy would be broken down.

Servants Association (CICA) and to meet the memtioned concerns and
challenges would express prioritizing following statements and
activities:
