Funcinpec to Prince: See you in jail

According to this week’s edition of the Mirror, Keo Puth Rasmei says that even though Funcinpec kicked Prince Ranariddh out of the party and filed graft charges against him, you know, no hard feelings.

Funcinpec gave a green light again to Prince Norodom Ranariddh on Saturday last week, but it requested him to accept two conditions beforehand: he has to recognize the last congress of Funcinpec of 18 October 2006, and he has to agree to having been sentenced to 18 months in prison by the Phnom Penh Municipal Court.

So just as soon as Ranariddh does those 18 months, Funcinpec will be glad to join forces with him and his new party? That’s some deal. It’s a wonder that Keo Puth Rasmei didn’t injure himself laughing while making the announcement.
