PHNOM PENH (Reuters) - Cambodian leader Hun Sen on Wednesday ordered the justice ministry to amend the constitution to bar holders of the country's top posts, including the prime minister, from being citizens of other nations.

On his Facebook page, Hun Sen said the prime minister, upper and lower houses speakers and head of the constitutional council must only hold Cambodian citizenship"to show loyalty to the nation and avoid foreign interference".

But lawyers for the Cambodian government on Wednesday said the Guardian report was false and Hun Sen has only Cambodian citizenship. The opposition rejects that and many of its members have been arrested or jailed or fled into exile, some receiving citizenship in those countries.
