Report slams dam payouts
Households displaced by the massive Lower Sesan II hydropower dam project in Stung Treng province are being under-compensated by as much as $80,000, according to a new study.
The research, published by the Rivers Coalition of Cambodia and led by political aspirant Kem Ley, found that on average, households in the affected area had been offered $17,250 in compensation.
However, at market rates as assessed by the research team, Ley found that each household should be compensated on average $108,126 to account for lost land, income and property.
