Publication : Press Release

Global Witness today welcomed the decision of Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister Sok An to provide a list of companies operating in the oil and gas sector and some information about the management of payments made by them. The information was released in response to questions from the opposition Sam Rainsy Party. However, the pressure group said that it remained concerned that the government had not yet publicly audited the extractive revenue accounts or provided details of deals struck with oil and mining companies. It also remains unclear how payments from oil companies are being administered and used by the government.
