An environmental watchdog is urging Cambodia's donors to scrutinize multi-million-dollar payments by French oil company Total to secure the rights to explore an offshore area.
The call by the London-based Global Witness comes after Cambodia's premier Hun Sen announced a 28-million-dollar contract with Total on Tuesday.
Hun Sen says eight million dollars of that money would go towards a "social fund".
