IT IS REALLY RIDICULOUS- POVERTY AMIDST PLENTY!
The effort of the Bengoh villagers to build their mini hydro dam is praiseworthy for trying to become self-reliant.
However one can see how ridiculous it is that they need to spend an money to build the mini hydro electric dams when in the Bengoh there is a major dam being built and all the Gov’t needs to do is to provide free electricity as compensation to t he people for having stolen their land.
This is another idiotic anti-people gomen project which only enrich the Taib companies and cronies.
Also it is not clear what compensation the Bengoh villagers have received. Probably nothing that will cause the irreplaceable
loss of their villages and communities forever.
How about solar power- easy and cheaper to install? Or natural gas from human waste and bio-degradable rubbish? This are more environmentally friendlier than a dam which blocks up rivers and give rise to environmental problems..
