Wed, 16 December 2020
The government is set to implement a fourth round of cash payments to poor and vulnerable people affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, with disbursements to be made during January to March of next year from a $200 million reserve fund.
During his address to the nation on December 15, Prime Minister Hun Sen announced that the second phase of the third round of Covid-relief payments would conclude at the end of this year. But as the situation had yet to subside, the government decided to extend the programme for another three months.
