Description

The complaint concerns issues of resettlement and damages to properties caused by the project’s construction activities. The complainants argue that their properties were damaged or rendered unsuitable for living due to the construction of the FMO-financed project and that, nonetheless, adequate compensation or appropriate replacement housing were not delivered despite earlier commitments made by the client company. In particular, the complainants contend that: (1) As a result of the construction activities, 13 houses remain located at a steep edge of the constructed canal in areas that present significant risk for the residents’ lives, and should thus be replaced by houses in safe locations. Furthermore, the complainants argue that guard rails and fences offered by the client company as protection do not satisfy the need for safe housing. (2) In relation to replacement houses that were provided by the client company for relocated persons, the complainants assert that the project failed to install kitchens and latrines. Instead, the property owners were given a sum of 2,000,000 Ugandan shilling, which is insufficient to properly construct these fixtures. (3) Eight of the complainants assert that they suffered damages to their land or crops due to the construction works during the years of 2017, 2018 and 2019, and were not compensated adequately for these damages. (4) Two of the complainants claim that due to the construction activities their land became “orphaned”, i.e. of no value, and thus should be acquired from them, in line with the commitments made by the client company. The complainants therefore seek appropriate compensation and replacement housing in relation to damages they suffered due to the construction activities of the project.
