Propaganda and mobilize Mr. C to carry out procedures to change the purpose of use for the inner part of the land (the part that is suitable for the planning) to relocate the house according to the provisions of law...

As previously reported, many people reported that Mr. C's "villa" was built on land used for rice cultivation but still existed for a long time.

To clarify the information reflected by the people, the reporter had a direct exchange with the leaders of Khanh Binh Tay Commune People's Committee. Mr. Nguyen Canh Hanh, Chairman of Khanh Binh Tay Commune People's Committee, said that Mr. C's family had to move their house twice due to the impact of state projects. In order to create conditions for the people, the local authorities agreed to let Mr. C build a house on the land specializing in rice cultivation first and then carry out the conversion procedures.

"Mr. C. previously applied to build a house and the authorities were also subjective that they would be able to change the land use purpose so they approved. After that, due to planning problems, Mr. C.'s land has not been able to change its purpose according to regulations" - Mr. Hanh explained.

The reporter also raised the question of whether another construction project being built on this land belonged to Mr. C's relatives or not? "Mr. C's family had previously submitted a request to the local authorities to build an additional temporary house for relatives to buy and sell goods. The commune assigned the commune's staff to handle the request. When the commune realized that the family had built an "excessive" temporary house, it sent a force to remind the family, and the family pledged that when the government requested it, they would voluntarily dismantle it," Mr. Hanh informed.
