Reporter worked with Mr. Nguyen Quang Uyen – Head of Thanh Tuyen village (Thuy Thanh commune) on one of Mr. Tu’s violations. Specifically, in 2009, Mr. Tu advised the District People’s Committee (now the town) Huong Thuy to grant land and build gratitude houses for Mrs. Do Thi Yen (living in Lang Xa Con village) on a land plot of 263m2. In fact, papers and real estate stand under the names of Mrs. Mang and Mr. Thanh; Yen does not live. Ms. Mang cut out for Mr. Tu, the land plot of 60 square meters. This land streak is located next to the land plot of 150m2 of frontage and house of Mr. Tu. In 2010, Mr. Tu “took” the planning information of 10 plots of land, assigned the commune People’s Committee to auction, arranged his relatives to buy: Pham Dan (his brother, living in Ho Chi Minh City); Tran Thi Ngoc Ha (Mr. Dan’s wife); Pham Van Loc (biological brother); Tran Thi Thanh Thuy (sister-in-law); Truong Van Tuan (her biological son); allocating 243m2 of land to Mr. Tran Duy Thanh. Mr. Dan, Ms. Ha living in Ho Chi Minh City, Mr. Tuan (living in Phu Xuan commune, Phu Vang district) … did not have a local household registration book, did not know that he won the land auction. Mr. Tu made his own record of winning the auction (at floor price), signed and paid all the above land lots. After the land was issued the red book, Mr. Tu sold it all to others. While people have the need to buy land for living, they are not approved. Many Party secretaries, village chiefs, retired officials and people reflect and denounce Mr. Tu’s mistakes. Taking advantage of legal loopholes and fear of people who do not have a red book, Mr. Tu has granted land for the wrong purpose, wrong planning for Ms. Ngo Thi Quy; buy cheap land from Mr. Tran Song and Mrs. Queo … A house and land on Hoang Quoc Viet street frontage of Mr. Pham Tu after being transferred from Mr. Song and a part of land from the provision of land, building a house of gratitude for Mrs. Yen. Will discipline, recover lost money After the newspaper was published, the Chairman of the Provincial People’s Committee directed the local authorities and functional agencies to inspect and handle. Thi Party Committee, People’s Committee of Huong Thuy town established an interdisciplinary inspection team. And so far, the TTCP concludes many wrong contents of Mr. Tu and the locality. The inspection conclusion on March 4, 2021 of the TTCP has many contents that the Ho Chi Minh City Police Newspaper reflects. Specifically, there are 2 mistakes in the allocation of land for 263m2 and the building of gratitude houses for Mrs. Do Thi Yen. Ms. Yen is the son of martyr Do Sinh, has a household registration in Thuy Phuong commune, and is assigned land by the People’s Committee of Huong Thuy Town according to Decision 905 / QD-UBND dated October 13, 2010. But before that, on August 4, 2009, the People’s Committee of Thuy Thanh commune had a record of temporary handover of land to build gratitude houses and a record dated October 5, 2010 on handing over houses of gratitude combined with residential land to Mrs. Yen. The allocation of this land by the People’s Committee of Huong Thuy is legalizing the improper land allocation of the former CPC. On the other hand, before the land allocation, the TX People’s Committee did not determine whether Mrs. Yen was the subject of land allocation. The current house is 2 floors, frontage Hoang Quoc Viet street (main road connecting Hue city to Thuy Thanh commune), convenient location. Meanwhile, Ms. Yen does not live in the house above. Currently, the house is used by Mr. Thanh and Mrs. Mang. Mr. Phan Chi Huan (left) – Secretary of Thanh Tuyen hamlet and Mr. Dang Van Cu – Head of Thanh Toan village, frustratedly reflect on the mistakes of Mr. Pham Tu. Ms. Mang is the aunt of Mr. Pham Tu – former Chairman of the People’s Committee of Thuy Thanh commune who previously assigned land in contravention of regulations to Mrs. Yen. The local government did not fully implement the prescribed process and procedures. The People’s Committee of Huong Thuy town has not followed the order, showing signs of legalizing the incorrect land allocation by the CPC. TTCP also concluded: to hand over 243m2 of residential land to Mr. Tran Duy Thanh (Thanh Thuy Chanh village) without auction. Leasing Mr. Ngo Tam Buu to rent 56 square meters in the residential area of ​​cluster 6 (Thanh Toan village) for business, but Mr. Buu building a permanent house to live in is contrary to the land lease contract. This land allocation is not for the right purpose and in land use planning. Granting a red book to Ms. Ngo Thi Queo with 542.3m2 of rice land in Lang Xa Con village is not the right origin, land use purpose, in violation of Article 11 of the 2013 Land Law. It is allowed to convert 7 households with land from the old brick kiln to the planning area of ​​group 9, Phu Bai ward (Huong Thuy town), causing a loss of the state budget of more than 1.1 billion VND, so it needs to be recovered. The aforementioned violations are the responsibility of the Chairman of the Town People’s Committee Huong Thuy, the Division of Natural Resources and Environment, the Office of Land Use Rights Registration, the Chairman of the People’s Committee of Thuy Thanh Commune and the Chairman of the People’s Committee of Phu Bai Ward, period 2004 –2010.
