District official dismissed for land appropriation

ĐẮK NÔNG  —  The People’s Committee of the Central Highlands Province of Đắk Nông has decided to dismiss the Vice Chairman of the People’s Committee of Tuy Đức District for appropriating public land.

Nguyễn Hữu Huân was found to have appropriated over 75,000sq.m of public forest land managed by Quảng Trực Afforestation Farm in Quảng Trực Commune.

The land was taken over by Huân in 2000 for cultivation purposes when he held the positions of deputy head of the planning office and deputy director of the afforestation yard.

He asked a resident to register the land for him and then granted the resident a land use right certificate, and then transferred the land use rights to his wife. — VNS
