Voter Nguyen Trong Hue also raised concerns about the current inadequate management and use of land resources with a series of land acquisition cases being prosecuted in a number of localities across the country.

Therefore, it is recommended that the National Assembly assign the Government to conduct a general inspection of land use projects to handle the situation in order to end the situation of "suspended" projects.
