Weaknesses exposed in Thanh Ha commune
(Baonghean) - The Thanh Ha commune government was very careless in implementing the direction of the Thanh Chuong district People's Committee on checking, verifying and reporting to clarify the contents that Nghe An Newspaper reflected in the 2-part series: "Thanh Ha, heated from a complaint".
Thanh Ha Commune - "hot" from a complaint
(Baonghean.vn) - The main reason for the prolonged situation of complaints and denunciations being sent to higher levels has been pointed out to be the slowness of local authorities to intervene, and even lack of responsibility in handling the issue at the grassroots level. Thanh Chuong and Thanh Ha districts are typical examples of this.
Hold hands, show me!
2 part series: “Thanh Ha, hot from a complaint” was published by Nghe An Newspaper on March 21-22, 2019. Also on March 22, 2019, at the meeting of the Internal Affairs bloc, the Standing Committee of Thanh Chuong District Party Committee concluded that the key content in April was to assign the District People's Committee to direct "the Department of Natural Resources and Environment and the People's Committee of Thanh Ha commune to focus on thoroughly handling the forest land case in Thanh Ha commune as reported by Nghe An Newspaper, not to let it drag on, causing hot spots to occur".

In order for the People's Committee of Thanh Ha commune to complete its tasks, in document No. 424/TN-MT dated March 25, 2019, the People's Committee of Thanh Chuong district analyzed the content of the 2-part series "Thanh Ha, thinking from a denunciation". Article 1 with the title "Violations in the management and use of forestry land?": Is the issue raised by Mr. Hoang Van Nam - head of hamlet 13, Thanh Ha commune in the denunciation sent to Nghe An Newspaper in early February 2019. Specifically, he said that in this locality, there are individuals occupying forestry land, illegally building houses and the cause is due to the government's delay and tolerance...". Article 2 "Regulating the role of state management": Raises the issue of needing to rectify state management in Thanh Ha commune, because there is a situation where some cadres and party members show inertia and lack of responsibility in performing their duties and responsibilities...".
Accordingly, the People's Committee of Thanh Ha commune is assigned to inspect, verify, clarify and report the following contents: The total area of forestry land allocated and granted a land use right certificate for Mr. Pham Duc The's household to use in Thanh Ha commune (including the area that Mr. The has transferred to others and the remaining area that Mr. The is using). The area of forestry land that Mr. The is using but has not yet been granted a land use right certificate. It is necessary to clearly state the area, plot number, map sheet number, legal status of the land (what is the origin of this land use, are there any land documents, clearly state the status of disputes, encroachment if any...).
Clarify whether the content of the newspaper's reflection on Mr. Pham Duc The's construction on forestry land is correct or not. If the newspaper's reflection is correct, when did Mr. The build a house on forestry land? Clearly state the responsibility of the Commune People's Committee in inspecting, preventing and handling this case. Clarify the responsibility of the collective and individuals involved in the delay in preventing and handling the case of Mr. Tran Dai Sy, a citizen of Hamlet 14, building a house on forestry land. At the same time, propose a plan to completely handle the above violation according to regulations, not to let it drag on and affect the state management of land in the locality.

"Unacceptable"!
In document No. 424/TN-MT, Thanh Chuong District People's Committee requested that by April 20, 2019 at the latest, Thanh Ha Commune People's Committee must report the results of the verification. However, it was not until May 2, 2019 that the District Department of Natural Resources and Environment received the report. And sadly, the report of Thanh Ha Commune People's Committee was extremely sketchy. To the point that Mr. Trinh Van Bang - Head of the Department of Natural Resources and Environment said at a meeting with Nghe An Newspaper reporters on May 7, 2019: "It is unacceptable!".
Responding to the content of Nghe An Newspaper's reflection of Thanh Ha Commune People's Committee shown in document No. 35/BC-UBND.DC. Here is the information: The total area of forestry land of Mr. Pham Duc The granted a certificate of land use rights is 20.28ha (3 certificates of land use rights); transferred by handwritten paper 3ha to Mr. Phan Van Lan. The total area of forestry land that Mr. Pham Duc The has not been granted a certificate of land use rights is 37.82ha; transferred to Mr. Nguyen Van Yen (Thanh Ha commune) 12ha, Nguyen Dinh Phung (Thanh Ha commune) 5ha, Phan Van Tan (Thanh Ha commune) 2ha. The total area of forestry land that Mr. Pham Duc The is currently using is 24.45ha.
On May 13, 2019, Thanh Chuong District People's Committee issued Document No. 717/UBND-TNMT on rectifying state management of land to the Chairman of Thanh Ha Commune People's Committee. In Document 717/UBND-TNMT, Thanh Chuong District People's Committee affirmed that the contents of Nghe An Newspaper's information on violations in land management and use in Thanh Ha Commune and the reflection of Mr. Pham Duc The's construction on forestry land are well-founded; at the same time, it directed Thanh Ha Commune People's Committee to continue to inspect, verify, clarify and take measures to handle violations...

Regarding the content of Mr. Pham Duc The building a house on forestry land, Thanh Ha Commune People's Committee informed: "On April 2, 2019, Thanh Ha Commune People's Committee went to the farm area to conduct work. Through the actual inspection, there was a temporary house with 2 rooms and tile roof, with an area of about 40m2.2. During the meeting, Mr. The explained that his family started doing farm business in 1999 and built 2 houses and looked after the farm. By 2018, his farm had deteriorated, so he repaired and upgraded the roof with tiles to make it more convenient for him to look after and protect the farm and trees...".
Regarding the request to clarify the responsibility of the collective related to the delay in preventing and handling the case of Mr. Tran Dai Sy and to propose a definitive solution for this case, the People's Committee of Thanh Ha commune summarized: "The People's Committee of Thanh Ha commune has held a meeting and reviewed the relevant individuals and has been consulting with the Department of Natural Resources to agree on a definitive solution."

Raising the question: How will the Thanh Chuong District People's Committee handle the information in the report of the Thanh Ha Commune People's Committee? According to Head of Department Trinh Van Bang: "Currently, the district has requested the Thanh Ha Commune People's Committee to redo the report. After that, a review will be conducted, or a working group may be established to inspect...". Mr. Bang also said that in Thanh Chuong District, there is a situation where some commune-level authorities are still passive and have not properly performed their responsibilities, so recently the District People's Committee had to directly handle violations at the grassroots level. Regarding the case of Mr. Tran Dai Sy - a citizen in Hamlet 14, Thanh Ha Commune, who violated the construction of works on forestry land, Mr. Trinh Van Bang said that the District People's Committee will no longer urge, because it has urged many times, and even reviewed the responsibilities of the leaders of the Thanh Ha Commune People's Committee.
“Currently, this case has been transferred to the investigation agency to investigate and clarify issues related to land. Therefore, the District People's Committee will wait for the conclusion of the investigation agency before handling it…”.
