geovalin Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 The government has given out more than one million hectares of land to disabled and retired soldiers, families of deceased soldiers and other impoverished people over the last five years. Theng Chan Sangvar, Secretary of State of the Ministry of Land Management, said yesterday that about 400,000 families have benefitted from the government’s land concession scheme. “We also built houses for some of the very poor families. The government is doing this to improve the well-being of impoverished people and to soldiers and their families for their dedication. Our primary aim is to lower the poverty rate.”“Most of the land was given out to families who did not have a roof over their heads or could not make ends meet,” he said yesterday. In 2020, 4,209 families received 6,660 hectares of land, and 533 houses were constructed. “In 2021, we struggled to assemble teams to build houses because of Covid-19 and only 36 houses were built but 1,757 families received land,” he said. “In total, during the past five years, the government has given 481,157 families the 1,356,396 hectares of land. We are also constructing 7,805 homes, of which 7,382 have already been completed and given out,” he said. read more https://www.khmertimeskh.com/501141044/one-million-hectares-of-land-distributed-to-the-deserving/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
