Families to Receive Land Titles

Prime Minister Hun Sen has decided to cut land from an economic land concession (ELC) and a rubber plantation to grant land titles to more than 1,000 villagers in Tbong Khmum province’s Memot district, according to the Land Management Ministry. Land Management Minister Chea Sophara’s Facebook page yesterday announced that about 2,000 hectares of land were cut from an ELC and a rubber plantation to give to villagers from six communes in Memot district.
 

Mr. Sophara said there were two separate land issues in the district. One involved 643 families in dispute with an ELC over 1,960 hectares and another involved 635 families in dispute with a rubber plantation over 50 hectares. “Inform to brothers [villagers] from Chan Mul, Choam, Choam Kravien, Rung, Tramung and Tonlung communes in Memot district which has 643 families occupying the land but do not have land titles and involves the Men Sarun company’s land on 1,960 hectares,” he said.
 

“Samdech [Mr. Hun Sen] grants this land to brothers in the form of a social land concession. “Inform to brothers [villagers] in Khnong Kraper Kert and Khnong Kraper Lich villages in Memot district, Samdech [Mr. Hun Sen] decided to grant land titles on 50.9415 hectares involving 635 families.”
