Land management breaches by central Da Nang City authorities had caused a loss of VND3.4 trillion (US$161 million) for the State budget, the Government Inspectorate said yesterday.
The inspectorate said a number of investment projects relating to land management and use in Da Nang from 2003 to 2011 had shown violations related to price or money paid by units and individuals for land use.
The Government inspectors clarified the responsibility of the chairman and vice chairman of the Da Nang People's Committee and related organisations and individuals in violating land management regulations.
The estimated loss was due to a 10 per cent discount for resettled households, equivalent to VND446 billion ($21.4 million); 10 per cent discount for investors, equivalent to VND867 billion ($41.2 million); an unreasonable price decision by the People's Committee which caused a loss of more than VND2.1 trillion ($100 million).
Following the inspection results, Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung ordered the chairman of People's Committee to review and clarify the culpability of organisations and individuals and to punish violators in line with regulations.
Dung also ordered the Ministry of Public Securities to investigate the case and to set punishments in line with the Penal Code.
