In a related development, the Executive Committee of the Phu Quoc Party Committee has disciplined Dinh Khoa Toan, Chairman of Phu Quoc People's Committee, in the form of party’s reprimand, due to the increasing occurrences of construction works without or not in line with permission, along with other violations, according to the Inspection Commission of the Kien Giang provincial Party Committee.
In addition, Vice Chairman of the Phu Quoc People's Committee, Huynh Quang Hung was also reviewed to draw experience. Vice Chairman Huynh Quang Hung has many shortcomings and mistakes in carrying out compensation, support and resettlement tasks, as well as in granting of land use right certificates.
Furthermore, even though being tasked with the head position in the Compensation, Support and Resettlement Council, Hung inadequately performed inspection, leading to wrong compensation of more than VND1.3 billion (US$57.200), or at certain times advised the chairman not on a timely basis which has caused wrongdoings.
