On July 10, speaking with Lao Dong, the leader of the Gia Lai Provincial Inspectorate said that this agency had inspected the Chu Se Branch - Gia Lai Coffee Joint Stock Company's report on the situation of people in Chu Se commune (Gia Lai province) arbitrarily occupying more than 260 hectares of agricultural land and garden of enterprises, for illegal profits over the past many years.
According to the leader of the Gia Lai Provincial Inspectorate, this case has lasted for many years and was previously inspected and clarified by the old Gia Lai Provincial Inspectorate. After the merger (from July 1), the new Gia Lai Provincial Inspectorate has received the case file and is continuing to inspect.
"More than 260 hectares of the above land are under the management of Gia Lai Coffee Joint Stock Company. People's arbitrary occupation is not in accordance with regulations. However, to clarify the incident, it is necessary to wait for the conclusion from the inspection agency, the Provincial Inspectorate is continuing to handle. The incident arose from the signing of a contract between the company and local people," he said.
Previously, on July 2, Chu Se Branch - Gia Lai Coffee Joint Stock Company - reported to the People's Committee of Chu Se Commune and the Police of Chu Se Commune about people arbitrarily occupying more than 260 hectares of agricultural land and gardens under the management of enterprises.
According to the report of Chu Se Branch, the total area of land and gardens occupied by the people is more than 260 hectares. Of which, in My Thach 1 village, it is more than 14.6 hectares; Queng Mep village, more than 30 hectares; Phu Cuong village, more than 157.8 hectares; Doan Ket village, nearly 50 hectares and village 5, more than 9.4 hectares.
Chu Se branch said that over the past 6 years, the company has organized meetings and dialogues with contracted people many times (with the participation of Chu Se commune government) but all have not brought results. During this time, people continued to occupy the company's land to grow crops, lease, and illegally profite. The company has also repeatedly reported the incident to the agencies and authorities of the old Chu Se district.
Currently, the situation of people arbitrarily renting mechanical equipment to dig coffee growing holes on company land is quite common. This will cause difficulties in handling it later, because coffee is a perennial crop with large investment costs.
According to Chu Se Branch, the authorities are conducting an inspection of the entire equitization process from Gia Lai Coffee Company Limited to Gia Lai Coffee Joint Stock Company.
While waiting for the official conclusion, the company has temporarily suspended all production activities on the occupied land. Chu Se Branch hopes that the People's Committee of Chu Se Commune and the Chu Se Commune Police will coordinate in propagating and mobilizing local people not to occupy the company's land and cooperate in signing long-term contract deals.
