Decision No. 666 / QD-UBND dated 12/5/2014 of the People's Committee of Yen Bai province states the "Agency as the owner" and only mentions "people", not any specific family.
The "total projected area" is 2.98 hectares, of which 03 hectares is paddy land, while the rest is 2.68 hectares. The decision also specifies the time of implementation.
Thus, Mr. Quy's family went ahead of the "people" when in July 2015 they completed the conversion of the 2.68 hectares of "other land" that should've been allocated to the people but instead has been monopolized by the said official, which is more than 1.3 hectares (accounting for nearly 50%) of the area.
One of the proponents of these decisions is the Chief of Natural Resources and Environment of Yen Bai City which is Mr. Quy's subordinate.
In an interview conducted by the Vietnam Education Newspaper, Mr. Pham Sy Quy initially denied allegations of land grabbing.
"It's not my house. Why do I have so much land?" Mr. Quy said.
When asked whether: "His wife's name is Hoang Thi Hue and if she was born in 1975?, Mr. Quy again exclaimed: "Hue is my wife, but the land is not mine ...".
During the course of the interview,after the reporter presented "indisputable" evidence, the new Director of the Department of Natural Resources acknowledged that this was his family land and that he was himself "accountable" to the provincial leaders. .
