Land issues top Laotians' concerns

It was stated during the Third Ordinary Session of the NA’s 7th Legislature.

NA Office Deputy Head Viseth Savengseuksa relayed this to media representatives at a press conference.

“There were more than 280 calls on the hotline from members of the public giving their opinions and concerns during the 17 days of the session. Most of the calls related to land issues,” he said.

Explaining further, Viseth said that people generally understand about the country’s development process, but it often affects their livelihood as land management is not sufficiently effective and there is no other way to respond to new resettlement and land usage arrangements.
