During the inspection of 19 land use projects in Hung Yen province, the Government Inspectorate found some violations and shortcomings. Out of these projects, the Government Inspectorate identified 4 projects that were approved without going through the bidding process, which is a violation of the law on housing. These projects are: the infrastructure construction project of Sector A – North QL5 urban area in Noi Village, which is developed by Hoa Phat Construction and Urban Development Company; Hoang Anh Residential Area Project; Hung Vuong Investment and Development Joint Stock Company Project; and the commercial and urban residential area construction project.

Based on the inspection results, regarding the infrastructure construction project of Sector A – North QL5 urban area in Noi Village, the Government Inspectorate recommended that the Prime Minister instruct the Provincial People’s Committee to revoke the Decision No. 1488/UBND-KT1 dated July 14, 2016, which approved Hoa Phat Construction and Urban Development Company as the investor for this project. This recommendation is made because the current laws, including the Housing Law 2014 and the Government’s Decree No. 99/2015/NĐ-CP dated October 20, 2015, do not have provisions regarding the transfer of projects using land fund as capital for infrastructure construction.
Furthermore, the Government Inspectorate directed the relevant agencies to review the legal documents and conduct a new bidding process to select an investor for land use projects in accordance with the law.
“If any legal violations are discovered during the implementation process or if the selection of an investor through bidding process is not completed by June 30, 2025, the case shall be transferred to the investigating authorities for handling as prescribed,” concluded the inspection report.
As for the Hoang Anh Residential Area Project, Hung Vuong Investment and Development Joint Stock Company Project, and the commercial and urban residential area construction project, these projects have been basically completed and the investors have fulfilled their financial obligations to the state regarding the land. They have either sold or transferred the properties to households or individuals. The bidding process for these projects aimed to select capable investors to carry out the projects, and the timing of the selection of the investors is not related to the land price at the time of allocation, allowing for the change of land use in the future.
Along with that, the review and determination of land financial obligations will be conducted to accurately determine the land use fees in accordance with the law, ensuring that the state budget is not lost.
