Mr. Hoang Van Nam - Chairman of the Inspection Committee of Kien Giang Provincial Party Committee - said this morning (November 26) that Giang Thanh District Party Committee is still checking and clarifying information about the case of a Vice Chairman of this district giving his child 600 hectares of land as a dowry.

"We are very anxious because despite our continuous requests and reminders, the district still has no report," said Mr. Nam.

Speaking to the press earlier, Mr. Nam said he had assigned the Giang Thanh District Party Committee's Inspection Commission to investigate the declaration of assets and land and compare it with the annual asset declaration records of the district's Vice Chairman, Mr. Bui Van Men.

As reported, a clip appeared on social media earlier recording Mr. Men and his wife giving their daughter 600 hectares of land worth 90 billion VND in the engagement ceremony held in mid-October.

However, Mr. Men affirmed that his wife "mistakenly said 60 cong (6ha) as 600 cong of land". Rural rice fields are only about 100 million VND/cong, so 60 cong of land is worth about 8-9 billion VND.

“In the asset declaration, I declared how many hectares of land my family had and planned to give it to her ( daughter - PV ). This land was reclaimed by my grandparents in the past, my wife and I inherited it from both sides, a little from each side. I reported the whole incident and corrected the information to the agency,” Mr. Men explained.

The truth about the information that the district vice chairman gave his daughter 600 hectares of land as a dowry .

However, later, the husband, who is the Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Giang Thanh district, Kien Giang province, confirmed that his wife "spoke wrongly".
