“Pitha” joins hands with MP Supapakorn to open a forum to listen to land issues in Wat Bot District, Phitsanulok Province, pointing out that each government agency holds a different map – overlapping with people’s residences. Recommend that local authorities decide Reduce bottlenecks from the central sector
At Wat Bot, Wat Bot District, Phitsanulok Province, the Kao Klai Party opened a forum to listen to people’s land problems. There are representatives from local administrative organizations. Many government agencies and citizens came together to reflect on the problem.
Mr. Supapakorn Kittayathikun, MP for Phitsanulok District 5 (Chat Trakan, Nakhon Thai District, and Wat Bot), Kaew Klai Party, revealed that District 5 has a total area of ??5,132 square kilometers. It is considered a very large constituency. The area is equal to Ratchaburi Province, but that is not as much of a problem as being an area that is prohibited from development. Because it is in a forest area Make the development of public utili
ties Infrastructure Irrigation to serve the people is difficult and inadequate. There are also many people living in the forest reserve area. As a result, only about 20 percent of them have their own land rights documents.
While Mr. Pitha Limcharoenrat The chairman of the advisory board for the leader of the Kao Klai Party said that in the short term, he would first take the problems that people complained about and leave them with the Land Commission. of the House of Representatives Continue troubleshooting.
Point 2: We found that various government agencies Each person holds a map. This causes land to overlap, such as in many areas being reserved forests. But in reality it is a reserved forest. that looks deteriorated There are already people and communities living there. According to the numbers that the Land Committee has obtained, it is believed that there is a boundary according to the Reserved Forest Act. Over 60 million rai of which is looked after by the Forest Department, maintaining forest condit
ion, over 40 million rai has become degraded forest. It is a place for people to eat. And there is no more forest, approximately 21 million rai.
Therefore, we will push for local authorities to have the power to decide whether to allow the development of infrastructure systems such as electricity and water, rather than the Director-General of a department or minister sitting in Bangkok. To reduce bottlenecks in decision making
Mr. Pitha added that in the medium term, we found that the state holds enormous amounts of land throughout the country. But at the same time, the coup government also has a policy of reclaiming forests from the people. causing people to have less land Even though the state is still not using its own land in the most efficient way, we therefore propose that the state take the land it already holds and remanage it for maximum benefit. Maintain areas and restore forests from areas they own. A clear example is that about 12 million rai of state property nationwide is already owned by the
military. or the total area is equivalent to the entire province of Phitsanulok.
After the stage was finished listening to land issues. There were many people waiting to welcome and encourage Pitha and the party to move forward at Wat Bot Municipality Market. Pitha said thank you for the encouragement. In closing, he asked that we stand together and go forward and walk together. ‘Going forward without abandoning the people People do not give up and move forward’.
