Subedi also said that the titling project fails to address “the crux of the problem” by avoiding disputed land, and echoed concerns about the deployment of volunteers who often get just two days of training and are confusingly clad in military fatigues.
Cambodian land ministry spokesman Beng Hong Socheat Khemro dismissed Subedi’s comments as having “no value,” saying the students’ role was to prevent future land conflicts and not to solve existing conflicts.
The youngsters are ideally suited to help because they have the skills to operate the satellite navigation system equipment used to measure land and because they are “honest,” he said.
