Deputy Prime Minister Say Samal said that, during the government's seventh mandate, he would work through the land management ministry to try to resolve all land disputes in Cambodia through a campaign to complete land registration. He said this would help residents live peacefully and prevent groups he described as biased from exploiting land issues for political purposes.
Say Samal made the remarks at a September 11, 2025, ceremony in Kep province to distribute property ownership certificates to residents of ភូមិថ្មី in ព្រៃធំ sangkat, Kep city, and ភូមិទួលសាងាំ, ភូមិអង្កោល and ភូមិចំការបី in ដំណាក់ចង្អើរ district.
Attendees included Kep constituency Member of Parliament ចម ប្រសិទ្ធ, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Land Management, Urban Planning and Construction Say Samal, the provincial council chairman and Kep Governor សោម ពិសិដ្ឋ.
Governor សោម ពិសិដ្ឋ said the distribution marked progress by the provincial administration towards completing systematic land surveying and registration and becoming the first province to complete the distribution of ownership certificates.
He invited residents to contact the provincial Department of Land Management, Urban Planning, Construction and Cadastre during office hours to collect their titles after the ceremony. He also asked service officials to facilitate access and serve residents attentively and responsibly.
According to the department head's report, Kep had 54,107 plots as of September 2025. Of the titles, 30,566 had been delivered to residents and another 12,453 remained to be distributed.
