Opposition Stance
The primary criticism is directed at the minister and the government's administrative organization, particularly the transfer of the Land and Spatial Planning Authority under the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Communications. This administrative change is viewed as non-transparent and illogical from a corruption standpoint, given that land resources ought to fall under the Ministry of Regional Affairs and Agriculture. The criticism is both procedural and political, emphasizing a lack of decisive action.
