The issue of the controversial Education City was raised during the Question Hour in the National Assembly, today. Responding to the question posed by Dokar-Sharpa MP, Kezang Wangmo, the Works and Human Settlement Minister, Dorji Choden, said the Cabinet was in favour of the Land Commission’s response.
The National Land Commission had said the land lease period was for 30 years. But the agreement said the land can be sub-leased after 30 years, which according to the Land Commission, was illegal.

The National Land Commission had found out that the land lease agreement of the Bhutan Education City Project in Wangsisina in Thimphu was not in line with the Land Act 2007. The project had come to a halt after the finding.
The South Thimphu MP, Yeshey Zimba, who is the former Chairperson of the Education City Project also clarified that the former government did not do anything against the law when the project was planned.
