The county government has opposed a plan by the National Land Commission (NLC) to allocate land to the Lapsset corridor.

Governor Issa Timamy termed the move to allot more than 28,000 hectares of land to the project as unconstitutional, saying NLC has no mandate of allocating the public land to any investor without consulting his government.
