Re: Land reform strategy
The purpose of this memorandum is to recommend a series of methods to help implement the land reform in Centropico. Based on a practical analysis relying on current conditions of Centropico’s political environment, land transfers and the Department of Rural Reform (DRR), the findings show that these recommendations will promote land reform in Centropico by reducing cabinet-level debates, improving DRR’s administrative capacity, refining land transferring and raising funding. These recommendations include: 1) Unify “different voices” towards land reform among government with vigorous argumentation and convincing documentation, 2) Lay off idle staffs and recruit new members in DRR to ensure the implementation of land transfer system, 3) Quantify and purchase the land from private farmers, government and banks, 4) Persuade new president to charge large farmers or to take land from them with compensation.

Making vigorous argumentation will show the facts that tenants who suffer from poverty and economic insecurity comprise between 40% and 60% of the rural population, and this poor and landless population will impose a constant threat of rebellion towards the new government. Also, convincing documentation will make the cabinet believe that the concern for equity and distribution justice shall be on a par with the concern for economic productivity.
Ensure that DRR works effectively and efficiently by replacing idle staffs with energetic new members. At this time DRR is incapable of carrying out the land reform policy for its officials are all holdovers from the previous regime who lack the energy to implement a
