Speed ​​up the progress of granting land use right certificates

Voters of Quynh Luu district reported that the current progress of issuing and exchanging land use right certificates according to digital maps for people is still slow, there are many measurement errors and the procedures require many documents and are cumbersome. Voters continue to request the Provincial People's Committee to direct the acceleration of the progress of issuing land use right certificates to people.

Regarding this content, the Provincial People's Committee replied that Quynh Luu district, including 33 communes and towns, has been surveyed and mapped using digital mapping technology. The map products are used to prepare documents for granting land use right certificates to the people. The survey results have been checked and signed by households, individuals, and the People's Committees of communes and towns to confirm that the current land use status is correct.

However, during the process of use, the boundaries of residential land areas of some households and individuals adjacent to agricultural production land are unclear, encroachment and occupation occur, so when declaring and granting Land Use Right Certificates, it is necessary to measure and adjust according to regulations.

In addition, the issuance of Land Use Right Certificates is implemented in accordance with Decision No. 07/2020 dated April 6, 2020 of the Provincial People's Committee and Decision No. 28/2021 dated September 17, 2021 of the Provincial People's Committee. The procedures and time for issuing and exchanging Certificates are made public by the People's Committee of Quynh Luu district, the People's Committees of communes and towns at the one-stop shop. The District People's Committee does not require additional documents.

"The Provincial People's Committee directs the Department of Natural Resources and Environment to continue to coordinate with the People's Committee of Quynh Luu district to inspect and supervise the results of the implementation of dossier preparation for granting Land Use Right Certificates by the People's Committees of communes, towns and consulting units; at the same time, resolve professional and technical problems related to the work of granting Land Use Right Certificates to households and individuals," said Mr. Bui Dinh Long.

Voters of Do Luong district requested the Provincial People's Committee to support funding for Covid-19 prevention and control at the commune level, because this is the locality that directly organizes the implementation of measures, mobilizes all forces to prevent and control the epidemic, but the budget source is still limited.

Regarding this proposal, the Provincial People's Committee said that on August 20, 2021, the Department of Finance issued Official Dispatch No. 3176 on guiding a number of contents of the Covid-19 epidemic prevention regime in Nghe An province.

Accordingly, localities proactively arrange budgets to ensure epidemic prevention and control work in the area. In case the district and commune budgets encounter budget difficulties, the Department of Finance will advise the Provincial People's Committee to consider temporarily granting 70% of the support budget. After the unit has a report on actual expenditures confirmed by the State Treasury where the transaction is made, it will send it to the financial agency at the same level to submit to the Department of Finance to have a basis to advise the Provincial People's Committee to grant the remaining amount.

To deal with difficulties for commune-level budgets, the Provincial People's Committee requested the People's Committee of Do Luong district to consider and balance its budget resources to provide additional support to lower-level budgets from epidemic prevention and control resources, including: budget reserves; regular expenditure cuts, saving an additional 10% of other remaining expenditures in 2021; transferring unnecessary regular expenditures to epidemic prevention and control according to current decentralization...

Voters of Dinh Son commune (Anh Son district) proposed that the Provincial People's Committee have a policy to invest in building a clean water plant so that people of Dinh Son commune have clean water for daily use.

The Provincial People's Committee believes that, in recent times, concentrated clean water supply projects in the province have received attention and allocated state budget capital for implementation through the National Target Programs. The province has paid attention to implementing the general orientation and policies of the state on promoting the socialization of the water supply sector and encouraging businesses to invest. However, due to difficulties in balancing and allocating capital and attracting businesses to invest, there are still some domestic water supply projects that have not been invested in as mentioned by voters.

At the 18th Provincial People's Council's thematic session in 2022, the Provincial People's Committee submitted to the Provincial People's Council for approval resolutions on the medium-term plan of the National Target Programs for the period 2021-2025. The Provincial People's Committee will direct the People's Committee of Anh Son district to review, consider the urgency, and select projects in order of priority, including domestic water projects to include in the list of projects using capital from the National Target Programs for the period 2021-2025 when notified of the capital plan targets.

In the case of proposing to attract clean water investment projects, the Provincial People's Committee directed the People's Committee of Anh Son district to coordinate with departments and branches to call for and attract businesses to invest in the field of domestic water in Dinh Son commune, Anh Son district, ensuring to meet the increasing water demand of the people.

Policy attention for mountainous people

Regarding the system of cultural houses in mountainous areas, voters of Bac Ly and Na Ngoi communes (Ky Son district) reflected that the cultural houses had degraded and requested the Provincial People's Committee to direct the construction of new cultural houses to ensure living conditions and safety for the people.

Regarding this content, the Provincial People's Committee stated that in Resolution No. 55 dated December 9, 2021 of the Provincial People's Council, the medium-term public investment plan of the state budget for the period 2021 - 2025 from the local budget, including support for the construction of cultural and sports institutions at the grassroots level of 34 billion VND.

On January 12, 2022, the Provincial People's Committee issued Decision No. 86 approving the investment policy for projects to support the construction of cultural and sports facilities at the grassroots level in Nghe An province until 2025 (phase 1); of which, in Na Ngoi commune, Ky Son district, there are 3 cultural houses including: Ban Phu Quac 2, Tham Hon and Ka Noi.

For cultural houses: Huoi Bac, Pha Coong, Xam Thang, Cha Nga, Bac Ly commune; Phu Quac 1 village, Ka Tren, Huoi Thun, Phu Kha 1, Na Ngoi commune, the Provincial People's Committee will direct the People's Committee of Ky Son district to balance the funding source from the National Target Program on New Rural Areas, the National Target Program on Socio-Economic Development of Ethnic Minority and Mountainous Areas and other legal sources of the locality for construction.

Regarding the work of cadres, voters of Tri Le and Nam Nhoong communes (Que Phong district) proposed that the Provincial People's Committee pay attention and give priority to recruiting, selecting, training and using cadres from ethnic minorities (such as the H'Mong and Kho Mu ethnic groups...) in Que Phong district, because currently the number of cadres from ethnic minorities in departments, branches and organizations in the district and commune is very small.

Regarding this proposal, the Provincial People's Committee said that in recent times, the Provincial People's Committee has regularly paid attention to the work of selecting, arranging, and using cadres, civil servants, and public employees who are ethnic minorities in the province. In addition, the Que Phong district Party Committee and government have also paid attention to the work of recruiting, selecting, training, and using cadres who are ethnic minorities in general and ethnic minorities in particular.

As a result, the district level has received and appointed 1 deputy head of the district People's Committee who is a Kho Mu ethnic group, a National Assembly delegate for the 2016-2021 term; a provincial People's Council delegate for the 2021-2026 term. The commune level has recruited 2 civil servants who are Commanders of the Commune Military Command who are ethnic minorities. Key leaders in communes with small ethnic minorities such as Nam Nhoong and Tri Le are ethnic minorities.

At the affiliated public service units and schools, 124 people were recruited (of which 87 were Thai people and 5 were ethnic minorities). On the other hand, every year, civil servants and public employees of ethnic minorities are allowed to participate in training and development to improve their working capacity and professional skills to meet the requirements of their job positions.

To continue to effectively implement the policy of recruiting, arranging, using, training and fostering cadres, civil servants and public employees who are ethnic minorities, in the coming time, the Provincial People's Committee will continue to direct the Department of Home Affairs to guide Que Phong district to effectively implement the Party's policies and the State's laws and policies on ethnic minority cadre work; pay more attention to the work of recruiting, selecting, training and using cadres, civil servants and public employees who are ethnic minorities in the district.
