REVIEW AND RESOLVE DIFFICULTIES AFTER MERGER OF COMMUNES AND VILLAGES

Concluding this content, comrade Thai Thanh Quy - Member of the Party Central Committee, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee unanimously assessed that all three resolutions above have had profound impacts, but the implementation process in the province has closely followed the implementation plan and carried out many work contents, basically ensuring. Despite the merger, restructuring of the apparatus, and streamlining of staff, the work and management are still smooth and continue to be promoted.

Although the general goals have been achieved, when going into in-depth analysis, the Provincial Party Secretary requested some work contents that need attention from leadership and direction.

That is still unfair because there are still some agencies and units that have not met the targets for streamlining their staff; the structure of the staff and civil servants has not met the requirements for reducing the proportion of leadership, management and service groups; increasing professional groups... These are issues that the Provincial Party Committee's Organizing Committee needs to review to clarify the objective and subjective causes to report to the Provincial Party Committee's Executive Committee for leadership and direction to ensure fairness.

The head of the Provincial Party Committee also requested to clarify the reasons for the slow implementation of some work contents such as: the association's activities and the revision, supplementation, and review of regulations on the organization and operation of the association; the handling and correction of violations in the process of recruiting cadres and civil servants; and the implementation of the autonomy and socialization mechanism for public service units in some fields.

Especially for the rearrangement of staff and facilities after the merger of communes and hamlets, comrade Thai Thanh Quy requested high concentration to solve the problem in the coming time; at the same time, review and objectively receive opinions from people and grassroots cadres about the difficulties after the merger of hamlets, streamline some positions and regimes for block and hamlet cadres to advise the Provincial Party Standing Committee to have appropriate directive decisions.

The Provincial Party Standing Committee approved the overall adjustment project for the general planning of the Southeast Economic Zone.

Besides, after piloting some models such as: shared office of Party Committee; piloting the Chairman of Inspection Committee concurrently being the chief inspector at district level... there are still difficulties in the operation process, so it is necessary to pay attention to advising the province for leadership and direction.

On the other hand, in the total general payroll of the whole province, it is necessary to study and consider the allocation of payroll quotas to suit the blocks, agencies and units based on the job position project; at the same time, study incentive mechanisms and policies for agencies and units that effectively implement payroll streamlining and organizational restructuring to encourage the staff and civil servants.

In the working program this afternoon, the Provincial Party Standing Committee summarized 5 years of implementing Conclusion 03 KL/TW, dated May 13, 2016 of the Central Party Secretariat on continuing to implement Decision No. 290 QD/TW, dated February 25, 2010 of the 10th Politburo on the Regulations on mass mobilization work of the political system;...
