At the meeting, leaders of Tan Ky district, the Provincial Cooperative Union, leaders of the departments of Planning and Investment, Industry and Trade, Finance, Natural Resources and Environment, and Construction answered and clarified the contents related to the contents of the responsible sector.

In particular, according to the leader of the Department of Natural Resources and Environment, if the Cua brick and tile craft village production and service cooperative is approved by the province in its investment policy, it is eligible to lease land without auctioning land use rights.

The leader of the Department of Planning and Investment also said that when the cooperative ensures all required procedures, the investment certificate will be issued within the prescribed time.

Regarding the source of raw materials for project implementation, currently in Nghia Hoan commune, the Provincial People's Committee has approved the planning for exploration and exploitation of common construction materials (the current clay mine area is about 20 hectares).

After having the policy to implement the project, Tan Ky District People's Committee will submit to the Provincial People's Committee to organize an auction of mineral exploitation rights in this area to ensure raw materials for the project.

Although the current number of the Cooperative's Board of Directors is 3 people, in accordance with the Cooperative Law 2012; but it is not enough to have 5 people, according to the Cooperative's charter. Therefore, the People's Committee of Tan Ky district has repeatedly issued documents requesting the Cooperative to complete the Board of Directors and determine the qualifications of members, but so far it has not been implemented.

After listening to the opinions and concluding on this content, Comrade Thai Thanh Quy - Alternate Member of the Party Central Committee, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee shared the people's desire to soon implement the project to restore the brand of Cua bricks and tiles and to stabilize life after the conversion. Therefore, he requested relevant departments and branches, especially Tan Ky district, to pay attention to the solution.

First of all, there are still internal conflicts within the Cooperative, so the Provincial Party Secretary assigned the Chairman of the People's Committee of Tan Ky district, together with Nghia Hoan commune, to continue to work with the Cooperative to resolve internal issues, and to propagate to the Cooperative members the benefits of restructuring to create unity; at the same time, the Cooperative has full legal status in accordance with regulations, a stable apparatus and especially enough internal capacity to manage and lead the Cooperative to effectively implement the project.

The Provincial Party Secretary assigned the Provincial Cooperative Union to send officials to coordinate with Tan Ky district to advise the cooperative on strict steps to carry out procedures.

The above contents must be resolved and completed by this year at the latest, then reported to the Provincial Party Secretary. On that basis, he affirmed to the citizens that he will directly direct each relevant department and branch to resolve the related procedures so that the Cooperative can implement the project for the Cua Brick and Tile Village Production, Business and Service Cooperative.

Also through the settlement of procedures at the Cua Brick and Tile Village Production, Business and Service Cooperative, some departments and branches still responded slowly to the request of the Provincial People's Committee, the Provincial Party Secretary emphasized that this is a big lesson in synthesizing the opinions of departments and branches to advise on the implementation of project investment policies.

Therefore, when departments and branches are consulted to grant investment licenses for projects in general, the Provincial Party Secretary requires them to focus on implementation, the synthesizing agency, the Department of Planning and Investment, must closely monitor and urge to synthesize and promptly advise the Provincial People's Committee.

Also at the meeting, the Provincial Party Secretary received Mr. Truong Van Le, Hamlet 1, Nghi Phong Commune, Nghi Loc District regarding 18 accusations against a number of former leaders and officials of the commune and Hamlet 3 and the proposed solutions for the people in the planning of Vinh University Project.

Regarding the 18 contents of Mr. Le’s accusations, the functional departments of the province and district have resolved, concluded and responded to the citizens. Accordingly, in the accusations, there are contents that “the accusations are both right and wrong”; “wrong accusations”; “groundless accusations”. However, there are contents that Mr. Le does not agree with the conclusions.

Regarding the petition for the planning of Vinh University Project, the University has sent a document to the People's Committee of Nghi Loc District and Vinh City to resolve the petitions for households affected by the planning of the second campus, and is taking steps to relocate affected households according to regulations.

After listening to the opinions of citizens, Nghi Loc district and related sectors and units, regarding the contents of Mr. Truong Van Le's denunciation in Nghi Phong commune, Provincial Party Secretary Thai Thanh Quy requested the leaders of Nghi Loc district within the following week (June 8-12, 2020) to organize a dialogue with citizens to clearly clarify the contents of the denunciation that citizens have not agreed with the conclusion, what is the content?
