At the conference, voters reflected on the reality of fake fertilizers and pesticides that cause farmers to suffer losses in agricultural production. “We buy pesticides but the rice is killed by them, we use fertilizers but the rice is not good” – voter Nguyen Van Thuc, Vinh Tien hamlet, Nhan Thanh commune reflected and suggested that it is necessary to strengthen supervision of these products.

Based on the local characteristics of agricultural production, many voters also reflected in this field such as: there should be market forecasts for agricultural products so that people can produce reasonably, avoiding the situation of "good harvest, low price"; there should be a mechanism for new-style cooperatives to convert according to the 2012 Law on Cooperatives.

Voter Ngo Xuan Huan, Dong Yen 2 hamlet, expressed his excitement at the fact that the Party and State have exposed many major corruption cases and acted very strongly, receiving high consensus from public opinion and the people.

However, voter Huan said that it is necessary to improve the effectiveness of State management and cadre management because the recently exposed corruption cases show loopholes in management, with some cadres being influenced by group interests and lacking responsibility in performing their duties.

Voter Huan also highly appreciated the innovations in the activities of the National Assembly, especially the questioning and answering of questions. However, this voter said that it is necessary to improve the quality of speeches in the parliament of some delegates in the condition of limited speaking time.

Voter Phan Van Thanh - Secretary of the Nhan Thanh Commune Party Committee, requested the National Assembly and the Government to supervise the activities of ministries and branches. In fact, in recent times, there have been many incidents such as the sale of fake cancer drugs, licensing the National Anthem that have caused public outrage... related to the management responsibilities of the ministries in charge.

Voter Thanh also recommended that the proposal to increase the environmental protection tax on gasoline to a maximum of VND8,000 should be reconsidered according to the draft Law amending and supplementing a number of articles of the Law on Environmental Protection Tax.

According to this voter, increasing this level will greatly affect people's lives and production due to the price of gasoline.

This voter also suggested that the National Assembly deputies should give their opinions on policies to arrange for the positions of Party Committee office, deputy commune police chief, and deputy commune team leader to be full-time officials. Because currently these positions are enjoying non-professional status; meanwhile, the officials of the People's Committee at the commune level have positions of 2-3 people but the workload is not much.

At the conference, many voters also reflected many opinions related to traffic infrastructure; monitoring the quality of construction works using State budget capital; resolving policies for policy families, policies for communes that have reached the new rural finish line to continue improving the quality of criteria...

In particular, in response to voters of Nhan Thanh commune reporting on fake fertilizers and pesticides, Secretary Nguyen Dac Vinh requested the Chairman of Yen Thanh district People's Committee to conduct an inspection based on the report.

"Anyone who buys fake fertilizers or pesticides should report it to the district and the district will trace the source for handling" - the Provincial Party Secretary said when asking the leaders of Yen Thanh district to set up a hotline at the commune level for people to report to the district when they buy fake goods.
