'Ministry of War, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Justice...'

(Baonghean) - In the past, when studying folk literature, the most impressive sentence was "Ministry of War, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Justice/Three ministries agreed to strangle the common people".

The impression is because it brings a feeling of darkness, suffocation and helplessness of the people under the rule of too many forces... That is a story of the past, a story of feudal times. Nowadays, those stories no longer exist. But in some areas, the situation of "one neck, many yokes" is not absent, does not exist.

For example, on October 3, at a conference attended by President Tran Dai Quang, the Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City Industrial Park Association, representing 1,100 factories and 300,000 workers from 16 industrial parks, listed the types of circulars, decrees, procedures, sub-licenses, etc. that businesses must comply with.

Of which, the Ministry of Finance involves 1,645 procedures; the Ministry of Justice 678; the Ministry of Industry and Trade 547... not to mention 18 other ministries and branches. It is truly a "forest of procedures". And to be able to complete that many procedures, if there is a "runway" and a "lubrication system" to support, at the fastest, an import-export enterprise would have to spend up to half a month to complete it. Meanwhile, in countries in the region such as Laos, Cambodia... it only takes one to two days. Not to mention product quality, just talking about time alone, the competitiveness of Vietnamese enterprises cannot be "recovered". For the same journey, others only took 2 days, but it took us 14 days, it would be strange if we did not lose or fall behind!

What is worth worrying about is that this situation has been going on for a long time. In every meeting with the leaders of the Party, State, and Government, businesses have complained and proposed to simplify procedures to create an open environment for businesses to develop production and business; but the situation has not had many positive changes, if not to say it has stagnated.

More than 2 years ago, the head of the Government at that time, upon hearing about the procedures related to the Customs and Tax sector, could not hide his surprise and exclaimed that it was “unacceptable”. And then the Government gave instructions to improve the situation. But then the people, specifically businesses, still had to accept the “unacceptable” things. It seems that there were times when “the king’s law lost to the village’s customs”. Because those “customs” were beneficial to the “village”, those responsible in the “village” resolutely refused to abandon or break the “customs”. As a result, until now, businesses continue to complain, asking for solutions to the problems they have complained about for so many years.

One thing that touched many people and made them hopeful was that the "unacceptable" things that they had to accept for many years would not have to continue to endure in the coming time, that is, Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc himself called the Chairman of the National Assembly to earnestly request that a draft law amending investment and business procedures be submitted to the National Assembly soon to quickly remove difficulties for businesses, demonstrating the determination of a constructive and serving government.

That action showed the pain and anxiety of the head of the Government, before the obstacles and stagnation of the apparatus and the determination to overcome and remove those barriers. However, this, someone compared it to a train, no matter how much horsepower the locomotive has and how strong and powerful the pull is, it cannot move quickly if the freight cars behind are leisurely and leisurely. Sometimes they even pull the brakes. Therefore, that wish, that determination can only truly become reality when the entire apparatus, the entire system is directed towards the same goal. That is, "The Ministry of Military Affairs, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Justice/Three Ministries agree to serve the people" then it is okay.
