At the conference, secretaries, village chiefs, and heads of the Front's working committees of 127 villages and hamlets of Con Cuong district frankly shared their concerns, questions, and worries about the current situation of grassroots cadres, and about party building and government building.

From there, delegates also proposed measures and recommendations to overcome limitations and outstanding, urgent problems at the grassroots level.

The content reflected by many secretaries and village chiefs is the difficult situation in developing party members and creating a source of grassroots cadres; there are even many cases where organizations assign tasks, trust and elect people to be secretaries, village chiefs or heads of associations and unions but they refuse to do it or do not want to do it.

Besides, the aging of the cadres at the village and commune level is increasing, while it is very difficult to find young successors because most of the young people go to work far away.

As evidence of this issue, Ms. Ngan Minh Tien - Secretary of the Tan Hop village Party Cell, Luc Da commune said: "The average age of the Tan Hop Party Cell is currently very high, and it is difficult to recruit new members. The young generation is not interested in working at the grassroots level; I myself have been the Party Cell Secretary for 4 terms but I have not been able to retire because I have not found a successor."

Delegates also reflected that the strengthening and rotation of district cadres to communes still has cases where their capabilities have not been promoted and expectations of the grassroots have not been met; the activities of mass organizations in some places are still superficial and lack practical depth.

In addition, the delegate also said that there is still a situation where commune-level cadres are bureaucratic, distant from the masses, and not close to the grassroots, so many people do not want to be village cadres. In some localities, cadres still drink alcohol during working hours; drug abuse, cattle disease, gambling still exist; the distribution of rice to some subjects participating in forest protection and planting is not correct...

Therefore, delegates suggested that superiors further tighten inspection, supervision and urging work to improve the effectiveness of task performance of grassroots cadres, avoiding the situation of "the Party Committee praises but the people criticize".

Many delegates agreed and proposed implementing the model of Party cell secretary concurrently being village and hamlet chief to create conditions for unity in management and leadership at the grassroots level.

Along with recommendations on shortcomings, the team of secretaries, village chiefs and heads of the Front's working committee of Con Cuong district also acknowledged the efforts and attempts of the district government in recent times.

The Standing Committee of the District Party Committee and the District People's Committee have paid close attention to the grassroots, creating many changes in socio-economic development. People are expecting to continue to have positive changes in the coming time.

After listening to the feedback and comments of the grassroots cadres of the villages and hamlets, representatives of relevant departments and branches of Con Cuong district discussed and answered in detail each content and issue raised by the delegates.

Comrade Nguyen Dinh Hung - Secretary of Con Cuong District Party Committee thanked the delegates for their frank sharing and comments; affirmed that the Standing Committee of the District Party Committee, leaders of the District People's Committee and relevant departments and offices will make efforts to coordinate and direct the grassroots Party Committees and authorities to gradually resolve and remove the issues that the village and hamlet cadres and people are concerned about, in order to consolidate the prestige and enhance the practical effectiveness in the leadership and direction of the Party Committees and grassroots authorities.
