After listening to delegate Nguyen Thanh Hien report on the results of the 5th session of the 14th National Assembly and the country's socio-economic development in the first 6 months of 2018, voters of Ha Son commune expressed their high agreement with the innovations and frankly made recommendations on issues of concern.

Voter Le Van Thanh - Chairman of Ha Son Commune People's Committee said that currently, according to the 2013 Land Law, each household is only allowed 2 hectares of agricultural production. However, to increase crop productivity when sugarcane is the main crop, and at the same time build large-scale fields in Ha Son Commune, a large land fund is needed; but due to limited land area, people face many difficulties. Therefore, voters recommend increasing the land limit to be suitable and ensure farmers feel secure in production and economic development.

Voters of Ha Son commune also expressed concerns about the implementation of Resolution 6 of the Central Committee.“Some issues on continuing to innovate and reorganize the political system to be streamlined and operate effectively and efficiently” with the content of merging communes, villages, and hamlets; unifying village and hamlet titles, minimizing the number of village and hamlet officials...

According to regulations, Ha Son commune will be merged to have only 4 hamlets/1000 households. The merger of hamlets causes many problems in community cultural activities in hamlets such as the distance between hamlets is quite far, the hamlet center cannot be determined, and difficulties in managing residential areas...

Therefore, voters recommend that relevant authorities should flexibly adjust this regulation to suit the practical situation in localities.

At the meeting, voters also reflected many other opinions such as: Need to pay attention to the quality of education for students in mountainous areas; policies and regimes for ethnic minorities; building facilities such as clinics and schools to better serve the people; issues of agricultural land...

Speaking at the meeting with voters, Mr. Nguyen Thanh Hien highly appreciated the economic, political and social results that Ha Son commune has achieved in recent times.
