The Government requires strict handling of disruptive behavior at BOT stations.

The Ministry of Public Security is assigned to strictly handle acts of taking advantage of BOT stations to cause public disorder to avoid traffic jams.

Deputy Prime Minister Trinh Dinh Dung has just requested ministries, branches and localities to implement solutions for investment, construction and management of BOT traffic projects.

In the context of many BOT projects lacking from the investment preparation to appraisal and approval stages, the Deputy Prime Minister assigned the Ministry of Transport to review all BOT projects in terms of volume and cost, thereby determining the collection time and service price. The Ministry needs to accelerate the progress of BOT toll collection in the form of automatic non-stop nationwide.

Many drivers paid in small change at Cai Lay toll station to protest the station's location.

To perfect the policy on off-budget investment, the Deputy Prime Minister requested the Ministry of Planning and Investment to amend and supplement decrees to ensure transparent and effective management of investment in PPP projects.

The Ministry of Public Security is assigned to direct local police to strictly handle acts of taking advantage of toll stations to disrupt security and order in order to prevent traffic congestion and ensure social order and safety.

Capital mobilization has many shortcomings, construction time of some projects is prolonged, quality is not up to standard; exploitation and operation of projects are not reasonable, causing frustration among the people.

The reason for this situation is that the legal system on public-private partnership construction investment in general, and BOT contracts in particular, is still lacking and inconsistent. State management of BOT construction investment still has many shortcomings, lacks experience, is not very effective, and toll station planning is unscientific...
