According to the Minister, the policy of establishing Thanh Lang craft village industrial cluster is completely in line with the socio-economic development plan of Vinh Phuc province, in accordance with the provisions of the law and has a very high consensus of the people. 204/206 people agreed to receive compensation and support, and the compensation and support policy for people at that time was completely in accordance with the provisions of the law. After the discussion, Minister Mai Tien Dung affirmed that this is a complicated matter that has lasted for more than ten years. "The resolution has not met the people's requirements and is not in the right spirit, and has not considered the root of the problem," said Mr. Dung.
However, according to the Minister, there are still some problems related to Thanh Lang Industrial Park. First of all, it was implemented since 2005 but has not been put into operation yet, leaving an area of more than 92 thousand square meters unused, causing waste of the country's resources and a mistake towards the people.
Second, during the implementation of the procedure, there were some mistakes such as not sending the land recovery decision to each household. In addition, there was the issuance of an official dispatch that was not in accordance with the province's direction, causing people to not fully understand. "The decision to convert the land area in the industrial cluster to residential land was for the wrong purpose and was not within the authority," said Mr. Dung.
According to Mr. Dung, the above violations and errors were the fault of the Chairman of the People's Committee of Binh Xuyen district and the Chairman of the People's Committee of Thanh Lang commune. "We must affirm that. The 6 representatives of the households here also did not have any comments reflecting signs of embezzlement, corruption, or taking advantage of positions and powers to commit wrongdoings for personal gain or group interests," said Mr. Dung.
According to Minister Dung, the working session with Thanh Lang citizens was very transparent, very public, no one hid anything, no one defended anyone, no cover-up, no ambiguity. According to Mr. Dung, with the mistakes and shortcomings of the district leaders, of the town leaders, he requested the provincial authorities to direct the inspection and clarification.
“Whatever the violation or shortcomings are, we will consider disciplinary action. For things that are not yet disciplinary, we will learn from them. For things that are wrong, we will apologize to the people. Apologize properly, it’s okay. I think if the commune chairman did something wrong, the provincial chairman should apologize because it involves the work of managing cadres,” said Minister Dung.
The Minister and Head of the Government Office suggested that it is necessary to promptly overcome existing problems to put the Thanh Lang craft village industrial cluster into operation in 2016.
