National Assembly Deputy Le Quang Huy informed voters of the results of the 5th session of the 14th National Assembly from May 21 to June 14, and announced that the recommendations of voters of Tuong Duong district to the National Assembly delegation have been forwarded to relevant authorities and sectors for consideration and handling.

After listening to the report of the provincial National Assembly representative, the commune voters expressed their agreement with the results of the session and at the same time made many recommendations on issues of concern.

Voter Lo Thanh Binh said that he himself was 81% infected with Agent Orange. According to the voter, the State has a policy of repairing houses for those who participated in the war and contributed to the revolution, but in the commune there are still many people who have not benefited from this policy. Therefore, the voter requested that the authorities pay more attention.

Voter Lo Van Quyet reflected on the situation that some officials have not been diligent in staying close to the grassroots, have not promptly listened to and accepted the people's recommendations, causing a loss of trust among the people. Therefore, voters hope that officials at all levels and sectors must be close to the people, listen to the people, create a high consensus, so that all policies of the Party and State can be implemented, in order to develop the local economy and society.

After receiving voters' recommendations, delegate Nguyen Huu Cau - Director of Nghe An Provincial Police directly answered voters' concerns within his authority.

Sharing the difficulties that Yen Hoa people are facing regarding electricity and roads, delegate Cau suggested that Tuong Duong district study and allocate investment funds for some important roads and projects in the area, based on the Government's regulations for mountainous districts, to help the commune change its appearance.

Regarding the issue of low allowances for deputy-level officials and part-time officials, delegate Nguyen Huu Cau said that the Party and State are vigorously implementing Resolution 6 of the Central Committee on streamlining the apparatus, especially from now until 2020, reducing the payroll by at least 10%.

With such a huge number of apparatus, it is understandable that the budget regime is small. The delegate also acknowledged that in the above difficult context, the village, hamlet and semi-professional cadres still try to complete their tasks excellently, and at the same time hoped that each cadre would continue to stay close to the grassroots, care for the people, and bring the Party and State's policies and guidelines into people's lives.

Regarding the issue of job creation for children in mountainous areas after graduation, delegates suggested that people change their mindset, be proactive, creative, and find jobs for themselves, not necessarily working in state agencies.
