On the morning of October 8, National Assembly deputies: Hoang Minh Hieu - Standing member of the National Assembly's Committee for Law; Tran Nhat Minh - Member of the National Assembly's Committee for Law, full-time National Assembly deputy of the National Assembly Delegation of Nghe An province had a meeting with voters of Do Luong district before the 8th session of the 15th National Assembly.

Also attending were representatives of the Departments of Natural Resources and Environment; Agriculture and Rural Development; representatives of the People's Council, People's Committee, and Fatherland Front Committee of Do Luong district.

After listening to the provincial National Assembly delegates announce to local voters the expected content and program of the 8th Session of the 15th National Assembly, voters of Do Luong district made many recommendations to all levels.

Regarding labor, employment and social security, voters of Do Luong district reported that currently, there are many agencies, organizations and individuals working as brokers to send laborers abroad, many of which do not operate as originally committed, causing disadvantages to workers' rights. Voters requested the Government to strictly control and manage this activity.

Voters in Do Luong district expressed concern about the situation of loan sharking, illegal credit, cyber fraud and other crimes that are becoming more complicated and sophisticated. Voters asked the authorities to strengthen timely preventive measures.

Regarding food hygiene and safety, voters in Do Luong district reported that dirty food, unknown origin, and poor quality food appeared in the market, especially near schools in the area. Voters requested that the authorities have strong enough solutions to solve the problem of preventing and combating counterfeit, poor quality, and smuggled goods.

Regarding the issue of education, Mr. Nguyen Tho Van - a voter in Van Dong hamlet (Hien Son commune) reflected that currently, students are using too many different sets of books to study. Each school uses one set, however, when organizing exams, there is only one test, which can cause difficulties in learning for students. In addition, in a family with two sisters, the elder sister cannot let her younger sister use old books because there are exercises printed inside the books, which is wasteful.

Voter Nguyen Tho Van continued to reflect on the situation of production, printing, and trading of textbooks, which still has many shortcomings, affecting the rights of students and users. This is also a recommendation that many voters are interested in and reflected on at the conference. Therefore, Mr. Van recommended that there should be stricter management measures and strict handling of violations in the production and printing of textbooks.

Mr. Phan Van Lai (95 years old), a voter of Hien Son commune, reflected that the payment of pensions and social insurance benefits through personal accounts still has many shortcomings, causing difficulties for people. Especially for policy beneficiaries who are the elderly who do not use smart mobile devices or have many difficulties in using the device as a transaction tool, as well as operating on automatic teller machines (ATMs).

Mr. Pham Van Tuyen - a voter of Hien Son commune expressed his opinion that in Do Luong district in particular, Nghe An province in general, every time cremation services are needed, one has to go all the way to Ha Tinh or Thanh Hoa, which is both tiring and incurs many costs for the family.

Besides, land fund is decreasing, people's life is improving, the need for cremation is increasing, so voters recommend that Nghe An province should soon build a crematorium to serve people's needs.

At the conference, many recommendations related to shortcomings such as granting and changing Land Use Right Certificates in the area were also reflected by voters to National Assembly Deputies and departments and branches.

In addition, voters also made recommendations to National Assembly deputies and departments and branches on related issues such as: construction of transport infrastructure; policies and regimes for people infected with Agent Orange and people with revolutionary contributions; payment of support money for African swine fever; prevention and fight against corruption; issues of school traffic safety; shortcomings in recruitment of public employees and civil servants in the area;...

At the conference, representatives of departments, branches and Do Luong district directly answered and explained some contents of voters' petitions within their authority.

On behalf of the provincial National Assembly delegation, Mr. Tran Nhat Minh answered the issues within his authority. At the same time, he received other opinions and recommendations from voters to forward to the Government, the National Assembly and relevant levels and sectors for consideration and resolution.
