Slow to resolvemany shortcomings

The issue that many voters are concerned about, saying that they have made many recommendations but have not been addressed, is that some positions such as Vice Chairman of the Commune Elderly Association, Deputy Secretary of the Hamlet Party Cell, Deputy Branch of the Unions, although all are elected through congresses, the State has no regulations or policies; currently, each commune allocates local budget to support at many levels of 400, 500, 700 thousand VND/person/month, creating an imbalance in policy, causing concern among the team.

Voters in many localities recommended that the Provincial People's Council should study and issue policies for this group, creating fairness and unity throughout the province.

Referring to the laxity in forest management, Mr. Nguyen Dinh Nhi - Chairman of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Giang Son Tay commune, stated that in the commune, the situation of buying, selling, and transferring forest land is happening freely, making people upset.

Also mentioning the issue of forest management and protection, Mr. Dang Van Toan - Chairman of Dai Son Commune People's Committee, suggested that the province should regulate the collection of forest planting fees, because in reality, forest planters do not have to pay any fees, while when a forest fire occurs, the entire population and all forces are mobilized to participate in fire fighting and forest protection.

Many voters also reflected on the inadequacies in the mechanism and policies to support cement for new rural construction, which are still "leveling" between disadvantaged and favorable communes, small and large-scale communes; the province still owes a reward policy for communes reaching the rural finish line.

There are also concerns about the unfinished irrigation system investment project in Tan Son commune since 2006, affecting the water supply for local production; environmental protection fees of stone mining enterprises in Tru Son commune are not deducted for the locality to repair and renovate roads; public investment losses are still too large...

There is a policy to support agricultural output.

This morning's meeting with voters of the Provincial People's Council delegates was organized on a thematic basis, focusing on two draft resolutions to be submitted at the 5th session of the 17th Provincial People's Council.

Participating in giving comments on the draft Resolution on a number of policies to support agricultural and rural development in Nghe An province, Mr. Nguyen Cong Thang - Secretary of the Party Committee of Thuong Son commune said that in the current period, when pig farming is developing strongly, supply exceeds demand, on average each person consumes 3 pigs, the Provincial People's Council should not issue a policy to support reserve sows.

Also related to this draft resolution, Mr. Nguyen Ba Tan - Chairman of Tan Son Commune People's Committee recommended that the province should not abandon the policy of supporting multi-function plows, because currently the people's demand is still very large, especially for cultivating fertile land.

Meanwhile, Chairman of the District Farmers' Association Nguyen Hong Xuan said that the policies to support agricultural and rural development are still too fragmented and some policies do not reach the people; for example, in this draft resolution, there is a policy to support the construction of net houses over 1,000 m²and no more than 200 million VND/support object, farmers cannot afford to do it.

Mr. Thai Dinh Linh - Chairman of the Fatherland Front of Hoa Son commune and many opinions also proposed to the Provincial People's Council to replace the support for production development as before with support for consumption and solving output for products; when output products are cleared and sell well, it will inevitably promote production.

Regarding the draft Resolution regulating the content and level of funding to ensure the monitoring and social criticism activities of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee and socio-political organizations in Nghe An province, many voters also requested that the Provincial People's Council should stipulate a unified level of operating funding for the whole province; at the same time, clarify which level is responsible for spending the budget to ensure the activities.

On behalf of the Provincial People's Council delegates, Mr. Hoang Viet Duong - Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Council responded to the recommendations mentioned by the voters. The Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Council also informed that the upcoming policy of the Central Government will allocate operating expenses to mass organizations. When this policy is implemented, it will be implemented throughout the province, which will certainly overcome the current shortcomings.

Mr. Hoang Viet Duong also accepted many valid recommendations from voters related to the support policy for building greenhouses over 1,000 square meters, and continued to maintain the support policy for multi-function plows.

Regarding the proposal to support the settlement of output for agricultural products, Mr. Duong suggested that voters, based on practical experience at the grassroots level, continue to make specific recommendations to all levels on how to support the settlement of output to ensure the most appropriate and effective solutions./.
