Meanwhile, voter Nguyen Van Thang expressed his frustration about electricity prices. “People’s lives are still difficult and electricity bills are too high. In business, the more people buy, the lower the price, but in electricity, the more electricity is bought and used, the higher the price. It is very inappropriate,” said Mr. Thang.

Some voters in Bac Son commune also expressed their opinions on the stagnation of the project to restore the Luong Son family historical relic site. This project started in 2009, but after 10 years it is still not completed. Currently, the project has only built the roof, many items such as the foundation, campus... have not been implemented yet.

At the conference, many voters expressed their excitement with the current anti-corruption work. Voters asked the Central and local governments to continue to strengthen inspection and examination work to deal with this problem. Especially for construction projects... After voters' opinions, representatives of departments, branches, localities and National Assembly deputies directly explained right in the hall.
