Inadequate assessment of poor households

Petition to National Assembly delegate Lu Van Duc - Chau Hoan commune (Quy Chau) Propose to superiors to increase allowances for part-time cadres at commune and village levels; increase funding and targets for community drug rehabilitation.

The province is drafting regulations on cadres and civil servants. According to the draft document for comments from communes, a type 2 commune is only allowed to have 20 cadres and civil servants (12 cadres and 8 civil servants), and the office department is only assigned 1 civil servant. With such a number of cadres, it is impossible to handle all the work. It is recommended that superiors should stipulate that the office has 2 civil servants and reduce the number of cadres to 11 people.

Regarding the criteria for assessing poor communes, Mr. Lu Dinh Duc said that during the implementation process, the grassroots encountered many shortcomings in the implementation of the regulations of the set of criteria for assessing poor households. He suggested that the Central Government should adjust the set of tools for investigating poor households to suit different mountainous regions.

Sharing the same view, voter Nguyen Van Dung, Dien Lam commune proposed that superiors need to have a consensus to have a scoring toolkit suitable for mountainous areas, thereby providing appropriate and appropriate support to ensure that people enjoy the State's regime and policies fairly.

Voter Loc Thi Cuc, Chau Phong commune, proposed: After the merger of villages, the number of households and population increased, but the level of support for residential areas is still 6 million VND as before the merger. Propose that the province increase the level of support for residential areas to meet and serve the community living needs of the people.

Building suitable job positions for commune-level officials and civil servants
