Discussions in the group took place seriously and frankly, focusing on key issues that voters and people are concerned about, especially those related to infrastructure, social security, grassroots government operations, resource allocation and improving the effectiveness of state management.

Speaking at the group, delegate Nguyen Duc Hong (Group No. 8) requested that the authorities focus on directing and promptly completing the site clearance of National Highway 7 to ensure implementation progress and traffic safety.

At the same time, he emphasized the need to strengthen solutions to control counterfeit goods, fake drugs, and dirty food - risks that directly affect people's health. According to the delegate, it is necessary to arrange enough forces and means, and resolutely handle violations in this field.

Regarding the two-level local government model, delegate Nguyen Duc Hong reflected on the difficulties in working conditions and facilities at the commune level, especially after the merger. He proposed to study the reallocation of the proportion of revenue from land use rights auctions previously left to the district level in the direction of partially regulating the commune level, in order to create resources for infrastructure investment and improve the operating conditions of the grassroots government.

Sharing the same view, Mr. Vu Tuan Dung - Party Secretary, Chairman of the People's Council of Hop Minh commune, guest delegate said that currently many communes are having to arrange temporary offices at many different locations, causing inconvenience in management and serving the people, besides the facilities are not yet able to meet the requirements.

Therefore, he suggested that in the short term, investment in equipment and working facilities for commune officials should be arranged; in the long term, there should be a master plan and a centralized support mechanism to build commune-level administrative centers according to the "one-stop" model, to better serve people and businesses.

Delegate Hoang Thi Hong Hanh (Group of Delegates No. 9) proposed that the People's Councils at the commune level should be granted separate accounts to be able to perform their functions and tasks in accordance with regulations. At the same time, she recommended that the province soon develop a specific criteria system as a basis for dividing revenue sources and determining budget expenditure tasks, taking into account the scale and characteristics of each locality.

Some other opinions in the group suggested paying attention to handling outstanding debts in new rural construction; having a mechanism to resolve policies for non-professional officials at the commune level; soon establishing a Commune-level Land Clearance Council to be proactive in implementing projects in the area; and land clearance work for the Hanoi - Vientiane expressway section through Nghe An.

The group discussion session recorded many frank and responsible opinions, reflecting the thoughts and aspirations of voters and local authorities. These contents will be summarized and reported at the general discussion session for the Provincial People's Council to consider and propose more appropriate and practical solutions in the management and policy planning in the coming time; compensation for site clearance of the Hanoi - Vientiane expressway project; investment in pumping station systems in the area; the transfer of the Provincial People's Council Resolution on specific mechanisms and policies for Do Luong district (old).

Speaking at the discussion session, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Nguyen Van De acknowledged and accepted the enthusiastic and responsible opinions of the Provincial People's Council delegates; at the same time, directly discussed and clarified a number of contents related to the management and operation responsibilities of the Provincial People's Committee.

The Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee requested communes and wards to focus on implementing the set socio-economic development targets and tasks, paying special attention to organizing land use rights auctions to increase revenue and speed up disbursement of public investment capital in the last 6 months of the year, to contribute to the province's growth target.

Standing Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Council Nguyen Nam Dinh emphasized: In addition to the achieved results, the socio-economic situation still has many difficulties, requiring great efforts and determination in the last 6 months of the year, a pivotal time to end the 2020-2025 term and prepare to enter a new term with great requirements.
