Voters of Tay Son commune were excited about the activities of the Nghe An National Assembly delegation at the session, and at the same time made many recommendations.

Voters focused on petitioning the National Assembly to pay attention to the unemployment situation of children in mountainous areas after graduating from university and college; infrastructure serving economic development, meeting people's living standards such as electricity and roads; paying more attention to policies to support people in remote areas; considering the age of enjoying policies for the elderly; having a policy to prioritize children in mountainous areas who are full-time students in civil service exams.

Voter Vu No Tu reflected that the lives of people in mountainous areas are facing many difficulties. In recent times, people have received much attention from Party committees and authorities, bringing new projects and new technologies, but the economic models that have been supported to build have not been very effective, making people feel confused. "We do not know what to do to escape poverty" - the voter confided.

Voters are also interested in the fight against corruption, expressing their hope that the Party and State will continue to take drastic and synchronous action to thoroughly resolve the problem and reassure the people.

Voter Ha Ba Xu mentioned issues related to the Law on Militia and Self-Defense Forces, saying that the allowance for the Deputy Commander of the Commune Military Command is still low, and that the operating budget of the commune military is facing many difficulties and is not enough to cover expenses, while the program of activities and work is very large.

Regarding Resolution 6 of the Central Committee on streamlining the apparatus, voter Ha Ba Xu raised concerns about how commune-level cadres will be arranged to work and what kind of work will they undertake when they are merged.

Meanwhile, voter Vu Ba Tua reflected that for people in mountainous areas, life mainly depends on forests. In Tay Son - the commune with the largest protected forest area in the district, many households voluntarily plant forests. However, currently, the payment for forest environmental services for people in mountainous areas is still low, only 2 million VND/household. To encourage people to raise the spirit of protecting forests and protecting their livelihoods, voters suggested that the Party and State pay attention to this urgent issue.

After listening to and accepting voters' recommendations, delegate Nguyen Huu Cau - Director of the Provincial Police Department directly explained the issues voters were concerned about.

Regarding the fight against corruption, delegate Nguyen Huu Cau said that the Law on Anti-Corruption was issued in 2005, and after two amendments, has now been comprehensively amended by the National Assembly, expected to be passed in October 2018.

The delegate affirmed that this is a fierce and arduous struggle, affecting the interests of many organizations, but with the high determination of the Party and State, especially the consensus of the people, the fight against corruption has been and is reaping many successes.

Responding to voters' questions about the Law on Militia and Self-Defense Forces, delegate Cau said that at the 5th session, the National Assembly passed the Law on National Defense, which for the first time recognized the armed forces as including the following subjects: army, police, and militia and self-defense forces.

Therefore, in the coming time, the National Assembly will continue to adjust the Law on Militia and Self-Defense Forces, in order to have a suitable regime for the militia and self-defense forces at the grassroots level. The delegate also suggested that the police force and the militia and self-defense forces of Tay Son commune need to coordinate closely with each other to ensure security and order in the area.

Acknowledging the legitimate aspirations of the people when the problem of production land is increasingly narrowing due to the negative effects of protective forests, Mr. Nguyen Huu Cau clearly stated: "Land is the main means of production, no matter how the planning is, there must be land for people to produce."

The delegate said that at the recent session, the delegation of National Assembly deputies of Nghe An province questioned this issue at the Parliament, and continued to pursue it to the end to have a proper answer for the people.
