12 voters reflected 35 contents

Next, in the spirit of democracy, frankness and responsibility, in addition to appreciating the innovation of the activities of the National Assembly and the Provincial People's Council in recent times towards being closer to the people and taking better care of the people's lives; 12 voters reflected and proposed 35 contents, belonging to 7 groups of issues related to granting Land Use Right Certificates, compensation for site clearance, salary policies and meritorious people...

Expressing his excitement about the policy of salary reform, pension adjustment and social allowance that the National Assembly has just passed, voter Nguyen The Sy (Hamlet 2, Nghi Kieu Commune) also raised concerns that the salary reform and social allowance aim to improve the lives of wage earners, however, currently, consumer prices of some goods have increased, including the health insurance premium for people with average income has also increased compared to before.

Therefore, voters suggest that the National Assembly study and work with the State and Government to strictly control prices, avoiding the situation of "following the flow".

Voter Nguyen Thi Bao (Hamlet 1, Nghi Kieu Commune) reflected on the regulation of retirement age for women at 60 years old, saying that it is not suitable for preschool teachers; she suggested that the National Assembly study and adjust it. Along with that, Ms. Bao suggested that the National Assembly have a policy to allow cooking staff at preschools to receive salaries from the State budget, instead of receiving salaries from socialized "people's support" as is currently the case.

The issue that many voters in Nghi Van and Nghi Kieu communes are interested in and petitioning about is related to the issuance of certificates of land use rights remaining in the locality.

Voter Dang Minh Hue (Hamlet 21, Nghi Van Commune) reported that 9 households exchanged land to build Lim Dam reservoir, but up to now, after 23 years, they have not been granted land use right certificates, affecting the rights of the people.

Along with the above issues, voters also reflected on the shortage of teachers; inadequacies in allowing students to freely take the 10th grade entrance exam in localities; attention to irrigation work, meeting production requirements for people; compensation policies for site clearance related to 500kV power lines...

After voters' recommendations and feedback, leaders of some provincial and Nghi Loc district departments and branches accepted and explained some contents under their authority.

On behalf of the provincial National Assembly delegation, National Assembly delegate Vo Thi Minh Sinh received and explained a number of contents under the authority of the National Assembly.

Regarding the voters' proposal to reduce the retirement age for preschool teachers, delegate Vo Thi Minh Sinh informed that the Ministry of Education and Training is currently drafting the Education Law, which includes the retirement age for teachers at 55 years old; at the same time, she hopes that voters will continue to pay attention and give their opinions during the consultation process to perfect this draft law to be closer to reality.
