MAKE MORE EFFORTS
Although there have been efforts to improve the quality of activities according to the functions and tasks of the Provincial People's Council, in practice there are still issues that do not satisfy the wishes and determination of the Provincial People's Council and the expectations of voters and people.
For example, in handling citizens' petitions and letters, although the Provincial People's Council has made many innovations and resolutely followed up on the resolution of all levels and sectors, there are still many issues that have been resolved for a long time and given general responses. In addition to the objective factor due to the complexity of voters' petitions such as handling land records and procedures; compensation and site clearance; many voters' opinions related to infrastructure investment, while investment resources are not sufficient, subjectively, there are still departments, sectors and agencies that have not resolved and responded promptly to voters.

In the supervision, questioning and explanation, there are still contents of the Provincial People's Council's conclusions, recommendations and proposals that have not been thoroughly resolved by departments, branches and units.
