Expected questioning of officials' appointments, projects costing thousands of billions

There is no specific list of proposed Ministers for the National Assembly to choose for questioning this session. The Secretary General of the National Assembly only sent to the delegates 5 groups of issues to choose from for questioning such as solutions to handle loss-making projects, rotation and appointment of officials, etc. Any Minister can be on the "hot seat".

Secretary General of the National Assembly Nguyen Hanh Phuc has sent a ballot to ask for delegates' opinions on the planned group of questions to prepare for the first question-and-answer session of the 14th National Assembly term (to take place next week).

The question paper does not propose a list of ministers and industry leaders who must speak, but instead proposes five groups of issues for delegates to choose from.

Members of the Government of this term will answer questions for the first time at the 2nd session of the National Assembly (photo: Quochoi.vn).
