Supervisory activities are one of the main functions of the National Assembly and People's Councils as stipulated in the Constitution. The supervisory activities of the National Assembly have been regulated by the Law on Supervision since 2003. However, in reality, the supervisory activities of the National Assembly and People's Councils are stipulated in many documents; despite efforts, the National Assembly and People's Councils have not yet effectively performed their functions; the delegates have not fully performed their responsibilities, and each locality has different supervisory methods... Therefore, when giving additional comments on the draft Law, the delegates focused on clarifying the scope and methods of supervisory activities so that they are effective and do not overlap with other activities; forms of supervision and procedures for issuing documents after supervision; the Law on supervisory activities is closely linked to questioning and explaining, answering questions, and taking votes of confidence, so after supervision, what are the forms of answering, reporting results and handling after supervision?...

Mr. Pham Van Tan - Head of the Provincial National Assembly Delegation spoke

In addition to the above regulations, delegates also proposed to amend some sentences in the law to ensure more accuracy, avoid the situation of citing the original text overlapping with other related laws; regulate the form of thematic supervision to suit the capacity conditions and organization of the People's Councils at district and commune levels...

Comrade Nguyen Xuan Son - Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Council concluded

After listening to the opinions of the delegates, Comrade Nguyen Xuan Son - Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Council accepted the enthusiastic contributions to the draft law; at the same time, assigned the Provincial People's Council Office to fully record the opinions to synthesize and complete the report of comments to submit to the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Council for approval, and together with the National Assembly delegation, report to the National Assembly Standing Committee for consideration and submission to the National Assembly when approving this draft law./.
