Ha Tinh: Ky Anh completes first phase of compensation for marine environmental incident

The first phase of compensation for fishermen shows the high level of democracy at the grassroots level. There has not been any question from the people.

On November 26, Ky Anh district, Ha Tinh province completed the first compensation payment to 2,427 people affected by the marine environmental incident with an amount of over 100 billion VND.

The implementation of the first phase of compensation for fishermen shows that Ky Anh district has promoted the spirit of democracy at the grassroots level. After completing the first phase of compensation, there has not been any question from the people, because before that, the people had discussed and participated in giving opinions to come to the final decision. Ky Anh district has followed the correct implementation process, ensuring fairness and transparency in the process of completing procedures and paying compensation for damages to fishermen.

Households complete procedures to receive compensation for marine environmental incidents.

Mr. Bui Quang Hoan, Chairman of the People's Committee of Ky Anh district said: "We believe that the most important thing is to compensate the people, which is very difficult, so we must promote responsibility as well as democracy at the grassroots level and empower the people based on state regulations, so that people can self-classify, fight and agree with each other, which subjects are entitled to benefits and which subjects are not, avoiding the phenomenon of taking advantage of, applying and exploiting state policies".

At the payment point of Ky Hai commune, many people after receiving compensation expressed their intention to invest, buy fishing gear, and renovate boats to continue going out to sea. Fisherman Nguyen Dinh Dien, in Ky Hai commune, said: "The steps from the grassroots level to the compensation price for the people have been satisfactory, and now that the people have received the money, they are very excited and will invest in production and improve the environment."

Similarly, in other communes also affected by marine environmental incidents such as Ky Thu, Ky Xuan, Ky Van, Ky Tho... after receiving compensation, fishermen have considered investing, renovating ponds or opening new jobs in a sustainable way, preventing risks, improving production and business efficiency, and stabilizing their lives./.
