The report also frankly pointed out that the direction, management, consultation and implementation of some areas were not drastic and slow.

Discipline and administrative discipline of some departments, city-level units and some wards and communes are sometimes not strict; implementation of administrative orders by some cadres and civil servants is sometimes slow, not proactive, and of low quality.

The work of handling petitions for some departments, units, wards and communes, along with some verification teams, is still slow and prolonged; there are still cases that need to be re-directed for resolution.
