“Currently, Cua Lo town has 5/6 units assigned from 3 to 11 positions (except the Center for Culture, Sports and Communication which is assigned 18 positions). These units have different functions and tasks, so it is very difficult to rearrange them to ensure the provision of public services. We propose that the Department of Home Affairs and the Provincial People's Committee have appropriate general guidelines to ensure the conditions for providing public services in each locality” - Chairman of Cua Lo town People's Committee Doan Tien Dung proposed.
