At group 7, delegate To Van Thu -The Vice Chairman of the People's Council of Quynh Luu district highly appreciated the results of the socio-economic situation in the first 6 months of 2018, however, delegates still had many concerns. Specifically, the situation of tax arrears, the surplus capital increased by 258 billion compared to 2017 and was higher than the annual budget revenue of a district. With this data, delegates also recommended that it is necessary to find the cause and direct more drastic measures to reduce tax arrears, not to generate new debts. The current shortage of classrooms at all levels is relatively large, solutions to overcome this situation are still difficult, the state does not have enough budget to support localities in construction. "Should there be specific regulations to mobilize resources to meet the needs of learning as well as classrooms at all levels?"

In particular, the delegate also said that in recent years, the Electricity sector has made great efforts to build stations and strengthen power lines. However, the current electricity situation is very weak and cannot meet the needs of many segments of the population. Quynh Luu has 7-8 communes that do not have enough electricity for daily use during peak hours, affecting people's production. Therefore, Vice Chairman of the People's Council of Quynh Luu District, To Van Thu, also suggested that there should be practical solutions to solve the problem of weak electricity to promote socio-economic development in the coming time.

Also related to the electricity issue, delegate Le Duc Phat - Dien Chau district unit proposed that the electricity sector coordinate with Dien Chau district to completely return the power grid to the cooperative, to the people and resolve the problems in the process of completing documents and procedures for the people. Meanwhile, 100% of Dien Chau people have handed over the power grid to the electricity sector, however, after 3-4 years, this problem has not been resolved and the electricity is getting weaker and weaker.

Delegate Nguyen Nhu Khoi - Member of the Provincial Party Committee, Director of the Provincial Radio and Television Station requested the Provincial People's Committee and the Electricity sector to issue documents with full and specific instructions on the procedures for returning the power grid, clearly defining the responsibilities of each sector, individual, and conditions and standards.

Explaining issues related to electricity, Mr. Bang Hong Hien - Deputy Director of Nghe An Electricity Company said that although the Electricity sector has received the rural power grid, actively mobilized capital, but due to difficulties in mobilizing capital to renovate the rural power grid, meeting the demand is still limited.

Speaking at the group discussion, delegate Cao Thi Hien - Member of the Provincial Party Committee, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Council said that the direction of cooperative transformation is still slow and ineffective, and internal credit activities in cooperatives are at risk of collapse if not strictly managed.
