Building 90 bright spots of grassroots QCDC

In 2018, the work of grassroots democracy regulations continued to be promoted and improved in effectiveness by Party committees, authorities at all levels, agencies and units. At the commune level, the implementation of the grassroots democracy regulations according to Decree 34 is associated with the implementation of local political tasks, promoting the element of publicity so that people know, discuss, decide and supervise socio-economic development plans, new rural programs, works and projects; creating conditions to promote socio-economic development, especially new rural construction.

The expanded direct dialogue between grassroots authorities and people is also an important forum to promote grassroots democracy and people's mastery.

The People's Inspectorate and the grassroots community supervision board operate more specifically and substantially. In 2018, the whole province built 90 bright spots in implementing grassroots community supervision.

The implementation of grassroots QCDC in agencies, units and enterprises has also been enhanced, positively impacting the completion of tasks in each unit; taking care of the rights and interests of civil servants, public employees and workers; gradually overcoming bureaucracy and disregard for workers and subordinates.

Speaking at the conference, in addition to appreciating the leadership and direction of the Party Committee and the implementation of the government, the Fatherland Front and organizations at all levels, agencies and units on grassroots QCDC; Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Le Hong Vinh also pointed out a number of shortcomings and limitations that need to be overcome in the coming time. It is noteworthy that the implementation of grassroots QCDC in the agency and enterprise sector is still limited, and in some places it is still a formality.

Some places have not fully publicized the processes and procedures for resolving issues related to citizens and businesses, such as land use management; construction investment procedures, site clearance compensation, revenues, fees, funds, and policies enjoyed by the people.

There is still a situation where some state management units and enterprises do not attach importance to implementing QCDC in their agencies; especially some leaders still use their "power" and leadership will to impose, even harshly speak to cadres, civil servants and workers; leading to failure to promote the intelligence and contributions of the team for the common task.
