Central Review 4 in Con Cuong: Linking manifestations to specific addresses

(Baonghean) - The spirit of review according to the Resolution of the 4th Central Committee (12th term) was carried out by the mountainous district of Con Cuong with the motto: clearly identifying signs of degradation and "self-evolution" and "self-transformation" within the organization, finding out limitations and shortcomings as a basis for proposing effective solutions associated with the responsibility of each organization and each subject.

Point out the shortcomings and limitations

Through the review according to Resolution 4 of the Central Committee (12th term), the Standing Committee and the Executive Committee of the Con Cuong District Party Committee have seriously acknowledged the shortcomings, limitations and issues that need to be learned from in the leadership and management process.

The shortcomings and limitations identified are linked to specific addresses, which are: Some cadres and party members do not match their actions with their words, and their words and actions are inconsistent between when they are working and when they retire. The most obvious manifestation is the lack of exemplary behavior, arbitrarily abandoning party activities, and not following the assignments of the party cell.

Specifically, from 2011 to 2016, the entire district had 73 party members whose names were removed and expelled from the Party in the units of Bong Khe, Yen Khe, Thach Ngan, Chi Khe, Town, Mau Duc, Binh Chuan... including 5 retired party members.

The phenomenon of cadres and party members violating the principles of democratic centralism, solidarity, and lack of democracy in management and direction was also frankly identified and pointed out by the District Party Committee, such as not strictly complying with the Party's activities and Party cell activities in the Electricity, Post Office, and Telecommunications units...

In some Party cells directly under the grassroots Party Committees, there are still signs of non-compliance with the Party's activities regime, Party members are absent from activities without reason; in normal times, there is high unity, but when preparing for the Party Congress, there are internal complaints such as in the units of Con Cuong town and Chi Khe commune. Some Party Committees, cadres and Party members still suffer from the disease of achievements in the annual evaluation and classification of grassroots Party organizations and Party members.

The most obvious is that some grassroots party organizations do not meet the conditions for recognition as Clean and Strong but still request recognition, such as the Party Committees of the communes: Yen Khe, Mau Duc, Thach Ngan, Agricultural Extension Station...

In addition, the "disease" of not being close to the grassroots, lacking inspection and supervision, not having a firm grasp of the local situation, agencies and units, lacking responsibility for the difficulties, frustrations and legitimate demands of the people, not receiving and resolving people's feedback in a timely manner... are also clearly pointed out in connection with each specific address such as: The people of Thach Son village (Thach Ngan commune) returned to their old place of residence but the officials did not know; the issuance of land use right certificates for 4 households for land acquisition and clearance to build Mon Son Television Station took too long; the payment to the people of Yen Khe commune for the implementation of the tea planting project was prolonged; the people of Yen Hoa village, Lang Khe commune filed a collective lawsuit related to compensation for land acquisition and clearance...

It is noteworthy that some leaders of organizations have implemented a number of policies and strategies that have caused waste and loss of state finances, low or ineffective public investment, purchasing and using public assets beyond regulations, and arbitrary spending.

Specifically: The case related to compensation for land acquisition for the road to Khe Kem waterfall; the case of using support money for poor households in Luc Da; the selection of market constructions in the communes of Mau Duc, Yen Khe, Thach Ngan; the direction and implementation of the Dan Lai ethnic resettlement project in Thach Ngan commune; the construction of the district stadium or the untimely sale of confiscated forest products by the district Forest Protection Department and Pu Mat National Park; the poor management and use of some self-flowing domestic water works in some communes leading to damage and low efficiency... Some cadres and party members fell into social evils such as participating in gambling in Chau Khe commune, Con Cuong town, Tax Department, Population Center or cadres and party members used drugs in the Party Committee of the district government agency...

According to comrade Nguyen Dinh Hung - Secretary of Con Cuong District Party Committee: Pointing out the manifestations with specific addresses is a way to help collectives and individuals reflect on themselves, clearly recognize their shortcomings and limitations. From there, find solutions to overcome them thoroughly, help each other to improve and progress together, and excellently complete the assigned tasks.

After the review, the district focused on strengthening inspection, supervision and publicizing the results of corrections and remedies; strictly implementing the authority and responsibility of the head in temporarily suspending the work of subordinate cadres for inspection when there are signs of violations or delays, stagnation, and inefficiency in performing assigned duties and tasks; promoting the exemplary spirit of cadres and party members, especially leaders, in performing public duties and handling cases of concern to the people...

Review of localities with outstanding and pressing problems

To help localities in the review process boldly "look straight" at shortcomings and limitations to overcome and correct, Con Cuong District Party Committee proactively reviewed and suggested reviewing 5 localities with outstanding, long-standing problems that have not been completely resolved.

For example, in Chi Khe commune, it was a problem of land management; in Lang Khe commune, it was a problem of not grasping information in a timely manner, leading to people filing complaints at higher levels; in Cam Lam commune, there were signs of internal disunity; the direction and operation of the Commune Women's Union Congress was not in the right direction...

Most of the units suggested for review have seriously learned from their experiences, clearly identified shortcomings, reported and provided solutions. For example, in the case of Con Cuong town, regarding the purchase of inefficient 2.5-ton garbage trucks, the town Party Committee accepted responsibility and pointed out the reason for purchasing specialized vehicles without taking into account the fact that the main roads in the area are still narrow, the vehicles cannot reach the place and there are no specialized garbage bins.

Mr. Hoang Cong Oanh - Secretary of the Town Party Committee said: Through this incident, we have learned a lesson in purchasing public assets that must be appropriate to practical conditions. And we have proposed a solution, which is to purchase specialized trash bins for units under the agency block to make it convenient for garbage trucks to collect garbage; deploy for blocks and hamlets to collect manually and bring it to the collection point and currently the locality is also surveying to establish an environmental cooperative to collect waste before loading it onto trucks.

Regarding Don Phuc commune, the Party Committee of the commune frankly identified: The occurrence of deforestation in Sub-region 748, forest land disputes, illegal transfer of forest land 163 (in 2015 and 2016, there were 30 households complaining about forest land disputes, 4 cases of encroachment and civil forest clearance)... was partly due to the fact that some cadres and party members, including some comrades in the Party Committee, were not closely following the villages, lacked inspection and supervision, and did not have a firm grasp of the local situation assigned to them.

Comrade Vi Thanh Hai - Secretary of the Party Committee of Don Phuc commune said: To overcome the above limitations, the locality determined: The heads of the Party Committee and the government need to be more closely and resolute in the work of forest protection and management, land management; strictly handle violations related to land and forests. In addition, coordinate well with the specialized agencies at higher levels to complete and adjust land use right certificates in accordance with the assigned reality; promote propaganda to change people's awareness of forest protection and management, land...

According to comrade Nguyen Dinh Hung - Secretary of Con Cuong District Party Committee: The suggestion of review by the higher-level Party Committee for the grassroots is necessary. Because in addition to promoting and enhancing the self-awareness and honesty of Party members and the exemplary role of leaders, it also contributes to overcoming the situation of deference and avoidance, which is quite common in the current Party organizations.

On the other hand, through self-criticism and criticism, clarifying the contents suggested by superiors will help groups and individuals correctly identify existing problems and limitations.

"Bravery in admitting shortcomings and defects is very important, but the decisive factor is that the collective and individuals who have been suggested to review and self-criticize must propose and implement solutions to overcome and correct them," Comrade Nguyen Dinh Hung emphasized.
