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

(Baonghean) - The spirit of self-criticism according to the Resolution of the 4th Central Committee (12th tenure) 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 (term XII), 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 following the Party and cell activities in the Electricity, Post Office, and Telecommunications units...

In some Party cells 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... is 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 granting of land use right certificates to 4 households for land acquisition and compensation 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 compensation...

Notably, 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, procurement and use of public assets beyond regulations, and arbitrary spending.

Specifically: The case related to compensation for land acquisition and clearance of 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 procedures for selling 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 using 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 thoroughly overcome them, 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 correction and improvement; 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 ineffectiveness in performing assigned duties and tasks; promoting the spirit of setting an example of cadres and party members, especially leaders, in performing public duties and handling cases of concern to the people...

Reviewing local issues with outstanding and pressing issues

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, for Chi Khe commune, it was a land management issue; for Lang Khe commune, it was a problem of not grasping information in a timely manner, leading to people filing complaints at higher levels; for 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 explanations and proposed solutions. For example, for the Con Cuong town unit, regarding the purchase of a 2.5-ton garbage truck that was used inefficiently, the town Party Committee accepted responsibility and pointed out the reason for purchasing a specialized vehicle without taking into account that the main roads in the area were still narrow, the vehicles could not reach the place and there were 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 so that garbage trucks can conveniently 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 transferring it to the truck.

Regarding Don Phuc commune, the Party Committee of the commune frankly identified: The deforestation in Sub-zone 748, forest land disputes, illegal transfer of forest land 163 (in 2015 and 2016, 30 households complained about forest land disputes, 4 cases of encroachment and civil forest clearance)... was partly due to some cadres and party members, including some comrades in the Party Committee, not being close to the villages, lacking inspection and supervision, and not having 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 resolutely 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 the land use right certificates in accordance with the assigned reality; promote propaganda to change people's awareness of forest protection and management, land, etc.

According to comrade Nguyen Dinh Hung - Secretary of Con Cuong District Party Committee: The suggestion of the higher-level Party Committee to review 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," emphasized comrade Nguyen Dinh Hung.
