The leaders are not local people to avoid group interests!

The policy of assigning some key leadership and management positions to non-locals is aimed at preventing negativity, corruption, group interests, family relationships, and familiarity...

In addition, this policy also trains and fosters young, promising cadres and planned cadres to create a long-term source of cadres and key leaders. These contents have been clearly shown in Regulation 98/QD-TW of the Party Central Committee, which clearly stipulates the rotation and assignment of cadres.

Recently, it can be seen that the central government has arranged many cases of leaders and managers of ministries, provinces and centrally run cities who are not local people.

In Ho Chi Minh City, this policy has also been implemented, but not much, not thoroughly. And now, with the strong request of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee, from 2020, it is mandatory to arrange some leadership and management positions that are not local people, which is a reasonable and necessary direction.

With this policy, in the coming time, in my opinion, it is necessary to focus on solving the following requirements (regardless of the qualifications and capacity of staff):

The first, ensuring that the assigned staff can create consensus and solidarity with the locality. Normally, leaders and managers come from the grassroots, from the locality and have time to closely follow the local situation.

This cadre is also the one who has more time to be attached and unite better with the local state management apparatus, easily gaining support from the standing committee and standing committee of the local Party Committee to make decisions on local management and operation, ensuring the principle of collective leadership.

Therefore, when sending leaders and managers from other places, they need to be people who understand the locality and have a certain level of attachment or understanding with the people and the locality where they are assigned.

Monday, ensure that leaders and managers brought in from other localities have sufficient authority to lead and manage.

The assigned cadres must be real leaders, capable of mobilizing the collective leadership into common work and local development. Because local leaders and managers must be the ones who bear the highest personal responsibility for the achievements or shortcomings of the collective leadership for that locality.

Only when the above two requirements are ensured will the assigned leaders and managers have the ability to mobilize and unite the collective, ensuring effective leadership and management of the areas and localities they are responsible for.

Dr. Le Van In (former vice principal of the City Cadre School - now the City Cadre Academy):Need feasible solutions

The City's policy of arranging a number of leadership and management positions that are not local people is very good and very welcome, especially when the City is implementing a special mechanism.

In the past, during the feudal period, there were dynasties that applied the practice of appointing officials who were not local and rotating them through terms. At that time, the royal court selected through a national general examination and then selected those who passed to arrange.

In my opinion, to effectively implement the above policy, the city needs to pay attention to the following issues:

The first, it is necessary to clearly identify which leaders and managers are which officials and at what level. Currently, it is necessary to focus on the department, branch, district and county levels.

As for leaders and managers at the ward and commune levels, local people should be in charge. Because leaders and managers at the ward and commune levels need to be close to the people, understand the local situation, and this level is only the executive level.

Monday, calculate the appropriate arrangement mechanism for that leader and manager. That leader is arranged through which form, elected, elected or appointed.

Tuesday, ensuring the source of staff and the work of selection and training to ensure the arrangement principle. Finally, it is necessary to issue regulations and perfect the legal framework on the arrangement of leaders and managers for unified and strict application.

Eliminate appointment of unqualified relatives

Regarding the work of streamlining payroll and restructuring the team of cadres, civil servants and public employees, the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee has just requested heads of departments, branches and sectors and chairmen of district and commune People's Committees to continue to thoroughly grasp, lead, direct and organize the good implementation of policies on this issue.

Specifically, strictly implement the regulations of the Ministry of Home Affairs on not implementing the labor contract regime for professional and technical work in administrative agencies and public service units. Complete the development of job position projects; develop a plan to streamline the payroll by 2021, and resolutely implement the streamlining of the payroll by 2021 according to the plan.

The results of streamlining the payroll will be one of the criteria for evaluating and classifying the annual work results and tenure of the heads of organizations, agencies and units. If agencies and units do not perform well in streamlining the payroll, the heads of the agencies and units will not be evaluated as having completed their tasks excellently.

At the same time, resolutely eliminate the situation of recruiting, appointing, and rotating cadres who are relatives who do not meet the conditions and standards; develop and effectively implement the regime of dismissal, resignation, and termination of work for cadres, civil servants, and public employees with poor qualities, abilities, and who do not fulfill their tasks.

Units must also review, supplement, replace, streamline, rotate, and promptly consolidate cadres, civil servants, and public employees for units that are lacking or do not meet the requirements on standards and conditions according to regulations.

In particular, from 2020, it is mandatory to arrange a number of leadership and management positions that are not local people.
