You should tackle one thing at a time.

(Baonghean) - The "everlasting" issues continued to be "hot" topics at this session of the Provincial People's Council. I say "everlasting" because these issues have been raised by delegates and petitioned for by voters numerous times in previous sessions, but they remain unresolved. The "hot" topic is probably only heated within the conference forum.

In real life, those issues and matters have largely "cooled down." Of course, "cooled down" doesn't mean they've been resolved, that the difficulties and obstacles have been eased, or that the people's worries, questions, and frustrations have been reduced. Rather, "cooled down" here refers to the cooling of hearts and minds, the cooling of enthusiasm in many people, because repeated proposals and suggestions have yielded no results, leading to discouragement. This is understandable, as no one continues doing something pointless indefinitely.

To be frank and honest, this might hurt and even offend the people's representatives, but it's a reality that needs to be faced in order to find effective solutions to meet the expectations of the people at each session of the Provincial People's Council. We must ensure that after each session, within a relatively short time, a number of issues and matters are thoroughly resolved, creating concrete and practical changes in the socio-economic development of the province. Some difficulties and obstacles in people's lives should be removed to alleviate the burden of making a living that is increasingly weighing on many families. Perhaps, after each session, the representatives should unanimously select a number of key issues to focus on, monitor, and inspect.Monitor the handling and resolution process until a final result is reached.

First and foremost, we should prioritize long-standing, unresolved issues that are causing significant public concern, such as the reimbursement of rural low-voltage power grids or matters directly related to the lives of the majority of the population, such as poverty alleviation and rural development. Alternatively, we should focus on issues that, once resolved, will create momentum and provide impetus for rapid, strong, and sustainable development in all aspects. Currently, however, everything is discussed, raised, proposed, and suggested, encompassing many aspects, issues, and problems, yet none are definitively resolved. Consider the 90-page report on the results of addressing voter and People's Council delegate recommendations before the 10th session; the results of addressing promised issues and solutions presented during the direct questioning session of the 10th session; The results of the recommendations from the monitoring and survey teams of the Standing Committee and the committees of the Provincial People's Council show that the workload is enormous, but the quality of resolving those recommendations is not as "enormous," and very few have yielded final results.

Therefore, a change in approach is necessary; otherwise, the people will doubt the competence and effectiveness of the representatives. Voters will believe that the representatives lack responsibility and empathy for what they have faced and are facing in their daily lives. After all, not all representatives live the same lives as the majority of the population. Lack of shared circumstances makes it difficult to have similar thoughts and actions. Therefore, the people's representatives must put themselves in the people's shoes to consider and resolve all matters related to the people. Each session of the People's Council must become an opportunity to improve all aspects of people's lives.

Each issue should be resolved one at a time. We shouldn't let each session of the People's Council bring up issues and problems that force voters to repeat the age-old refrain: "We know all this already... it's so frustrating... we've talked about it endlessly!"
