However, administrative reform still has many shortcomings and limitations that need to be overcome, of which the most prominent and public-interested one is: In some agencies and units, cadres, civil servants and public employees still violate discipline and administrative discipline, especially civil servants in the fields of land administration, registration, customs... violating public ethics, taking advantage of their positions and powers in the performance of public duties, being disciplined or temporarily detained.
The quality of administrative procedure settlement under the one-stop and one-stop mechanism at some agencies and units is not high: There are still overdue records; the implementation of regulations on apologizing to people when settling overdue administrative procedures is not strict; collecting additional components of records outside of regulations; the collection of fees and charges does not really ensure accuracy and transparency; the rate of online submission and settlement of level 3 and 4 records is low; the digital transformation process in state agencies is still slow...
