"Unity" of village cadres - Why not?
(Baonghean) - Mr. Nguyen Xuan Dinh - Head of Tan Thang Hamlet, Dong Hop Commune (Quy Hop) smiled when I expressed my wish to meet the Party cell secretary. He said: "I am also the Party cell secretary, if necessary I will call another comrade in the Party Committee for the journalist to meet!". It turns out that this hamlet has implemented the "unified" regime that is being piloted at the commune level in some localities.
Question: Is it often difficult or convenient to "take on" two positions alone? Answer: Both, but the advantages are still basic! Then the Secretary of Tan Thang hamlet added that, first of all, when encountering an emergency, he can "decide" quickly. In cases where collective opinions need to be sought, the hamlet leader still proactively handles it in accordance with the majority opinion. In the past, sometimes when dealing with the same problem or situation, the Party cell secretary and the hamlet chief either gave conflicting opinions, or would be considerate and avoid it for fear of losing "internal solidarity". Now that it is "2 in 1", the direction and management work is more decisive and faster... But will there be a situation of "arbitrariness and authoritarianism"? According to Mr. Nguyen Sy Que - Party cell secretary and hamlet chief of Dong Ban hamlet (Dong Hop commune, Quy Hop district), it is difficult for this to happen at the hamlet level! Because the person assigned the "unified" role must first be aware of himself; Secondly, there are also the Party Committee, cadres of the mass organizations around. Not to mention the neighborly and kinship relationships. As for the difficulties? Both the Party cell secretaries and hamlet chiefs mentioned above in Dong Hop commune affirmed that if one person "shoulders" both roles, it will of course be more difficult and more arduous. But if there is a sense of responsibility and enthusiasm, it will be much more favorable.
According to Ms. Nguyen Thi Nga - Standing Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of Dong Hop commune, this commune has 15 hamlets, but only 2 hamlets, Tan Thang and Dong Ban, have implemented the "unified" regime. It can be clearly seen that one person holding both the positions of Party cell secretary and hamlet chief has many advantages in leadership and management. Not to mention, when one person receives an allowance for both positions (more than 2.2 million VND/month), he/she has more conditions to concentrate on work. However, for hamlet cadres with weak capacity, it is difficult to complete the work, so it requires the person in charge to have capacity, good health and a "team" that is enthusiastic about public work.
It is known that according to Decision 14/2014 dated27/1/2014The provincial People's Committee issued a system for hamlet (village) level, including 5 positions: Party cell secretary, hamlet (village) chief, village team leader, police officer (also deputy hamlet), hamlet (village) health worker. In addition, organizations such as the Fatherland Front, veterans, youth union, women's union, the elderly... if the concurrent regime is not implemented, the hamlet (village) cadre apparatus is truly "powerful"! Should it be possible to streamline according to the "unified" regime as in the 2 hamlets mentioned above in Dong Hop commune? This is also something that needs to be considered and evaluated early for effectiveness so that it can be widely replicated?
