According to Deputy Head of the Central Committee for Mass Mobilization Tran Thi Bich Thuy, in recent times, promoting the role of the people has been paid attention to by Party committees and authorities at all levels through forms such as: implementing democratic regulations; receiving people, having dialogues, resolving people's petitions, complaints and denunciations; soliciting people's opinions on policies, resolutions, programs, and socio-economic projects at all levels...

However, promoting the role of the people in participating in Party and government building, especially the role of the people in fighting, preventing and repelling degradation among cadres and party members, still has many limitations.

Therefore, the state of ideological degradation, bureaucracy, authoritarianism, and lack of closeness to the people of a significant number of cadres and party members has not been pushed back; negative corruption is still serious.

This Decision aims to specify the fourth group of tasks and solutions in implementing the Resolution of the 4th Central Committee (12th tenure) on promoting the role of the people, the Vietnam Fatherland Front, and socio-political organizations to overcome the degradation.

According to Decision No. 99/QD-TW, promoting the role of the people must be carried out extensively and regularly; each Party Committee, Party organization, cadre and Party member, especially the head of the Party Committee, must be exemplary, seriously implement and direct Party Committees at all levels to implement.

The Deputy Head of the Central Committee for Mass Mobilization said: Decision No. 99/QD-TW also clearly stipulates the contents and forms of people's comments and supervision of Party committees, Party organizations, cadres and Party members; the responsibility of Party committees and Party organizations in ensuring that people carry out their comments and supervision tasks; the mechanism for more and wider information disclosure for people to supervise...
