Only streamlining the payroll can increase salaries for officials and civil servants.

Streamline the payroll to use the salary of 2 "freeloaders" to pay 1 person who actually works. Surely then the salary will be high.

Never before has our administrative and career apparatus been as bloated and cumbersome as it is today. After decades of streamlining the payroll, the number of focal points, units, and payrolls has not only decreased but also tended to increase, "squeezing" one place "bloating" another.

As evidence, according to the National Assembly's Supervision Report, in the period from 2011 to 2016, the number of administrative units under ministries and ministerial-level agencies increased by 28 units, and the number of administrative units under general departments increased by 822 units.

According to the Ministry of Home Affairs, of the more than 24,000 people who have been laid off since 2015, more than 21,000 have retired before the age.

Thus, the reduction of focal points and personnel that we have implemented is ineffective. We have not eliminated from the apparatus weak and incompetent officials and civil servants, who “go to work with an umbrella in the morning and come home with an umbrella in the evening”. In reality, there are too many units where 1 working person “carries” 2-3 idlers. The reason for the situation of increasing the number of reductions is due to the situation of favoritism and group interests, so it is extremely difficult to cut down.

Recently, the Ministry of Home Affairs has requested ministries, branches and localities to develop a Job Position Project. In fact, administrative agencies and organizations have built it in accordance with the prescribed form, describing in detail the job positions and competency framework according to the list of the Ministry of Home Affairs, with full content as required. But the result is that there is not a single redundant position, there are even too many vacant positions, currently many civil servants and public employees still have to hold multiple positions, overloaded with work...

Everyone sees that the salary scale system is complicated and outdated, the salary and income management mechanism has many shortcomings; the salary policy of the State agency is not satisfactory, but everyone tries to find a way to get a position in the State agency. The group of people who depend on and parasitize the State agency system to make things difficult for the people and businesses has also increased. These people live mainly on "illegal" means, on bonuses, and on envelopes, and do not care about their salary.

Not to mention, many projects, works, companies, and enterprises with State investment capital have been in a state of prolonged loss, but the salaries of leaders of State enterprises are too high compared to the production and business efficiency of the enterprises... These shortcomings come from the mechanisms and policies themselves, and the key is from the people themselves.

In order for salary to truly be a factor in promoting labor productivity and attracting talented and capable people to the State agencies, a breakthrough salary policy is needed. However, in what direction should salary reform be conducted when the apparatus is increasingly bloated? The first and simplest answer that everyone can see is to rearrange the administrative apparatus and streamline the payroll.

Without streamlining the payroll, it will be very difficult to reform salaries. When the economic potential is available, the State has the right to choose truly talented people to work to serve the system, serve the people... only then can we hope for the country to change. As it is now, most of the State budget is only used to support the apparatus, the part spent on investment for development is increasingly limited, and no national financial resource can bear it./.
