Need to arrange and streamline the apparatus in communes and hamlets

(Baonghean) - Reflecting to the Standing Committee of Do Luong District Party Committee, many secretaries, deputy secretaries of Party cells and Party committee members of 15 Party Committees of communes in the west of the district were upset because the apparatus was too cumbersome and the allowances were low.

At the dialogue between the Standing Committee of Do Luong District Party Committee and about 400 secretaries, deputy secretaries of Party cells and Party committee members of 15 Party Committees of communes in the west of the district, many issues were clarified.

The extremely topical issue mentioned is that the number of people taking on positions in communes and hamlets is still too cumbersome, many people have no work to do; while the budget for paying benefits for this team is large, but for each individual it is too low, there are even positions in hamlets that do not have benefits. On the other hand, due to the arrangement of many people and the functions of some organizations overlapping, creating mutual reliance, pushing and shoving, affecting the common work.

From the series of issues raised above, some opinions suggested that the Standing Committee of Do Luong District Party Committee should arrange, assign and streamline some positions in communes and hamlets. Mr. Nguyen Thai Sy - Secretary of Yen Dinh Hamlet Party Cell, Yen Son Commune cited that in some positions such as justice - civil status, land administration - construction - environment, 2 people are currently assigned, but in reality only 1 person is needed; or 3 positions of agricultural civil servant, agricultural extension, veterinary should also be arranged in the direction of 1 agricultural civil servant to concurrently take on the remaining 2 jobs.

Besides, the semi-professional team at the commune level is still too large and needs to be considered to perform some part-time positions.
