Currently, the Party Committee, the government and the entire political system from the district to the grassroots are focusing on closely following the work roadmap to deploy on schedule. Accordingly, the collection of voters' opinions on the arrangement of administrative units will be completed on May 5, 2024; the People's Council at the commune level will meet to approve. The district is expected to approve the Project to arrange commune-level administrative units for the period 2023-2025 before May 28, 2024 to report to the province.
The proactive, systematic and decisive leadership and direction at all levels are creating a common consensus among cadres, civil servants and people on the policy of administrative unit arrangement. However, through grasping information from the grassroots, this work still has some concerns, especially the arrangement and assignment of cadres, civil servants and the settlement of redundant cadres and civil servants after the merger.
Regarding this issue, comrade Phan Van Tuyen - Deputy Secretary of the District Party Committee, Chairman of the People's Committee of Yen Thanh district said: Yen Thanh District Party Committee is building a plan to arrange cadres and civil servants in a public, transparent and objective manner. The viewpoint in arranging cadres and civil servants, taking professional qualifications, political qualifications and practical capacity as "hard" criteria based on the results of reviewing and evaluating cadres and civil servants is done seriously. At the same time, ensuring balance and harmony in the apparatus of both merged communes, creating stability in leadership and direction of the implementation of tasks of the unit after the merger.
The Chairman of the People's Committee of Yen Thanh district also affirmed: Yen Thanh district has a policy of mobilizing and rotating competent cadres in the merged units to replace those who are not suitable for the new work requirements in the units not subject to merger. Along with developing a plan to arrange cadres and civil servants, the District Party Committee also develops a plan to resolve redundant cadres and civil servants based on an objective assessment of factors related to capacity and job position.
Drawing on experience from the 2019-2021 administrative unit arrangement period, in the administrative unit arrangement project for the 2023-2025 period, localities have proactively developed parallel plans to arrange surplus cadres, civil servants and facilities.
And according to the opinions of localities, the Government has issued a policy of early retirement for redundant cadres and civil servants due to administrative unit rearrangement. On that basis, some localities hope that the province will soon develop and issue specific regulations to facilitate the propaganda and mobilization of redundant cadres and civil servants to retire early, in order to soon stabilize the apparatus.
