Handles some key issues well
According to the roadmap required by the Central Government, before October 31, 2024, provinces and cities must submit plans for the arrangement of district and commune-level administrative units for the 2023-2025 period to the Ministry of Home Affairs for submission to the Government before submitting to the National Assembly Standing Committee for approval for implementation. Nghe An province has directed resolutely and strived to complete the work at each level on schedule to submit to the Government the Project for the arrangement of district and commune-level administrative units in Nghe An province for the 2023-2025 period in June 2024.

Currently, the Party Committee, the government and the entire political system from the district to the grassroots level are focusing on closely following the work roadmap to implement 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 of 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 reorganization. However, through information gathering from the grassroots, this work still has some concerns, especially the arrangement of cadres and 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 developing a plan to arrange cadres and civil servants in a public, transparent and objective manner. The viewpoint in arranging cadres and civil servants is to take professional qualifications, political qualifications and practical capacity as "hard" criteria based on the results of reviewing and evaluating cadres and civil servants 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 the 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 redundant cadres, civil servants and facilities.
According to the opinions of localities, the Government has issued a policy of early retirement for redundant officials 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 officials and civil servants to retire early, in order to soon stabilize the apparatus.
