Overcoming difficulties
On behalf of the National Assembly Delegation No. 3, delegate Thai Thi An Chung - Member of the Provincial Party Committee; Deputy Head of the Standing Delegation of the National Assembly Delegation of Nghe An province - acknowledged the suggestions and feedback from the people. Based on the opinions of the voters, the National Assembly Delegation of the province will propose to the competent authorities to resolve the issues in accordance with the law.
Regarding voters' suggestions concerning the operation of a two-tiered government system, Comrade Thai Thi An Chung emphasized: For the first time in nearly 80 years, based on the Party's major policy, the National Assembly decided to transform the local government model from a three-tiered to a two-tiered system - this is a historic reform.
However, the initial implementation process inevitably faced difficulties and obstacles. Over the past period, the National Assembly, the Government, and all levels and sectors have focused on solutions to overcome these difficulties.
Accordingly, the National Assembly has passed many laws, amended the Constitution, and revised laws to suit the operation of a two-tiered government system. The 10th session of the 15th National Assembly will continue to dedicate time to discussing the improvement of the legal system for two-tiered local government.
Regarding Nghe An province, the province has actively worked to improve and streamline its organizational structure, implementing solutions for personnel placement and effective utilization of commune-level headquarters when operating under a two-tiered government system. At the same time, the province hopes voters will understand that, given the current budgetary constraints, communes inheriting the old headquarters must ensure adequate working conditions.
The Deputy Head of the Provincial National Assembly Delegation also stated that the Government is directing the continued administrative reform, promoting online public services, and streamlining administrative procedures regardless of administrative boundaries to facilitate convenience for citizens.
Regarding opinions and suggestions on other issues, the National Assembly delegation of Nghe An province requested that the competent authorities promptly pay attention to and resolve them in order to ensure the legitimate rights and interests of the people.
