Repairs to the Nguyen Duy Trinh Memorial House will be completed in December 2024.

The document stated: Nghe An Electronic Newspaper (baonghean.vn) issue dated September 25, 2024 has an article"Urgent need to restore comrade Nguyen Duy Trinh's memorial house", which stated: “As one of the main items of the memorial project of comrade Nguyen Duy Trinh, the memorial house of comrade Nguyen Duy Trinh is currently severely damaged in the roof. Although the comrade’s family and clan have made a petition to the authorities at all levels, the project has not yet been repaired in time.”

In order to promptly inspect and handle the issues raised by the Newspaper, the Nghi Loc District People's Committee issued Official Dispatch No. 2811/UBND-VHTT dated October 4, 2024 of the District People's Committee requesting the District Construction Investment Project Management Board (hereinafter referred to as the District Construction Investment Project Management Board) to inspect and report on related contents. Based on the report of the District Construction Investment Project Management Board and the inspection results, the District People's Committee responds to the contents raised by Nghe An Newspaper as follows:

1. Regarding construction:

Project: Construction of a memorial house for comrade Nguyen Duy Trinh in Phuc Tho commune, Nghi Loc district was permitted by the Provincial People's Committee to prepare a Technical Economic Report in Decision No. 3161/QD-UBND.DTXD dated August 20, 2012. Nghi Loc District People's Committee carried out investment procedures in accordance with regulations and started construction in October 2014; completed the project in August 2018. In which, the roof structure of the memorial house is covered with thatch.

Due to the harsh weather conditions in the locality, the thatched roof has been damaged in many places. According to the proposal of comrade Nguyen Duy Trinh's family, after a period of use, the damaged thatched roof should be replaced with a tiled roof; The District Construction Investment Project Management Board has coordinated with the district's functional departments to conduct a survey of the current status and submit a request for investment policy for the project. On May 23, 2024, at the 12th session, the District People's Council passed a Resolution approving the investment policy for the project "Replacing the thatched roof with a tiled roof and repairing some items of the memorial house of comrade Nguyen Duy Trinh in Phuc Tho commune, Nghi Loc district" with a total investment of about 700 million VND.

Implementing the policy of the District People's Council and the direction of the People's Committee, the District Construction Investment Project Management Board has selected a design consulting unit to develop a design and repair plan for the project. However, due to the specific nature of the project, very few consulting units have the expertise to carry out the project. In addition, the design consulting value of the project is not high (about more than 30 million VND), so the District Construction Investment Project Management Board has invited many consulting units to carry out the design consulting package for the project, but all units have refused.

After contacting many units, it was not until the end of September 2024 that a unit accepted to be the design consultant for the project. Currently, the Board has coordinated with the consulting unit to survey and develop a design plan for the project. It is expected that in October 2024, the project's technical and economic report will be approved and the project will be implemented and completed in December 2024.

2. Regarding project settlement:

The project started in 2012 with the District Cultural Project Management Board as the investor representative. In 2014, after the establishment of the District Construction Investment Project Management Board, it was handed over to the District Construction Investment Project Management Board as the investor representative.

Due to the change in the project management unit, some documents were lost; the new officer in charge did not know some of the work that had been done before, especially the site clearance. In addition, there was no coordination between the construction units (the representative of the incense house construction unit passed away; the construction unit of the memorial house, guest house... did not do construction anymore but switched to investing in other fields...). Therefore, the project settlement was delayed.

Currently, the Project Management Board has submitted the final settlement documents to the District Finance and Planning Department. In the coming time, the Project Management Board will send staff to coordinate with specialists from the Finance and Planning Department to finalize the project. It is expected that in mid-October 2024, there will be a decision approving the final settlement.
