However, through understanding the actual situation and synthesizing reports from agencies, sectors, and localities, provinces and cities have not yet fully promulgated the contents assigned in the Law and Decrees; in particular, a number of provinces and cities have not yet promulgated any content to detail and guide the implementation of the Land Law (including the following provinces and cities: Cao Bang, Ninh Binh, Quang Nam, Quang Ngai, Gia Lai, Dak Nong, Tien Giang, Can Tho, Bac Lieu, Ca Mau, Phu Yen, Binh Phuoc, An Giang).

1- Chairman of People's Council, Chairman of People's Committee of provinces and centrally-run cities:

a) Strictly implement the Prime Minister's dispatches and instructions.
