On the other hand, statistics show that, at present, after the merger, the working conditions (land area, headquarters, facilities) are both lacking and redundant, lacking in uniformity and inadequate; the rate of houses and land proposed to be retained for continued use is quite high; each local unit has different views on the arrangement and handling. This is also an issue that needs to be analyzed and clarified;...
Speaking at the explanation session, Permanent Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Le Hong Vinh said that for 2,866 houses and land facilities that have not yet had their arrangement plans approved, the Provincial People's Committee will complete the approval by the end of 2022.

NEED TO BE PROCESSED THOROUGHLY WITH SPECIFIC RESPONSIBILITY
Concluding the explanation session, in the face of the fact that the number of houses and land facilities that have not had their arrangement plans approved is still large, mainly located in blocks, hamlets, and villages, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Chairman of the People's Council of Nghe An province Thai Thanh Quy analyzed and clarified the objective and subjective causes leading to this existence.
Accordingly, subjectively, the arrangement has not been given due attention, no specific responsibility has been assigned, and monitoring and urging have not been drastic. Along with that, objectively, the Chairman of the Provincial People's Council also stated that this is not an easy task; after the arrangement, there was a situation of both excess and shortage of local area and space.
On the other hand, the legal documents of some real estate facilities are not sufficient to propose a plan for arrangement; there is no budget for measuring, inventorying, and evaluating assets. These assets are also not easy to sell and transfer because they are mainly located in blocks, hamlets, and villages, so the comparative advantage in terms of land rent is low.

Based on the analysis of subjective and objective causes, Chairman of Nghe An Provincial People's Council Thai Thanh Quy suggested that immediately after the explanation session, the leaders of the Provincial People's Committee should pay attention to directing the thorough handling of this issue through issuing plans and solutions; building progress, assigning specific responsibilities; linking with the responsibility of the head and emulation and rewards.
Along with that, the Provincial People's Committee needs to direct the review of land use planning, associated with cultural institutions in the blocks, hamlets and villages to use these assets appropriately, effectively and with a long-term vision. Accordingly, the Provincial Party Secretary and Chairman of the Provincial People's Council suggested a solution that is to plan and build cultural houses in blocks, hamlets and villages that are arranged into cultural and sports venues to serve the people by calling on the people to join hands and contribute to changing their usage functions.
On the other hand, localities and relevant sectors need to compile statistics and review the headquarters of state agencies located in the areas managed by superiors to have effective handling plans and avoid wasting land, because these are headquarters in prime locations.
In order to manage and use public assets after merging administrative units and public service units in the province, the Chairman of the Provincial People's Council also noted the need to arrange and allocate funds for localities to serve the measurement at facilities with incomplete records; at the same time, it is necessary to apply synchronous management software and have statistics and regular updates.
Emphasizing that this is an important issue, of great concern to voters and the people, and that is also the reason why the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Council organized this explanation session, therefore, the Chairman of the Nghe An Provincial People's Council requested that it is necessary to immediately implement more drastic solutions to speed up the implementation progress, thereby, by the end of 2022, the approval of the arrangement plan will be completed as a basis for implementation to avoid land waste. In the explanation session at the end of this year, the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Council will continue to listen to the implementation results on this issue.
