Tuong Duong: Rectifying activities of grassroots Party committees

(Baonghean) - In Tuong Duong district, after reviewing in the spirit of Resolution 4 of the Central Committee (term XII) with a frank and open-minded spirit, from the district to the grassroots level, solutions have been developed and initially seriously implemented to overcome the situation, creating positive changes.

Identify expressions associated with specific addresses

Tuong Duong District Party Committee has 50 grassroots party organizations and 291 party cells directly under the grassroots party committees. The review work, in accordance with the spirit of Resolution 4 of the Central Committee (term XII), from the Standing Committee of the District Party Committee to the grassroots party cells, was carried out in a frank, sincere, and open-minded spirit. Therefore, the review results clearly recognized the manifestations and shortcomings that need to be overcome and corrected in order to improve work efficiency, working style and manners, especially changing and correcting the thinking and awareness of performing public duties of cadres and party members.

Regarding the District Party Executive Committee, through review, 18/27 signs of degradation at the initial level were closely followed and identified, including 9 signs of degradation in the ideological and political group; 8 signs of degradation in the ethical and lifestyle group; and 1 sign of degradation in the "self-evolution" and "self-transformation" group (sign number 4). Regarding the District Party Standing Committee, 11 signs of degradation at the initial level were identified, including 6 signs of degradation in the ideological and political group; 5 signs of degradation in the ethical and lifestyle group; and no signs of degradation in the "self-evolution" and "self-transformation" group.

The identification of manifestations is linked to specific addresses, helping collectives and individuals "self-reflect" on limitations and shortcomings to promptly find solutions to overcome and correct them. For example, the manifestation of "still being respectful in daily life, not being direct and decisive with the limitations and shortcomings of comrades and colleagues. Not being determined to direct the handling and overcoming of the situation of some units contracting civil servants in violation of regulations" at the Center for Social Labor Education, Radio and Television Station, and the Center for Culture and Information.

Or the manifestation of "sometimes and places are not closely following and grasping the situation at the grassroots level; not promptly resolving some urgent difficulties of the people" then the specific "address" is pointed out as in the Resettlement Project agency of Ban Ve and Khe Bo hydropower projects. The manifestation of "some cadres and party members showing signs of taking advantage of their assigned positions and powers to embezzle, commit corruption, and violate regulations" is clearly pointed out at Tuong Duong 1 High School, Na Be village Party cell, Xa Luong commune and the District Compensation and Site Clearance Council. In the district Party Committee, there are still cadres and party members violating ethical standards of lifestyle, violating the evils of gambling, drinking and debauchery such as in Yen Na, Tam Hop, Nga My communes...

Flexibility in suggesting collective and individual reviews

With the motto of "looking straight, speaking the truth" and the spirit of "correct identification to have the right solution", in addition to 27 manifestations in the review according to Resolution 4 of the Central Committee (term XII), Tuong Duong District Party Committee issued Official Dispatch No. 334-CV/HU directing the addition of some identifications to help the grassroots level review closer to local reality.

Specifically, for the group with political and ideological degradation, note the addition of 4 manifestations: still having a mindset of waiting and relying on others, not wanting to escape poverty to enjoy the poor household policy; not setting an example in mobilizing and propagating people to implement the Party's guidelines and policies and the State's laws and policies; oneself or a family member going abroad illegally, or intentionally letting the wife, husband, or children go to work abroad without going through legal organizations; expressing opinions and views arbitrarily on social networks.

For the group showing signs of moral and lifestyle degradation, it is important to identify 4 contents: having family members or relatives participating in illegal religious activities; participating in social evils, gambling; having family members or relatives participating in illegal forest exploitation, illegal gold mining; intentionally letting family members or relatives enjoy policies to support poor households while many others are in more difficult circumstances; not being exemplary in complying with traffic laws, environmental sanitation, food safety, implementing cultural lifestyles, implementing village conventions and regulations...

The guidance to supplement specific review notes, close to the local situation, is a rather creative and flexible work of Tuong Duong district to increase the effectiveness of the review work in the spirit of Resolution 4 of the Central Committee (term XII). This also shows that the Standing Committee of the District Party Committee has a very close grasp of the grassroots situation and has clearly identified the outstanding problems that need to be resolved.

Comrade Pham Trong Hoang - Secretary of Tuong Duong District Party Committee said: "In order to review effectively and focus on the right things, the Standing Committee of the District Party Committee has directed and suggested reviewing 8 collectives, specifically suggesting 3 individuals in the communes of Nga My, Yen Na, Tam Hop, Luong Minh, Yen Thang, Nhon Mai, Yen Tinh and Hoa Binh town related to urgent and prominent issues of public concern that need to be clarified. In addition, all grassroots Party Committees are required to suggest reviewing each village Party cell.

Faced with the frankness and "exemplary" self-criticism of the Standing Committee and the Executive Committee of the District Party Committee, the grassroots Party Committees also carried out quite serious and quality self-criticism. In Xa Luong commune, the Party Committee Secretary of Loc Quoc Viet commune said: "In addition to examining 27 manifestations, the Party Committee also relied on the official dispatch guiding the addition of manifestations to clearly identify the shortcomings and limitations of individuals and collective Party Committees. From there, it determined the manifestations that needed to be resolved immediately. Including improving the quality of Party building work, developing Party members, building new rural areas, etc.

Similarly, in Thach Giam commune, the serious review and identification of manifestations associated with specific "addresses" has helped the Party cells and related individuals correctly and promptly identify the shortcomings and limitations in order to have a plan to correct and propose effective solutions. For example, the situation of not fully and thoroughly implementing the organization's assignment, performing work carelessly, lacking responsibility, and low work efficiency has led to the issuance of both excess and shortage of social insurance cards; the issuance of certificates of poor and near-poor households has not been timely; and the payment of benefits has been slow. Or the lack of inspection and supervision has led to 7/9 village Party cells failing to develop resolutions, programs, and action plans for the year in the Party cells of Cay Me, Mon, Lau, and Phong villages; the situation of "some cadres and Party members showing signs of declining fighting spirit, irregular participation in Party activities, and sometimes lacking exemplary behavior" in Mac village...

Initial change

Identifying the review period in the spirit of the 4th Central Resolution (12th tenure) as an opportunity for each Party Committee, Party organization, cadre and Party member to self-reflect and re-examine themselves, thereby adjusting their own thoughts and actions and having specific solutions to correct and overcome shortcomings, after the review conference, Tuong Duong district focused on rectifying the leadership and direction of the Party Committee in the direction of closely following the practical situation at the grassroots level, not avoiding but frankly facing to remove difficulties and problems arising at the grassroots level; tightening administrative management, strengthening discipline and state administrative discipline; strictly handling cadres and Party members who violated discipline and public ethics, including forcing the resignation and expulsion from the Party of the Deputy Head of the Finance and Planning Department and Accountant of the Compensation and Site Clearance Board for Khe Bo Hydropower Plant.

Thereby, creating changes in the awareness and responsibility of performing public duties of cadres and party members. At the grassroots level, localities and units have been focusing on implementing immediate tasks, including administrative reform; innovating the working style and manners of cadres and civil servants according to the direction of the Standing Committee of the District Party Committee, fundamentally overcoming the situation of coming late and leaving early, being absent from work without reason, and drinking alcohol during working hours.

Thanks to the spirit of learning, solidarity and unity within the Party Committee, the high promotion of the spirit and responsibility of each cadre and party member in their assigned positions and responsibilities, positive changes have been made in all aspects. Notably, in the first 6 months of the year, the district's basic economic index increased by 10.2% over the same period. In agriculture, the passion fruit area has rapidly developed from 3 hectares to 58.3 hectares, and nearly 300 hectares of forest have been planted. Industry and handicrafts have made a breakthrough with the operation of the unburnt brick factory with a capacity of 30 million bricks/year. This is the first industrial production facility in Tuong Duong.

In basic construction investment, in addition to accelerating the progress of some key projects, the district has mobilized communes to open 7.1km of roads to remote villages. In the work of Party building and political system building, the district focuses on effectively implementing Directive 12 on strengthening thrift practice and combating waste; building a creative and people-friendly working style for management staff; improving the quality of dialogues between the chairmen of the People's Council and People's Committee at the commune level and the people; piloting the one-office project (unifying the Party Committee office and the People's Committee office at the commune level into one focal point)...

According to comrade Pham Trong Hoang - Secretary of Tuong Duong District Party Committee: To continue to effectively implement the Resolution of the 4th Central Committee (term XII). In addition to promoting the role of the people, the Fatherland Front and social organizations in supervising the overcoming of shortcomings and limitations of collectives and individuals after the review, the Standing Committee of the District Party Committee requires the heads of Party committees and authorities at all levels to strictly implement the regime of going to the grassroots, periodically or suddenly receiving people to receive information, listen, directly dialogue and handle people's reflections and recommendations, focusing on issues related to signs of degradation, "self-evolution", "self-transformation" in cadres and party members, especially key cadres in performing assigned duties and tasks.
