Talking to reporters, Mr. Hoang Xuan Minh (Dong Bang hamlet, Dong Hop commune, Quy Hop district) said: In 1995, his family had a decision to allocate land for long-term housing by the People's Committee of Quy Hop district. However, in 2019, when completing the procedures for granting a land use right certificate, he was notified that he had to pay more than 140 million VND in land use fees and registration fees on the grounds that the district's land allocation decision was "invalid". Wishing to have a "land certificate", his family paid the money as notified, but during the process of completing the documents, the authorities required his family to pay more than 28 million VND. He found that unreasonable, because in 1995, his family had fulfilled their financial obligations, had a land use fee receipt and was allocated land by the People's Committee of the district; now, when applying for a land use right certificate, he had to fulfill his financial obligations once again...
The above incident was reported by Mr. Minh to the Provincial People's Council delegates at the voter contact conference on July 26, 2021 in Dong Hop commune. Immediately after the voter contact, comrade Nguyen Nhu Khoi - Member of the Provincial Party Executive Committee, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Council personally directed the People's Aspirations Department, the Office of the National Assembly Delegation and the Provincial People's Council to investigate and study the incident reported by voters, the regulations of the Central Government and the province to advise the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Council to issue a document requesting the People's Committee of Quy Hop district to resolve and respond to the voters' opinions.
After 3 months, Mr. Minh's family and some other households paid the land fee, had a land use fee receipt, and the People's Committee of Quy Hop district refunded the additional payment and issued a land use right certificate. Mr. Hoang Xuan Minh said: "The voice of our people has touched the hearts of the elected representatives, they truly fulfilled their role of representing the legitimate interests, being the reliable support of the people!"
Regarding the issue of granting land use right certificates, in response to practical requirements, since September 2021, the Standing Committee of Nghe An Provincial People's Council has organized a session to explain this issue. After the session, the Standing Committee of Nghe An Provincial People's Council issued Notice of Conclusion No. 219/TB-HDND.TT dated October 8, 2021 on the situation of granting land use right certificates, house ownership rights and other assets attached to land in Nghe An province. In order to implement the above notice, the Provincial People's Committee has promptly issued documents for implementation such as: Plan to resolve the backlog of granting land use right certificates, house ownership rights and other assets attached to land for households and individuals; Decision to authorize the People's Committees of districts, cities and towns to determine financial obligations for cases of land allocation beyond their authority and land allocation within their authority...
Not only stopping at organizing a explanatory session and then issuing a Notice of conclusion of the explanation, but after 9 months of organizing a explanatory session on this content, in June 2022, the Standing Committee of the People's Council of Nghe An province continued to hold a meeting to listen to a report on the implementation results. Acknowledging that the situation of granting Certificates of land use rights, house ownership rights and assets attached to land in Nghe An province has had some changes, the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Council also frankly assessed that the implementation results are still slow. Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Chairman of the People's Council of Nghe An province Thai Thanh Quy requested: The Provincial People's Committee, relevant departments, branches and localities need to continue to focus highly, closely follow the plan of the Provincial People's Committee for implementation. In particular, at the district level, it is necessary to propose to the Standing Committee of the district, city and town Party Committees to directly direct the implementation. The Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Council will closely monitor until all outstanding issues are resolved.
Mr. Hoang Quoc Viet - Member of the Provincial Party Executive Committee, Director of the Department of Natural Resources and Environment said: After the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Council organized a session to explain, issued a Notice of conclusion of explanation and the Provincial People's Committee issued Plan No. 815 for implementation, the Department of Natural Resources and Environment identified this as a key topic of the sector to focus on leading, directing, guiding, accompanying the districts; the district level accompanies the communes, to implement and promptly remove obstacles, "bottlenecks", mobilizing the entire political system to participate. Thereby, the work of granting certificates of land use rights and ownership of houses in backlog for households and individuals in Nghe An province has achieved many outstanding results, such as granting certificates of land use rights and ownership of houses in real estate business projects in the province exceeding the target assigned by the Provincial People's Committee, reaching 131.2% for apartment buildings (3,788/plan 2,886 units) and 89% for townhouses and villas (while the assigned target was from 65 - 80% of eligible backlog cases)...
Not only with voters' petitions but also with any problem arising in real life, the delegates and elected agencies in Nghe An all get involved with a spirit of enthusiasm, responsibility, sticking to the end, solving the root cause with the belief that once being a representative of the people, elected by the people, they must be closer to the people, attached to the people and determined for the people.
Demonstrating the pursuit of practical issues that are causing public concern, at the regular session at the end of 2021, the Provincial People's Council questioned the State management of minerals in the province. Nearly 1 year later, in September, October and November 2022, the Provincial People's Council continued to establish a delegation and organize the supervision of the State management of minerals in the province and issued Resolution No. 72, dated December 9, 2022 on strengthening the State management of minerals. On that basis, the Provincial People's Committee issued Plan No. 54 to implement the Resolution of the Provincial People's Council, assigning specific tasks to each level and each sector. Nghe An Provincial Party Committee also issued Directive No. 20, dated December 28, 2022 on strengthening the Party's leadership over the State management of minerals in the province.
Directly choosing hot issues and difficult tasks to monitor, with the view of going all the way, not hesitating to raise the issue with the Provincial People's Committee, departments, branches and localities to resolve, the Provincial People's Council has organized thematic monitoring sessions on "suspended projects" and slow-progress projects in Nghe An province. This is a prominent issue that has been reflected by many voters, because there are many projects that have not been implemented by investors for many years, while other enterprises that want to invest do not have land, which not only greatly affects people's livelihoods but also slows down local development. After the monitoring sessions, on July 14, 2022, at the 4th session, the 18th Provincial People's Council issued Resolution No. 31/NQ-HDND on "Strengthening state management of suspended projects, slow-progress projects and projects using land for the wrong purpose in Nghe An province".
In the coastal town of Cua Lo - where a number of "suspended projects" have just been revoked, Mr. Nguyen Hong Quang - Vice Chairman of the People's Council of Cua Lo town said: Through the supervision of the Provincial People's Council, all levels and sectors have taken more drastic measures in reviewing, checking, and evaluating the construction progress as well as proposing solutions to handle projects that are behind schedule. Up to now, in the town, there are 2 more projects for which the Provincial People's Committee has issued decisions to reclaim land and cancel the planning, including the 3/2 Farm Workers' Rest House project and a part (36.61ha) of the Van Xuan University of Technology project, bringing the total number of projects that have ceased operations, had their planning canceled, and had their investment certificates revoked in the town to 11 projects.
Head of the Economic - Budget Committee of the Provincial People's Council Cao Tien Trung - Deputy Head of the Supervision Delegation said: After the supervision, the Provincial People's Council issued a Resolution; the Provincial People's Committee issued an official dispatch assigning specific responsibilities to provincial departments, branches, and sectors and the People's Committees of districts, cities, and towns to implement the Resolution of the Provincial People's Council; at the same time, continue to review suspended projects, slow-progress projects in the province and issue a decision to establish an interdisciplinary inspection team to inspect investment projects in the province. The Provincial People's Committee also advised on the development of a Resolution of the Provincial Party Standing Committee on strengthening the Party's leadership over investment projects in the province. As a result, after 6 months of the Provincial People's Council issuing a Resolution on suspended projects, initially, the Provincial People's Committee issued a decision to revoke and terminate the operation of 15 investment projects; including 2 projects in Cua Lo town; 7 projects in Vinh city; 3 projects in Nghi Loc district; 2 projects in Tan Ky district; 1 project in Thanh Chuong district…
