Proposal to recover corrupt money for road construction
Voter Le Dinh Van (Cu Chi commune) said that the current planning adjustment work is still inadequate. If the adjustment is unreasonable, it will cause loss of State land resources, but if it is not adjusted, it will lead to prolonged land waste. Voters requested the City National Assembly to soon review and adjust planning that is no longer suitable to reality.
Regarding the progress of project implementation, voters reported that many projects have been delayed for a long time. For example, Provincial Road 8, which started construction in May 2024, is still "sluggish" and has not made any progress. Voters requested to speed up the progress of projects to serve the city's development and improve the quality of life of the people.
Regarding corruption prevention and control, voter Van assessed that although the Party and State have been very determined, the subsequent corruption cases are even bigger than before.
“The money collected from corruption can be used to build projects like highways…” – voter Van said.
