Correct and necessary decision, contributing to unlocking resources for development

Kinhtedothi - The policies specified in Conclusion No. 127-KL/TW dated February 28, 2025 of the Politburo and Secretariat "on implementing research and proposing to continue to reorganize the apparatus of the political system" are very correct, necessary and timely, suitable for current conditions.

According to Associate Professor, Dr. Bui Thi An - former National Assembly delegate, President of the Hanoi Women Intellectuals Association, Conclusion No. 127-KL/TW dated February 28, 2025 of the Politburo and the Secretariat "on implementing research and proposing to continue to reorganize the apparatus of the political system", in which the policy of researching and orienting the merger of a number of provincial-level units, not organizing at the district level, merging a number of commune-level units; implementing a 2-level local model (party organization, government, mass organizations) to ensure streamlining, efficiency, effectiveness and efficiency is completely suitable for current conditions.

Improve the responsibility and qualifications of commune-level officials

According to Associate Professor, Dr. Bui Thi An, through the development process, we are in the modern stage with the 4.0 Industrial Revolution, the socio -economic conditions and facilities are completely different from before, so it can be said that Conclusion No. 127-KL/TW is completely appropriate, so that we can both organize the merger and streamline the apparatus while still implementing the work and policies well.

“Previously, the country did not have the conditions to carry out this work, because the economic conditions were still low, there was no Industrial Revolution 4.0, from the internet to the telephone was not yet developed, so it was still necessary to keep the 3-level government model at the local level and 4 levels of the whole country. Besides, through consulting countries around the world, it shows that implementing the 2-level local government model is completely suitable and still effective. So at this time, we are implementing the elimination of the intermediate level as well as merging provinces based on the population size, area and carefully studying the national master plan, regional planning, local planning, socio-economic development strategy, industry development, expanding development space, promoting comparative advantages, meeting the development requirements for each locality and the requirements and development orientation of the new period... is appropriate. The arrangement still ensures the effectiveness of the work, the policies still reach the people; achieving the goals and requirements of taking the people's life "People's lives, serving people is the center" - Associate Professor, Dr. Bui Thi An stated her opinion.

Not organizing district-level administrative units not only reduces the number of intermediate-level civil servants and reduces the budget burden, but also promotes streamlining and thoroughly reforms administrative procedures, thereby making work faster, more economical and more effective. Among them, the people benefit the most, because all government activities are to serve the people, to improve their material and spiritual lives. Therefore, people have high expectations for this revolution.

Associate Professor, Dr. Bui Thi An said that the main goal of the government is to serve the people, and the commune level is the level closest to the people, so this is also an opportunity for the commune-level government apparatus to operate more effectively. Therefore, it is also necessary to have solutions to continue to raise awareness of responsibility, innovate thinking, improve the qualifications and working skills of the team of commune-level civil servants and public employees.

“When there are two levels of local government, the commune level will no longer have to "wait for reports" from the district level, but will have to resolve and take responsibility for a number of matters, even matters beyond their former "capacity". So it is clear that commune officials need to improve not only their qualifications but also their responsibilities, and need to learn and cultivate more. It can be affirmed that the preparation of commune-level officials, including the stages from selecting to arranging these officials to take on work when the intermediate level has been eliminated, is an extremely important issue in the coming period, because this is the level closest to the people. Only then can we contribute to achieving the goal of reducing inconvenience to the people and the work still goes smoothly, ensuring an efficient, effective and efficient apparatus as required by the Politburo" - Associate Professor, Dr. Bui Thi An said.

Associate Professor, Dr. Bui Thi An commented that implementing the policy of merging some provincial-level administrative units, not organizing the district level, and continuing to merge commune-level administrative units is completely suitable for current conditions.

Pay attention to supervision and post-supervision

The people are eagerly waiting and expecting that this revolution in reforming the organizational apparatus of the political system will create a breakthrough momentum for the country to move forward. Promoting the streamlining of the organizational apparatus, building, perfecting, improving the efficiency, effectiveness, and operational efficiency of the political system, meeting the requirements and tasks of the country in the spirit of Conclusion No. 127-KL/TW of the Politburo and the Secretariat is an important task that needs to be done.

Associate Professor, Dr. Bui Thi An commented that the commune-level government is the grassroots government, closest to the people, directly solving issues related to the people's interests. The granting of more authority and power must be linked to the responsibility of the officials. Inspection and supervision must be strengthened, especially the supervision of the people. Close coordination between levels, sectors and departments to create the most open and favorable conditions for people and businesses.

“At this stage, people are very welcome when Conclusion No. 127-KL/TW dated February 28, 2025 of the Politburo and Secretariat has set out specific progress, plans, deadlines and determination to do so, so people's trust is gradually increased. However, to effectively implement the apparatus of civil servants at all levels of local government according to the set goals, the supervision mechanism plays a very important role. It is very necessary to supervise and monitor the team of civil servants so that all work is carried out "evenly"; if we assign cadres without supervision and without post-supervision, it will be difficult to achieve the goal of merging, streamlining and reducing intermediaries" - Associate Professor, Dr. Bui Thi An said. At the same time, it is recognized that currently, revolutionary movements to implement the policy of streamlining the apparatus, building a streamlined, strong, efficient, effective and efficient political system are taking place from the Central to the local levels, including the capital Hanoi. With the strong direction of the Party, the participation of ministries, branches and localities, and the consensus of the people, the task of streamlining the apparatus will be carried out scientifically, methodically and ensure efficiency and effectiveness.
