Effective implementation of salary policy

Presenting a report synthesizing opinions and recommendations from voters and people sent to the seventh session, Politburo member, Party Central Committee Secretary, Chairman of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Do Van Chien, said that in preparation for the seventh session of the 15th National Assembly, the Presidium of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front received 63/63 reports reflecting opinions and recommendations from voters and people of provinces and cities; 37/63 reports from National Assembly delegations; 23 reports from member organizations; 16 opinions and recommendations from members of the Presidium of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front, with a total of 1,502 opinions.

In the current context and situation, voters recommend that the Party and State further strengthen information and propaganda work; promptly detect and resolutely and strictly handle organizations and individuals who take advantage of democracy, distort the truth, "interfere" with information, especially "bad, toxic" and "defamatory" information, which reduces the prestige of organizations and individual leaders, affecting the common cause of the Party, State and our people.

Voters recommend that the Party and the State direct ministries, branches and localities to speed up the implementation of national target programs, especially the Poverty Reduction and Socio-Economic Development Program for Ethnic Minorities and Mountainous Areas; promptly resolve difficulties in terms of residential land, production land, domestic water, livelihoods, social security, etc. because this is the most difficult segment of the population at present. At the same time, remove difficulties to limit businesses from leaving the market, create conditions for businesses to restore production, and create jobs for workers, because the challenge of jobs and income for people is a rather acute issue.

Voters also requested a synchronous and fundamental solution, with support policies from the State to provide enough water for people's daily life and ensure production in some difficult areas, such as mountainous areas, the Central Highlands, and the Southwest.

Conduct a general review and collect all recommendations from residents in apartment buildings nationwide to research and satisfactorily resolve disputes between residents and investors and management boards, which are quite common today, ensuring the legal and legitimate rights and interests of residents, and being transparent for residents to monitor.

Voters recommend that the Government direct ministries, branches, and functional agencies to review guiding documents and "necessary and sufficient" conditions to implement the new wage policy from July 1, 2024. In particular, it is necessary to promptly resolve arising problems and difficulties so that the new wage policy truly motivates cadres, civil servants, public employees, and wage earners to improve the quality and efficiency of serving people and businesses.

Be open-minded, active and proactive in resolving voters' suggestions

Reporting on the results of monitoring the settlement of voters' petitions sent to the sixth session, Head of the Petition Committee of the National Assembly Standing Committee Duong Thanh Binh said that through meetings with voters by National Assembly deputies, 2,216 petitions were compiled and sent to competent agencies for settlement.

Voters' petitions relate to most areas of social life, including some areas that many voters are interested in, such as: Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs; Health; Transportation; Education and Training; Agriculture and Rural Areas. To date, 2,210 petitions have been resolved and answered by voters, reaching 99.7%.

Of which, the National Assembly and its agencies have fully responded to 62/62 recommendations. The National Assembly has made many improvements and innovations in law-making, and the laws, once promulgated, have ensured feasibility and stable and long-term implementation. Supervision activities continue to demonstrate continuous innovation, focused supervision of pressing issues arising in the country's socio-economic life, and the results have been widely recognized by voters and people.

The Government, ministries and central agencies have resolved and responded to 2,117/2,122 petitions. The Government, ministries and central agencies have shown openness, positivity, and proactiveness in overcoming limitations, and proposed many measures to improve the quality and effectiveness of management and administration. The research, reception and resolution of complaints and denunciations have contributed to removing many difficulties and obstacles, promoting socio-economic development, stabilizing social order and safety, improving people's lives, and creating trust for voters and people nationwide.

However, the submission of reports summarizing voters' petitions through regular voter meetings before and after the sixth session by some National Assembly delegations has not been ensured within the time limit prescribed by law; petitions under the jurisdiction of localities are still collected and requested to be resolved by central agencies.

The National Assembly Standing Committee requested that National Assembly agencies continue to further enhance the quality of supervision over the promulgation of legal documents; National Assembly delegations improve the quality of synthesizing, classifying, and handling complaints and denunciations; ensure the progress and time for sending reports summarizing complaints and denunciations after National Assembly deputies meet voters according to regulations.

The Government directs ministries and branches to resolve the limitations as stated in the report; review and thoroughly resolve recommendations that are in the process of being resolved, ensuring quality resolution, following the roadmap reported to voters.
