Enhance leadership accountability and promote a culture of savings
The majority of delegates agreed that the draft Law on Thrift and Anti-Waste aims to create a synchronous, unified, clear, and effective legal framework for thrift and anti-waste work.
Thereby, contributing to preventing, stopping and handling wasteful behaviors; raising awareness and sense of responsibility in thrift and anti-waste work. At the same time, aiming to overcome institutional loopholes, handle scattered resource allocation, enhance the responsibility of leaders and promote a culture of thrift in the political system and the whole society.
Regarding wasteful behavior (Article 3), the draft Law stipulates 9 groups of behaviors, which are causing waste related to the development and promulgation of legal documents in the fields of thrift and anti-waste stipulated in this Law. Causing waste in the leadership, direction, management, and use of resources in the fields of thrift and anti-waste stipulated in this Law. Causing waste in the management and use of public finance; causing waste in the procurement, lease, management, and use of public assets and public housing; causing waste in the management, exploitation, and use of resources and energy; causing waste in the organization of the apparatus and management and use of labor in the state sector; causing waste in the management and use of public investment capital; causing waste in the management and use of state capital in investment projects under the public-private partnership method; managing and investing state capital in enterprises; causing other waste according to the Government 's regulations.
However, National Assembly Deputy Nguyen Tam Hung (Ho Chi Minh City) said that the draft Law has not clearly mentioned the act of not using or ineffectively using the results of scientific and technological research and digital transformation projects that have been invested by the state budget.
In practice, many projects to digitize data, management software, applied research results, etc. worth hundreds of billions of VND have not been put into operation or are being operated at a standstill, causing great and prolonged waste.
Delegate Nguyen Tam Hung stated that adding this group of behaviors will increase the effectiveness of supervision. Therefore, he suggested that the drafting committee consider this issue further.
Clarifying the concept of anti-waste fighter
One content that many National Assembly deputies were interested in during the discussion session was providing and processing information on detecting waste and protecting those fighting against waste (Article 7).
National Assembly Delegate To Thi Bich Chau (Ho Chi Minh City) suggested that the draft Law should add provisions on the focal agency for receiving and processing information and the anonymity mechanism as well as the responsibility of state agencies in responding to information processing results.
At the same time, it is necessary to clarify the concept of anti-waste fighters to ensure consistency in application. This content also needs to clearly state the regulations to avoid fighting or reflecting incorrectly or easily making assumptions and causing chaos, causing disunity within the organization.
Also contributing comments on this content, delegate Nguyen Tam Hung stated that Clause 2, Article 7 stipulates the handling of information on waste detection.
Accordingly, the head of the agency or organization receiving information about waste is responsible for checking and clarifying the information about waste detection; in case waste occurs, it must be prevented and promptly remedied; handled according to authority or submitted to the competent authority to handle violations and publicize the handling results; and explained to the competent authority about the occurrence of waste.
Inspection, examination, investigation agencies, the People's Procuracy, and heads of direct superior agencies, upon receiving information about waste, are responsible for directing and organizing clarification according to their functions and duties, preventing and promptly handling it according to their authority or recommending competent authorities to handle it according to the provisions of law.
Delegate Nguyen Tam Hung said that there is no regulation on the mandatory time limit for handling when the head of an agency or organization receives information about waste. Therefore, in order to ensure accountability and prevent delays and evasion, it is recommended to consider adding the principle of handling information about waste detection within a specific time limit and publicizing the results of handling. Because, without a mandatory time limit, the enforcement of the Law is greatly reduced, undermining the people's trust in the efforts to prevent and combat waste that we are implementing when the Law has not been promulgated.
On the other hand, Clause 5, Article 7 of the draft Law stipulates prohibited acts in handling information on waste detection, protecting those fighting against waste and their relatives.
However, National Assembly member To Van Tam (Quang Ngai) said that there are no regulations prohibiting the behavior of those fighting against waste. Therefore, it is recommended to study and add regulations prohibiting the behavior of these people (those who fight against waste).
