Recognizing the expression of officials avoiding responsibility
According to delegate Tran Quoc Tuan (Delegation of Delegation to the National Assembly of Tra Vinh province) can be divided into groups for the situation of civil servants pushing and avoiding responsibility. One is a group of cadres whose political ideology is degraded, cadres who avoid, fear responsibility, push and push, cadres who do not want to work because they do not have their own interests. Second, the group of officials is afraid of breaking the law, so they don't dare to do it.

According to delegate Tran Quoc Tuan, those cadres who have degraded in political ideology, who show signs of avoidance, fear of responsibility, expulsion, fear of being wrong, unwilling to do things because they do not have their own interests, can be overcome immediately. because so far, at any time or in any agency, unit or locality, there has been a small number of officials of that nature. The problem is that the unit can recognize it or not and when it is detected, how to handle it.
The urgent solution that needs to be done immediately is to replace these cadres with good cadres who have enough enthusiasm and responsibility, because we have no shortage of good cadres.
“In the long term, in addition to Conclusion No. 14 of the Politburo, I propose to the National Assembly and the Government to direct the review and improvement of the legal system, especially legal regulations related to civil servants. officers to ensure uniformity, no overlap, no contradiction to serve as a basis to encourage and protect dynamic, creative, dare to think, dare to do, dare to make breakthroughs for the common good”, delegate Tran Quoc Tuan suggested.
With the group of officials who are afraid of breaking the law, so they do not dare to do it, this is the group that makes up the majority of officials who are afraid of responsibility, they have created the above limitations. This is also the biggest obstacle causing work bottlenecks in the whole system.
The cause of this phenomenon is that some current legal documents, especially sub-law documents, lack uniformity and are difficult to implement. Typically, the same content of regulations but have two different interpretations or the same content of work but two documents under the law guiding inconsistent implementation.
“I witnessed on the sidelines of the National Assembly session, there were two National Assembly deputies debating the content of a valid article of law. That debate has made me very worried and worried, because it is happening right in the legislative body, so it cannot be ruled out that it will happen in the executive organs, in which There are also inspection and examination agencies and so there will be a risk of many different consequences for public officials. These inadequacies have been frankly reflected by many National Assembly deputies right in the discussion hall on May 29, 5," said delegate Tran Quoc Tuan.
Another reason is that cadres are afraid of breaking the law, worrying that the inspection and examination work is becoming more and more practical along with the prevention and control of corruption and negativity being implemented drastically and increasingly. effective. In particular, there have been cases of law violation that have been discovered many years ago and due to the seriousness of the violation, they have been criminally handled. It was from these cases that made many officials afraid, because those cadres had done similar jobs in the past, thereby creating a contagion effect on some officials. other departments, forming a mentality of hesitation, fear, fear of being disciplined, especially fear of being criminally handled. Among those cadres, we do not exclude there are dedicated and responsible cadres but they are unable to carry out the work due to the inadequacy and lack of uniformity of the guiding documents.

Sharing the same view, delegate Vu Trong Kim (Delegation of National Assembly Deputies of Nam Dinh province) said that the issue of civil servants being afraid of being wrong here should be clearly mentioned in the category of being afraid of being wrong and avoiding and pushing. What is favorable is to be received into oneself, while what is difficult is to be pushed to the organization, others and outside...
Delegate Vu Trong Kim stated: At the recent mid-term meeting of the Party Central Committee, General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong gave an important speech clearly stating these manifestations and specifying the causes. Accordingly, a part of cadres was afraid that the anti-corruption fight would get stronger, but cadres were discouraged and did not dare to do it. This is the most sensitive cause that the National Assembly deputies have not seen mentioned.
Where is the solution?
Regarding the solution to catch the pulse and treat this disease, delegate To Van Tam (Delegation of National Assembly Delegation of Kon Tum province) said that it is necessary to handle responsibility, personalize responsibility in the performance of official duties as well as must individualize responsibilities of collectives and individuals in advising or proposing amendments and promulgation of legal documents within their competence. The reason is that the delay in promulgating detailed documents has not been overcome.
From the above situation, a number of National Assembly deputies proposed that the National Assembly and the Government should pay attention and focus on researching, reviewing, amending and supplementing the provisions of the law, especially sub-law documents, ensuring their rigor, consistency, and ease of application so that localities, units, organizations and individuals can immediately implement them based on that.
To step up decentralization and decentralization more, the Prime Minister has directed many times but so far there has been no change. If this work is done well, it will reduce pressure and burden on superior agencies, and at the same time increase responsibility for localities and lower agencies. To do so, it is necessary to determine what is the responsibility of the locality, then boldly delegate authority to the locality to do, the locality will be responsible before the law.
Recognizing to overcome the above phenomenon, Minister of Home Affairs Pham Thi Thanh Tra said that this situation has delayed and delayed public service activities, eroded and degraded the confidence of people and businesses. for state agencies; hindering development motivation and resources, affecting all aspects of social life, especially in terms of socio-economic development goals in the context of the country's current difficulties.

Strictly following the direction of the National Assembly, the President of the National Assembly, the Government and the Prime Minister stepped up the review, proposed supplementation and improvement of institutions and policies, especially in the socio-economic field. difficulties and problems arise in practice and in matters related to powers, competence, agencies and organizations; promote decentralization, decentralization and authorization.

Currently, the Ministry of Home Affairs has consulted ministries and branches, consulted experts and experts, consulted 63 provinces and cities, and appraised opinions of the Ministry of Justice, but due to legal problems and authority problems, it has been reported. report to the Government Party Personnel Committee to report to the competent authorities.
