Ca Mau will reduce the number of hamlets and villages by more than 40%.

In accordance with the directives of the Provincial Party Standing Committee and the Provincial People's Committee on the reorganization of hamlets and neighborhoods as per the central government's policy, the entire political system of Ca Mau province has been actively involved with high determination.

• Local authorities are seeking feedback on the plan for reorganizing hamlets.
• Ca Mau launches emulation campaign to reorganize hamlets and neighborhoods.

This was the emphasis of Mr. Nguyen Minh Nhut, Director of the Department of Internal Affairs of Ca Mau province, in an interview with reporters from Ca Mau Newspaper and Radio and Television regarding the progress and personnel policies and standards when implementing the plan to rearrange and reorganize hamlets and neighborhoods in the province.

- Sir, we understand that Ca Mau province has completed the overall plan for reorganizing hamlets and neighborhoods ahead of the deadline set by the central government. Could you please share more specific details about the results of this important task?

Mr. Nguyen Minh Nhut: Although the implementation period was very short (less than 2 weeks), by June 4, 2026, the People's Committee of Ca Mau province had completed the overall plan and it was unanimously approved by the Provincial Party Committee at its 7th Conference. According to Directive No. 21/CT-TTg dated May 20, 2026 of the Prime Minister , localities must complete this before June 10, 2026. Thus, Ca Mau has reached the finish line 6 days ahead of schedule.

Next, based on the province's overall plan, communes and wards will proceed to develop detailed proposals; organize public consultations in accordance with the law and submit them to the commune-level People's Council for approval. This process ensures transparency and openness to create the highest level of consensus.

Ca Mau strives to complete all of this work before June 25, 2026, further ahead of the deadline set by the Central Government (before June 30, 2026).

The People's Committee of Ta An Khuong commune held a meeting to review and develop a detailed plan to reorganize the current 25 hamlets into 12.

- Alongside the development of the boundary plan, public opinion is very interested in personnel matters. How has the Department of Internal Affairs advised and assessed the support policies for those who are redundant?

Mr. Nguyen Minh Nhut: This is a core issue to ensure stability at the grassroots level. Following the directives of the Provincial Party Standing Committee and the Provincial People's Committee, the Department of Internal Affairs is actively coordinating with departments, agencies, and localities to review and consolidate the team of part-time officials in newly established hamlets and neighborhoods.

For employees who become redundant due to organizational restructuring, we focus on promptly and properly addressing their entitlements and policies to ensure their legitimate rights are protected.

Specifically, redundant non-professional staff will retire immediately upon receiving the restructuring decision from the competent authority and will receive all benefits of the downsizing policies as stipulated in Government Decree 154/2025/ND-CP. Resolving the policy in a fair and reasonable manner will be key to achieving consensus.

- In order for the new system to operate effectively immediately after the reorganization, how is the process of establishing standards for the three key positions at the hamlet/neighborhood level currently being implemented, sir?

Mr. Nguyen Minh Nhut: Regarding the standards for the three positions at the hamlet/neighborhood level, namely: Party Branch Secretary, Hamlet/Neighborhood Head, and Head of the Fatherland Front Committee, the Provincial Party Standing Committee has directed the Provincial Party Organization Committee to preside over a conference with communes and wards to discuss and approve the proposed framework of standards. After this step, the Provincial Party Organization Committee will report to the Provincial Party Standing Committee and the Provincial Party Standing Committee before officially issuing the standards, providing a legal basis for the placement of cadres as soon as the new apparatus comes into operation.

According to Resolution 08-NQ/TU dated December 29, 2025, of the Provincial Party Committee, Ca Mau consistently implements the policy: the Party Branch Secretary also serves as the Head of the hamlet or neighborhood. Only in exceptional cases where the conditions are not met will the Party Branch Secretary also be appointed as the Head of the Fatherland Front Committee.

In the long term, to improve the quality of operations, Ca Mau strives to ensure that by 2030, 100% of hamlet and neighborhood Party branch secretaries will have a university degree, a secondary-level political theory certificate, and be proficient in applying information technology to their daily work.

Thank you very much, sir!
