Monitoring the implementation of the public investment plan for the 2021 period

Chairman of the Provincial Party Committee's Inspection Commission - Vuong Phuong Nam spoke at the meeting.

On the morning of May 30, the Economic - Budget Committee Supervision Delegation of the Provincial People's Council had a working session with the Department of Planning and Investment (DPI) on the implementation of the medium-term public investment plan using local budget sources for the period 2021 - 2025 and a number of works and investment projects in the province. Attending the meeting was comrade Vuong Phuong Nam - Chairman of the Provincial Party Committee's Inspection Committee.

In the period of 2021 - 2025, the Department of Planning and Investment has completed and put into use 76 projects, 29 projects are preparing for investment, 10 projects are behind schedule... The total capital recorded for the list of works and projects in the medium-term public investment plan is more than 4,000 billion VND, of which the approved investment capital is more than 19,000 billion VND. Every year, the Department coordinates well in preparing reports proposing investment policies, investment appraisal work; promptly advises the Provincial People's Committee to arrange capital to help works and projects to be implemented on schedule. In particular, organize inspections, checks, and sanctions 38/38 units violating the work of selecting contractors, implementing procedures, and legal regulations on bidding...

In addition to the achieved results, public investment in the province still faces many difficulties and delays due to site clearance; high prices of construction materials and supplies, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic; the forecasting ability of some consulting units does not meet practical requirements, leading to time lost in adjusting investment policies and delays in disbursing capital sources.

Members of the monitoring delegation requested the Department of Planning and Investment to find solutions to overcome the situation of shirking responsibility in resolving land clearance problems; regularly train staff to improve investment planning capacity; and minimize the addition of projects to the investment portfolio, except for truly urgent projects.

In order to effectively and legally implement public investment, Chairman of the Provincial Party Committee's Inspection Commission - Vuong Phuong Nam requested the Department of Planning and Investment to ensure fairness in contractor selection, consulting, design, and document preparation, especially boldly eliminating contractors with weak capacity. Comrade Vuong Phuong Nam said that the root cause of slow site clearance leading to many backlogged and stagnant projects is due to inappropriate compensation prices. Therefore, it is necessary to implement the correct compensation prices, promote the role of the Steering Committee for compensation, support, and resettlement to remove difficulties in the process of project implementation, and minimize complaints from the people.
