The other two provinces have not yet reopened the registration center
On the afternoon of June 7, when asked questions, delegate Dang Bich Ngoc (Hoa Binh delegation) said that in the past time, many registration centers have closed when the police agency prosecuted and investigated cases related to these centers.
“The closure of registration centers causes frustration and difficulties for people and businesses, through contact with voters, people propose to create conditions for reopening registration centers. Minister's solution to reopen centers soon?", asked the delegation of Hoa Binh.
In response to the above question, Transport Minister Nguyen Van Thang said that there are only two provinces in the country, Bac Kan and Hoa Binh, that have not yet reopened the registration center. With Hoa Binh, Mr. Thang said that he directly worked with the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and the Director of the Department of Transport on the reopening of the registration center.
Accordingly, the Ministry of Transport supported the training of an officer introduced by Hoa Binh province, then took the entrance exam and granted a certificate to take the position of leader of the Registration Center. The Ministry of Transport also coordinates with local departments to arrange registrars.
“This registration center will be reopened soon because there are no more problems. The most difficult thing is that leadership is already taken care of," said Minister Nguyen Van Thang.
At the end of June, registration will return to normal
Debating with the Minister, delegate Nguyen Truong Giang (Dak Nong delegation) said that with the current mechanism, it is difficult to maintain registration centers. Therefore, according to him, it is necessary to renew the financial mechanism, to register as a public service that the State does not do, to create conditions for enterprises to perform.
Delegate Tran Thi Kim Nhung (Quang Ninh delegation) said that the cause of the current shortage of registration staff is the responsibility of the Ministry of Transport, which the Minister has not indicated.
"Is it not proactive or not coordinated with relevant ministries and agencies in coming up with an alternative and response plan before leading to a situation of halting operations," Dung said.
Answering a debate question, Minister of Transport Nguyen Van Thang said that the incidents that happened in the recent registration activities were very serious and caused consequences, people and businesses had to wait, worked hard, went back and forth but could not register.
Mr. Thang said that over the past time, 600 leaders, registrars, civil servants and public employees have been prosecuted. Up to 106 registration centers were closed. Therefore, recently, the Ministry of Transport closely coordinated with other ministries, especially the Ministry of Public Security to focus on removing.
The Minister of Transport said that, having just received the assignment, he actively studied how to adjust the registration regulations to match international practices, especially saving costs and time for the people. At the same time, review all registration activities to be both modern and airy.
“This includes the exemption from the first registration of new vehicles and the extension of the registration cycle. This will certainly reduce costs and time for people and businesses,” Thang said.
Mr. Nguyen Van Thang said that there are only about 2.000 registrars in the whole country, but the recent case has lost nearly a third of them. To recruit a registrar takes a lot of time, through many training steps that take a whole year. When the registration violation happened, the Ministry of Transport asked the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of National Defense to support the force, mobilize the registrars nationwide to return to the stations that are in short supply, and invite the newly retired registrars to come back, they have to work overtime and have no days off.
Currently, the Registry Department has also recruited 350 registrars. In the near future, the Ministry of Transport will submit to the Government to amend Decree 139, the human resources for registration in the coming time will be adequate.
The Minister affirmed: "We commit that only by the end of June and the beginning of July, the registration centers will operate normally."
Asking questions, delegate Nguyen Thi Hue (Bac Kan delegation) was interested in training management, testing, and driving license renewal.
According to Ms. Hue, this problem still has many limitations such as training beyond the number of licenses; studying and taking the test is still formal; and the status of issuing driver's licenses to drug addicts and people with behavioral incompetence and health.
“Can you please tell me the solution to end this situation in order to improve the quality of this work?” asked Hue delegate.
According to Minister Nguyen Van Thang, when the Ministry of Transport comprehensively inspected the training, testing and issuance of driver's licenses in 63 provinces and cities, there were problems with the quality of training, organization, testing (including theory and practice), and licensing for addicts.
"When I discovered this, I directed the inspector to strictly handle it and transferred 6 files to the police agency for investigation and clarification," Thang said, adding that the Ministry of Transport has urgently tightened management so that in the coming time "definitely not to let the situation of training and driving licenses for addicts happen".
