Concerns about the consequences of officials taking waste prevention lightly

According to National Assembly delegate Mai Thi Phuong Hoa, there are still some officials who take lightly the fight against waste in management activities, and do not consider waste as a dangerous behavior for society.

Not considering waste as a dangerous behavior for society

This morning (November 4), continuing the 8th Session, the National Assembly discussed in the hall about socio -economic development.

Speaking, National Assembly delegate Mai Thi Phuong Hoa, Vice Chairwoman of the Judiciary Committee ( Nam Dinh delegation) said that recently the State has paid great attention to and supported the work of overcoming the consequences caused by storm No. 3, helping people who suffered damage to soon stabilize their lives.

"We appreciate the fact that the Vietnam Fatherland Front has mobilized and received over 2,000 billion VND and has published a statement to make it public and transparent to help people monitor," said the delegate.

According to delegate Hoa, in recent times, the Party and the State have paid great attention to the work of combating waste. In particular, the Politburo issued Directive No. 27-CT/TW on strengthening the Party's leadership in the work of practicing thrift and combating waste; the National Assembly conducted supreme supervision and issued resolutions on practicing thrift and combating waste.

Most recently, the Central Steering Committee on anti-corruption and anti-negativity has been given the additional task of preventing and combating waste, focusing on preventing and combating waste in the management and use of public finance and public assets. In particular, General Secretary To Lam's article on combating waste has correctly assessed the current situation, pointed out the causes, and proposed many very accurate solutions.

According to the delegate, this is a strong and profound message encouraging all people, especially officials in the public apparatus, to reconsider the way resources are used and managed throughout society.

The article assessed that waste is still quite common, in many different forms, and has caused many serious consequences for development.

According to delegate Hoa, this situation has four main causes:

Firstly, a number of officials have a mentality of taking lightly the fight against waste in management activities. For a long time, they have only considered waste as a behavior that needs to be overcome but not to a serious level, and have not considered waste as a dangerous behavior for society.

Second, some officials still think that waste is only the ineffective management and use of state capital and assets. But in reality, there is also waste of opportunities and time.

"Wasting opportunities and time is the biggest waste of intangible assets of human beings. Once opportunities and time pass, they will never return. As General Secretary To Lam has stated, cumbersome administrative procedures waste the time of people and businesses. Fear of responsibility and shirking work will waste development opportunities for the locality and the country," the delegate emphasized.

Achievement disease, tenure mindset

Third, according to delegate Hoa, the disease of achievement, the mindset of tenure, the subjective mindset of some officials who want to carry out projects near their locality, ministry, and within their term as leader to demonstrate their capacity. The dynamism but due to hasty work, subjective calculation, and failure to fully comply with procedures, does not bring about the desired results.

Recently, the Central Steering Committee on preventing and combating corruption, waste and negativity has pointed out and named a number of projects as the most specific examples.

Fourth, sanctions for waste have been issued but their deterrence is not high, mainly warning and reminder.

From there, the delegate emphasized that if we successfully fight waste like we have fought corruption in the past, our country will certainly firmly enter a new era.

National Assembly delegate Nguyen Huu Thong (Binh Thuan delegation) said that in this session, the Government presented many contents and many draft laws to remove obstacles, inadequacies and overlaps in legal documents such as the Investment Law, the Public Investment Law, the Law on Investment under the public-private partnership model or to consider giving opinions on the draft Resolution on specific policies to remove obstacles for land projects in the conclusions of inspections, examinations and judgments in Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, Khanh Hoa, etc.

This demonstrates the strong creative spirit of the Government and the Prime Minister.

In the coming time, delegate Thong suggested that the Government continue to direct ministries, branches and localities to continue reviewing and evaluating projects and works with current institutional problems, such as: projects through inspection, examination, investigation, judgment, projects with slow implementation due to lack of synchronization of legal documents... to propose solutions.

Thereby, it is possible to issue specific, pilot mechanisms for a number of specific projects or in a number of specific localities to implement, evaluate and replicate, in order to promote social resources for national development.

As General Secretary To Lam's recent article stated, "to seize opportunities, push back challenges, strongly increase resources to care for the people, enrich the country in the new revolutionary period, and build a bright future, the work of preventing and combating waste needs to be implemented drastically and synchronously with effective solutions, creating a strong spread, becoming voluntary and self-aware of each cadre, party member and citizen, and a culture of behavior in the new era."
