TPO - Huynh Khac Diep, Secretary of the Binh Tan District Party Committee, said that the district had proposed reclaiming 5 land plots to carry out political tasks, but after more than a year, only 1/5 of the land plots have been developed, leading to waste.
On the afternoon of December 9th, the 20th session of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Council entered its group discussion session, focusing on the implementation of goals and tasks for 2024, and the theme and plan for implementing tasks in 2025.
Mr. Huynh Khac Diep, Secretary of the Binh Tan District Party Committee, acknowledged that Ho Chi Minh City's target of over 10% growth in 2025, aiming to meet the City Party Congress Resolution on growth rate, is a significant challenge. However, after reviewing the draft, he did not see any truly concrete and highly feasible solutions to achieve double-digit economic growth (GRDP) in the district.
Discussing solutions to achieve the above goal, Mr. Huynh Khac Diep emphasized the exploitation of resources, including land resources, which, although proposed in recent years, have not been effectively implemented.

Mr. Diep cited the example of Binh Tan District, where a review of the total land fund in the area and a proposal for the city to consider land plots managed by city-owned enterprises and corporations revealed inefficient exploitation, with many plots even being used only as parking lots.
Binh Tan District also proposed reclaiming 5 plots of land for other political purposes. However, after more than a year, the authorities have only implemented the projects on 1/5 of the land, leading to significant waste. Therefore, Mr. Diep argued that stricter procedures and processes are needed, especially in the context of the city's efforts to combat wastefulness as directed by General Secretary To Lam .
In addition, the Secretary of the Binh Tan District Party Committee also requested the city to accelerate the disbursement of public investment funds. According to Mr. Diep, to achieve effective results, the city should boldly decentralize and delegate more authority to districts and counties for the implementation of public investment projects.
"We need to delegate authority definitively and clearly to the districts and counties, because currently, although authority is decentralized to the districts and counties, the localities still seek the city's opinion. We need to completely entrust authority to the districts and counties, based on the principle that the localities make the decisions and are responsible for them," Mr. Diep suggested.

Concerned about the issue of wastefulness, District 1 Party Secretary Duong Anh Duc acknowledged that currently, "we are making things difficult for ourselves." According to Mr. Duc, the mechanism for managing land and public assets has two opposing approaches.
Specifically, some businesses in the city want to return the land they manage because they are not using it efficiently but are still paying land taxes, and are unable to pay them year after year. Conversely, there are places that want to reclaim land but are "unwilling to let it go." Mr. Duc believes this is related to the level and effectiveness of legal regulations.
Regarding the management of public assets, Deputy Director of the Department of Finance Tran Mai Phuong said that the department has sent a document requesting units to report specifically on the review of assets under management that are no longer needed, so that the department can report to the City People's Committee and propose related procedures.
According to Ms. Phuong, the project on managing, utilizing, and exploiting public assets and digitizing data is a matter of great interest not only to Ho Chi Minh City but also to the Ministry of Finance. The Ministry also has a program for managing public assets. Due to the large volume and quantity of public land and properties in the city, the Chairman of the People's Committee of Ho Chi Minh City has directed, and the department has coordinated with the University of Economics and Law (Vietnam National University Ho Chi Minh City) to implement the project on managing, utilizing, and exploiting public assets.
Mr. Huynh Thanh Hung, Deputy Head of the Economic and Budget Committee of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Council, suggested that the city needs to carefully consider and evaluate investment activities in the area. This stems from the fact that some projects, despite exceeding their implementation deadlines, remain unfinished.
"For example, the City Exhibition Center and the Vinh Loc B resettlement area. After investment, most projects are left vacant, and the infrastructure is deteriorating. Some projects are delayed, prolonged, and require adjustments to the total investment... resulting in a waste of social resources and funds," Mr. Hung said.
