Comrade Nguyen Trong Hai, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee spoke at the meeting.

Speaking at the meeting, Mr. Nguyen Trong Hai, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee, said: The province's guiding viewpoint is to be resolute, determined, closely and specifically focused on removing difficulties in the disbursement of capital sources. All levels, sectors, localities and units must uphold the spirit of responsibility, dare to think, dare to do, and eliminate the fear of taking responsibility in implementing tasks. At the same time, it is necessary to be proactive and closely coordinate between relevant units in reviewing and removing difficulties for the common good. When there are problems, departments and sectors must study, clearly respond in writing and provide instructions on how to implement them for localities. Localities are requested to register the progress of disbursement of capital sources on a monthly basis. For the last 2 months, it is necessary to register the progress of implementation every 15 days.

Concluding the meeting, comrade Trinh Xuan Truong, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee emphasized: Disbursing capital sources is an important task, contributing significantly to promoting socio-economic development, especially economic growth of the province, demonstrating the responsibility of the heads of agencies, units and localities. Therefore, the more difficult it is, the more we must unite, try, be responsible, worry, and be unified from top to bottom, mobilizing the participation of the entire political system to speed up the disbursement of capital sources for the common development of the province.

The Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee frankly criticized the Chairmen of the People's Committees of Muong Khuong, Simacai districts, and Lao Cai city for the progress of capital disbursement for basic construction below the national average; criticized the Principal of Lao Cai College for not being able to disburse capital for equipment purchase (over 140 billion VND); reminded the Chairman of the People's Committees of Bac Ha and Bat Xat districts and the Head of the Provincial Construction Investment Management Board for the first time because the disbursement rate was lower than the provincial average. At the same time, he commended the Chairmen of the People's Committees of Bao Yen, Bao Thang, Van Ban districts and Sa Pa town for their efforts to achieve disbursement results above the provincial average.

Comrade Trinh Xuan Truong, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee concluded the meeting.

The Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee said that the reason for the delay in disbursing capital for basic construction investment, career capital and purchasing medical, educational and vocational training equipment was due to the low sense of responsibility of some agencies, units and localities, especially the role of the leaders. Many local leaders, agencies and units did not have a firm grasp of the implementation situation, only focusing on pointing out difficulties and obstacles without proposing solutions. The guidance of departments and branches did not focus on the core, leading to delays in the implementation process.

The Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee requested Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Nguyen Trong Hai to chair a meeting with departments and branches to resolve difficulties in site clearance. Regarding public investment capital, it is imperative to disburse all capital transferred from 2022 to 2023. The Department of Planning and Investment authorized localities to approve residential arrangement projects. Lao Cai College urgently completed procedures to disburse capital... Localities are requested to make efforts to deploy disbursement of capital for basic construction investment. By July 15, Muong Khuong, Simacai districts and Lao Cai city will disburse at least 20% more capital; Bac Ha and Bat Xat districts will disburse at least 15%; Bao Yen, Bao Thang, Van Ban districts and Sa Pa town will disburse over 10%. From July 15 onwards, maintain the disbursement rate of over 10%. Strive to disburse all capital for basic construction in 2023.

In addition, departments, branches, localities and units need to focus on reviewing difficulties and obstacles to propose plans and solutions to remove difficulties in disbursing capital sources and difficulties in purchasing assets from the state budget for the fields of health, education - training and vocational training in 2023; remove difficulties in acceptance and settlement of completed and ongoing traffic works; remove difficulties in fire prevention and fighting when implementing works and projects.
