Resolutely carry out the revolution of streamlining the apparatus

General Secretary To Lam pointed out that streamlining the organizational apparatus is an especially important task, a revolution, and must be carried out with the highest determination.

Be proactive, don't wait
On November 19, General Secretary To Lam, Head of the Central Steering Committee on summarizing the implementation of Resolution 18/2017 of the 12th Party Central Committee "Some issues on continuing to innovate and reorganize the political system to be streamlined and operate effectively and efficiently", chaired the first meeting of the Steering Committee.

Concluding the meeting, General Secretary To Lam emphasized that summarizing Resolution No. 18 is an especially important task, a revolution in streamlining the organization of the political system, which must be carried out with the highest determination and drastic action of the entire political system.

The Steering Committee unanimously determined the highest political determination in implementing the Politburo's policy on summarizing Resolution No. 18 and arranging and perfecting the organization of the political system to be streamlined and operate effectively and efficiently.

Party committees, party organizations, agencies, units, levels, sectors, first of all, leaders and heads need to be exemplary and proactive in performing assigned tasks. Identify priority work contents and coordinate smoothly in implementation.

We must urgently carry out the work in the spirit of "running while queuing", the Central level does not wait for the provincial level; the provincial level does not wait for the district level; the district level does not wait for the grassroots level. The Steering Committee, the Editorial Team, and the Standing Office of the Steering Committee must be proactive and not wait for the Party committees, Party organizations, agencies, and units.

The summary process, according to the General Secretary, must be conducted objectively, democratically, scientifically, specifically, deeply, receptively, and closely following the practical situation; clearly identify weaknesses, shortcomings, and causes; propose and arrange a streamlined organizational structure, ensuring comprehensiveness, synchronization, and connectivity; one agency must perform many tasks, and one task must be assigned to only one agency to preside over and take primary responsibility.

During the implementation process, it is necessary to adhere to the Party's principles, Political Platform, Party Charter, Constitution, laws and practices.

The General Secretary pointed out that the work of streamlining the organizational apparatus is very difficult, sensitive, and complicated, directly affecting each person in each organization, especially in proposing the dissolution and merger of some agencies and organizations. There must be solidarity, high determination, courage, and even the sacrifice of personal interests for the common interests of each party member, cadre, civil servant, and public employee.

To do so, it is necessary to do a good job of political and ideological work, strengthen propaganda work throughout the political and social system about policies, requirements, and tasks of streamlining the apparatus in the new situation.

Ensure the machine operates continuously and smoothly
General Secretary To Lam requested to synchronously implement the streamlining of the organizational apparatus in conjunction with restructuring the staff with sufficient qualities and capacity to match the tasks, with reasonable staffing.

Strongly innovate the work of recruitment, training, promotion, appointment, rotation, transfer, and evaluation of cadres in a practical direction, because finding people, on the basis of specific measurable products, has no forbidden areas, no exceptions in evaluating cadres. Have an effective mechanism to screen and remove from work those who do not have enough qualities, capacity, prestige and to use those with outstanding capacity.

Agencies, units and localities closely follow the contents of the Steering Committee's plan to implement assigned tasks, ensuring progress and quality.

In particular, the Standing Committee of the Steering Committee needs to focus on researching and clarifying the consistent principles and specific criteria in each content.

Continue to clarify solutions, steps, and roadmaps to ensure the apparatus operates continuously and smoothly, without missing any time, location, or field; the new apparatus operates effectively and efficiently immediately; promptly issue policies to ensure the legitimate rights and interests of cadres, party members, civil servants, public employees, and workers affected by organizational reforms...

Based on the established principles, continue to research and absorb the opinions of the Steering Committee members, opinions of agencies and units through the summary; opinions of experts, scientists, practical cadres, refer to foreign experiences... From there, propose specific measures to streamline Party committees, ministries, ministerial-level agencies, agencies under the National Assembly, and organizations.

General Secretary To Lam noted that the implementation process needs to be closely monitored to detect and replicate good and effective practices; promptly correct and prevent deviations, ensuring implementation in accordance with the set goals, requirements and roadmap.
