However, the Government 's Report shows that some decentralization contents are not clear; decentralization and delegation of power in some areas are still problematic; organization and assignment of tasks are not clear, causing difficulties in implementation.

From the above situation, delegates suggested that, according to the authority of each sector and each level, it is necessary to comprehensively review the legal documents issued by them, promptly amend, supplement or replace them to be consistent with the mechanisms and policies of the new government; ensure consistency, transparency, no overlap, duplication or omission of tasks. Strongly decentralize to localities the contents related to the implementation of citizens' rights and obligations, so that citizens' work can be resolved on the spot, conveniently and quickly.

Also related to the revolution of restructuring the apparatus, streamlining the payroll, and the two-level local government model, National Assembly Delegate Nguyen Thi Yen (Ho Chi Minh City) said that it is necessary to pay attention to ensuring the lives of cadres, civil servants, and public employees, ensuring that this team wholeheartedly and wholeheartedly performs the assigned responsibilities and tasks.

Delegates recommended that the Government soon develop a framework for job positions, salary policies, and payrolls for all those receiving state salaries. This includes allowances for positions, fields, localities, and specific characteristics. At the same time, it must be transparent so that people know, avoiding the current situation where each industry and each level has its own payroll and each specialized law has its own policies.

Emphasizing that the press agency is the mouthpiece, guiding public opinion, and the agency that brings the Party's guidelines, policies, resolutions, laws into life in the fastest and most effective way. Journalists are soldiers on the ideological front, each pen and image is a sharp weapon in all fields. However, this agency has not received due attention. At this session, the Press Law was amended, but it is a framework law. Delegate Nguyen Thi Yen suggested that the Government pay attention and create all conditions for investment in facilities, because to have a beautiful photo or a good film requires modern equipment and machinery. At the same time, training, fostering, promoting and having a salary policy for the press team to feel secure in their work.

Emphasize, in 4 months of operating the two-level local government, we have achieved a great deal, which is to successfully carry out a revolution to rearrange the country and reorganize the state administrative organization model. Implemented synchronously and comprehensively in terms of institutional system and policies. Up to now, the operation has been basically stable, smooth, continuous, synchronous, and recognized by the people; in particular, many localities have creative, flexible ways of working, promptly solving arising problems.

However, because it is a new and unprecedented issue, initial difficulties and problems are inevitable.
