Focus on disbursing public investment by the end of 2023

Cu Lao Minh General Hospital project has been basically completed.

Slow due to land clearance

In 2023, the total planned investment capital from the state budget managed by the province is 6,178 billion VND. Of which, the total development investment capital managed by the locality under the state budget assigned by the Provincial People's Council is 5,425 billion VND.

According to the report of the Provincial Treasury, the disbursement of planned investment capital sources (including extended capital) by May 25, 2023 was more than 2 trillion VND, reaching a rate of more than 32.4% compared to the plan. There are 29 investors in total, of which 19 investors have slow disbursement progress. The main reason is that the site clearance work of the projects is still facing many difficulties in terms of capital. The progress of site handover is slower than planned due to procedures in land acquisition, determining land price adjustment coefficients, and negotiating compensation prices with people. The problems arising during the implementation process have limited the project's disbursement capacity.

The total capital for investment capital managed by the locality under the state budget in 2023 assigned by the Provincial People's Committee to the Project Management Board (PMU) for construction of civil and industrial works is currently 1,235 billion VND. The estimated volume and disbursement by the end of June 2023 reached over 27% of the plan. According to the PMU for construction of civil and industrial works, site clearance work for industrial park (IP) and industrial cluster (IC) projects still faces many difficulties. Currently, some items have not been able to implement infrastructure construction and hand over clean land to investors.

The main reasons are that some households have not agreed with the compensation value, legal disputes pending court settlement, inheritance disputes, errors in land use right certificates, many cases requesting opinions from the Compensation Council, coordination in monitoring and handling problems of units is not drastic enough, so the time is prolonged... Prices of some input construction materials have increased dramatically. The source of freshwater sand supplied by sand mines in and outside the province is scarce.

For the investment project to build 2 district-level medical centers, the Socio -Economic Recovery and Development Program, 2023 is the year the capital plan arrangement program ends. However, the capital plan will only be arranged in early 2023 to carry out construction bidding. It is expected that the remaining time from now until the end of the year will be very difficult to complete the construction of the project. Therefore, the possibility of not fully disbursing the assigned capital plan...

One of the projects with good progress is Cu Lao Minh General Hospital, Mo Cay Nam district, with a total investment of 80 billion VND, capital from the provincial budget in the medium-term public investment plan for the period 2021 - 2025 according to the criteria and allocation norms of the period, from 2021 - 2025. Up to now, the project has completed technical acceptance (May 22, 2023), expected to be put into use in June. Bidding packages for the supply and installation of office and medical equipment are being implemented, it is expected that in June 2023, the selection of contractors will be completed and the contract for the supply of office equipment will be signed. Regarding medical equipment, the Project Management Board for construction of civil and industrial works is examining the proposals of the using units and unifying the list. The disbursement plan for 2023 has reached 70%. The advantage of the Cu Lao Minh General Hospital Project (including 2 projects built on the existing area of Cu Lao Minh General Hospital) is that it does not require site clearance work.

Vice Chairman of Mo Cay Nam District People's Committee Nguyen Viet Thanh said: In the district, there are currently 3 investment projects funded by the state budget, which are the Project on Supplying Domestic Water for Residents in Minh Islet Area in the Conditions of Climate Change and Rising Sea Levels; Cu Lao Minh General Hospital; Tan Hoi Kindergarten Project, Mo Cay Nam District. In which, the water supply project is still stuck with site clearance work. This is one of the main reasons why the projects are behind schedule. This project aims to ensure adequate supply of fresh water for the needs of treating domestic water supply for people, supporting agricultural production, tourism, services and livelihood goals of Mo Cay Nam, Mo Cay Bac and Thanh Phu districts. At the same time, it creates conditions to attract investment, promote the development of industrial production, small-scale industry, services and tourism in the area, create more jobs for people, contributing to the overall development of society. The project has a total investment of over 752 billion VND. Implementation period 2018 - 2020 and after 2020. Up to now, phase 1 has been basically completed, construction of pipeline and booster pump station No. 2 is almost finished. To promote the efficiency of project exploitation, the Project Management Board of civil and industrial construction projects proposes to continue investing in phase 2 to synchronously connect with phase 1 that has been invested, in order to effectively exploit the project.

Solution by the end of the year

According to Deputy Director of the Department of Planning and Investment Dinh Thi Nhu Thao, the solution to implement the 6-month public investment plan in 2023 is to advise and direct the Working Group to inspect the disbursement of public investment capital in 2023 to urgently review, inspect, resolve and remove bottlenecks in the progress of implementation and disbursement of projects of investors, in order to promote the progress of implementation and disbursement of projects in accordance with the provisions of law; promptly advise and propose the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee to report to the Government and the Prime Minister on newly arising issues that exceed their authority.

At the same time, advise the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee to strictly handle investors, project management boards, organizations and individuals who intentionally cause difficulties, hinder and delay the progress of implementation and disbursement of investment capital; propose competent authorities to promptly replace cadres, civil servants and public employees who are weak in capacity, slow, cause harassment and resolutely handle negative behaviors in investment management. Review and advise on adjusting and transferring capital appropriately between projects with actual needs for construction implementation. Strive to disburse 100% of the investment capital plan from 2023 according to the direction of the Government.

Speed up the progress of works and projects, prioritize monitoring the progress of transitional projects to be completed in 2023. Complete site clearance work, deploy construction and investment of key projects (Investment in infrastructure construction of Phu Thuan Industrial Park; Road leading to Rach Mieu 2 Bridge; Investment in construction of Giao Long Port road to Phu Thuan Industrial Park (DT.DK.07) connecting Chau Thanh - Binh Dai district; Lac Dia freshwater reservoir, Phu Le commune).

Also according to the Department of Planning and Investment, for investors who are performing project management tasks invested by central ministries and branches in the area, they need to coordinate with the People's Committees of districts and cities where the investment projects are located to complete the site clearance work, creating conditions for the implementation of projects on schedule as approved. At the same time, enhance the responsibility for managing the progress of investment projects, minimize the request for extension of contract implementation progress for projects and construction works...
