Prime Minister: "Get rid of the mindset of not knowing but still managing, if you can't manage then ban"

(Dan Tri) - In law-making, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh requires a decisive abandonment of the mindset of "if you can't manage, ban it; if you don't know, manage it anyway." Instead, whoever manages best should be given the task.

In law-making, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh requested to resolutely abandon the mindset of "if you can't manage, ban; if you don't know, manage." Instead, whoever manages best should be assigned the task. This guiding spirit was emphasized by Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh, Head of the Steering Committee for reviewing and organizing the implementation of handling problems in the legal system, when concluding the 4th meeting of the Steering Committee on the afternoon of December 29. The meeting focused on discussing and giving opinions on handling problems and shortcomings related to decentralization, delegation of power, and authorization; reviewing legal documents affected by organizational and apparatus arrangements.

According to the Ministry of Justice , to date, there are more than 5,000 documents directly affected by the reorganization of the apparatus, of which more than 2,800 documents are related to changes in the names of agencies, organizations and units; nearly 1,900 documents have content that needs to be handled immediately and more than 300 documents have content that needs to be handled but is not urgent. Meanwhile, the Ministry of Home Affairs said that the laws on decentralization, delegation of power and authorization are mainly stipulated in the draft Law on Government Organization (amended); the draft Law on Organization of Local Government (amended) and a number of specialized laws. Through review, there are more than 1,000 legal documents containing content related to the above two Laws. Emphasizing a number of guiding viewpoints, the Prime Minister requested to resolutely abandon the mindset of "if you can't manage, ban, if you don't know, manage". Instead, he thoroughly implemented the mindset of "whoever manages best should be given the task", "people and businesses can do what the law does not prohibit", "what is prohibited should be put into the law, what is not prohibited should be created space for creativity", "what businesses and people can do and do better, the State definitely will not do". According to the Prime Minister, State management only focuses on building strategies, planning, laws, mechanisms, policies, creating development; promoting decentralization and delegation of power along with appropriate resource allocation, improving enforcement capacity, designing tools to strengthen inspection, supervision, and control of power. The Government leader emphasized that the work should not be "taken" to the Central Government, but localities should decide, localities should do, and localities should be responsible.
