Voter Hoang Duc Long (Ward 6, District 5) asked the City People's Committee to evaluate the implementation of the Government's Project 06, especially the remaining contents that cause frustration for the people.

Mr. Bui Huu Huy Hoang, Chairman of Ward 13 People's Committee, District 3, raised the issue that currently, the People's Committee and the police at all levels are mobilizing people to implement level 2 identification accounts. When people go anywhere, they only need to use a phone with VNeID software to be accepted. However, currently, people report that even though they have identification accounts and VNeID software, when they go to some places, they are still required to provide original documents.

Actively overcome technical and human limitations in digital transformation
Responding to voters' opinions, Director of the Department of Information and Communications of Ho Chi Minh City Lam Dinh Thang said that recently, Ho Chi Minh City leaders have resolutely directed the implementation of an information system for handling administrative procedures. In just 5 months, this system has been completed. People only need to declare information once, the entire procedure process is done online, saving costs and time for people and businesses. In addition, people and supervisory agencies can also monitor the administrative procedure processing process, avoiding harassment.
Through this system, Ho Chi Minh City will reorganize its centralized information technology system and restructure administrative procedures. However, currently, the application of information technology in administrative reform still faces technical and human difficulties.
“To move operations from a physical environment to a digital environment, there must be digital civil servants, technical staff, and digital citizens. This process requires time for both conversion and training,” said Lam Dinh Thang, Director of the Department of Information and Communications.
Regarding application errors in the process of implementing online administrative procedures, the Director of the Department of Information and Communications identified 4 causes through review: Due to software, due to the information connection process between Ho Chi Minh City and ministries, due to transmission lines and equipment, due to users.
Accordingly, the Department of Information and Communications has built a switchboard system to record people's feedback. From October 2022 to May 2023, the Department of Information and Communications recorded 7,000 calls and processed them immediately. The Department will also study and complete the system software and work with ministries and branches to connect data.
According to Mr. Lam Dinh Thang, the Ministry of Information and Communications is resolutely fixing problems with submarine optical cables and investing in building new submarine optical cable systems in the near future.
On the side of Ho Chi Minh City Police, Deputy Head of the Department of Administrative Management of Social Order (PC06) of Ho Chi Minh City Police, Ho Thi Lanh, said that Ho Chi Minh City was recognized by the Project 06 Working Group as one of the leading units in the country in implementing and deploying the project. However, some people have reported that the transmission infrastructure is still limited, especially during peak hours. Some citizen data is not accurate, affecting the transactions and handling of administrative procedures of the people.
According to the Deputy Head of PC06, in the coming time, Ho Chi Minh City Police will advise the Steering Committee of Project 06 to propose solutions to upgrade technical infrastructure, transmission lines, and improve the interface. At the same time, Ho Chi Minh City Police will continue to direct the force to urgently clean up citizen data, continue to promote the hotline 0693.187.111 to receive and promptly resolve people's feedback on residence, CCCD, VNIeD.
Ho Chi Minh City Police also recommend that citizens proactively check information on the national public service portal and contact the police where they have registered their permanent residence for support in updating and correcting information if there are any errors.
