On October 2, the Standing Committee of the People's Council of Gia Lai province, term XII (2021 - 2026) held a question-and-answer session between two sessions.
In which, the delegates presented the reasons for the slow disbursement of public investment capital. According to Mr. Dinh Huu Hoa - Deputy Director of the Department of Planning and Investment of Gia Lai province, the Provincial People's Committee has issued many documents directing the implementation of basic construction work.
However, the disbursement rate of capital from the State budget is still lower than the national average. As of September 17, Gia Lai province has disbursed nearly VND 1,675 billion, reaching 37.8% of the total capital plan for 2024.
Among them, there are many projects that have not been disbursed or the disbursement rate is lower than the national average. The reason is that the investors are still in the final bidding stage to approve the project, then sign the implementation contract...
The shortfall in land use fees has made it impossible to implement many projects using this source of capital. Therefore, there are projects that have volume but cannot pay for completed volume.
Currently, the lack of raw materials, soil, sand, gravel, etc. is one of the main reasons why projects are behind schedule and contractors are sluggish and stuck.
Some districts in Gia Lai proposed that the Provincial People's Committee soon direct specialized agencies to appraise and submit for approval the land mine planning in the area to facilitate the exploitation of land resources for filling projects.
However, the approval process for land mines is currently lengthy and complicated, requiring the opinions of the Department of Natural Resources and Environment and relevant agencies. This leads to delays in project appraisal and approval.
In addition, there is a situation where land mines have been removed from the planning of 3 types of forests but are stuck in the mechanism and have not been handed over to local management.
According to Mr. Dinh Huu Hoa - Deputy Director of the Department of Planning and Investment of Gia Lai province, the province strives to achieve a disbursement rate of over 95% by the end of the year. To achieve this, the province must focus on removing obstacles in compensation and site clearance.
Gia Lai Provincial People's Committee also directed to strictly handle responsibilities for investors, units, groups and individuals who are slow to implement tasks, affecting the province's disbursement progress.
