Mr. Truong Canh Tuyen - Chairman of Can Tho City People's Committee - has just signed and issued a document to strengthen the inspection of the progress of works and projects and take effective measures to create breakthroughs to speed up the disbursement progress of the public investment plan in 2025.
According to a report from the State Treasury of the XIX Region, by December 10, 2025, the disbursement rate of Can Tho City had only reached 44.59% of the plan assigned by the Prime Minister (lower than the average disbursement rate of the whole country estimated by the end of November 2025 at 60.6%).
According to the People's Committee of Can Tho City, the disbursement results show very slow progress. Some department directors, heads of sectors and Chairmen of People's Committees of communes and wards have not fully demonstrated their responsibilities, lack determination, experience and initiative in coordination, and have not taken strong measures to handle delayed bidding packages. If there is no innovation in the method, it will be very difficult to complete the 2025 capital disbursement plan.
Can Tho City leaders requested units to urgently review and allocate the entire remaining 2025 plan capital, ensuring detailed and accurate allocation. Investors must speed up investment preparation, complete contractor selection procedures and start construction soon. Proactively take specific measures to remove difficulties and obstacles related to investment procedures, land, resources, site clearance, and speed up construction progress.
Departments, branches and investor units make detailed disbursement plans for each project, closely following the week and month, considering this as the basis for assessing the level of task completion in 2025. Units must focus on directing, inspecting and promptly handling problems related to investment procedures, acceptance, settlement, compensation, resettlement support and site handover. The progress and disbursement efficiency are linked to the personal responsibility of the leader.
For contractors, resolutely handle violations of progress, quality or late submission of payment documents violating signed contract terms; immediately replace contractors who do not meet capacity. Units are required to proactively propose the transfer of construction volume from contractors at risk of being behind schedule to other contractors to ensure the overall progress of the project.
The city requires tightening discipline and order and enhancing civil servant responsibility in performing public investment tasks, ensuring correct goals, efficiency, economy, and compliance with legal regulations.
Resolutely and promptly handle organizations and individuals who violate and intentionally obstruct, cause difficulties, slow down the implementation and disbursement of the 2025 public investment capital plan. Timely replace weak or harassed and negative cadres, civil servants, public employees and workers in the implementation of investment capital management tasks.
For investors and Project Management Boards who do not meet the committed schedule, are late in submitting settlement reports or do not complete 100% of the 2025 capital disbursement plan, the responsibility of the head of the investor and project manager will be considered and handled; consider transferring investors and project managers, not allocating capital to start new projects, not assigning investors and managing new projects. The head of the unit must be fully responsible to the Chairman of the City People's Committee.
