Mr. Minh shared: "I often encourage people not to get married, not to have a third child, not to arbitrarily encroach on land, not to listen to bad people to incite...
I have to be an example, the family is harmonious so that my words can be convincing".From practical work, prestigious people have actively contributed to the mediation of many small conflicts among the people, contributing to maintaining the village spirit, security and order and stabilizing the area.
The Yen Nghiep commune government has recognized the important role of prestigious people. Currently, the whole commune has more than 10 prestigious people recognized and distributed evenly in the hamlets. This is the core force invited to participate in legal dissemination conferences, training on mediation skills and being provided with legal documents to disseminate to the community.

We always pay attention to and coordinate with all levels to organize training and foster legal knowledge so that they can promote their role in the locality well".
Notably, the work of legal dissemination in the commune also received close support from the Lac Son District Justice Department. According to Ms. Bui Thi Ha - Head of the District Justice Department, a prestigious person is a very special force, able to help the government bring the law to the people gently and effectively.
Propaganda is very close and has a widespread influence for prestigious people who speak ethnic languages and understand local customs.
