The four department directors criticized include the Department of Natural Resources and Environment; Finance; Labor - Invalids and Social Affairs; and Agriculture and Rural Development.
Chairman Tran Hong Thai's criticism is justified, because by December 2024, Lam Dong province has not yet issued 16 legal documents related to the Land Law under the local authority. This delay is due to the advisory work of the departments, causing the Provincial People's Committee to not be able to submit to the Provincial People's Council for promulgation.
Criticism is not enough, these criticisms are considered when evaluating the work quality of directors and leaders of relevant departments and branches in 2024.
On October 10, 2024, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh signed Official Dispatch No. 105/CD-TTg on focusing on directing and implementing the Land Law, including criticism of provinces and cities that are still slow in issuing detailed regulations and instructions for implementing the Land Law.
Although Lam Dong is not on the list of 13 provinces and cities being criticized, if local leaders do not tighten management and urge departments to implement work, the delay will be prolonged, affecting the socio-economic development of the province.
Tighten work discipline, promote the responsibility of leaders, then work will run smoothly. Department directors who are criticized are responsible to the Provincial Chairman, cannot blame subordinates or the collective.
Department directors have the right to criticize and discipline subordinates who do not complete their tasks or push work around, in order to rectify the unit's operations. Without discipline, there can be no good results in management and operations.
Be resolute and fair in evaluating work quality. Who can do the job and who cannot complete the task must be clearly stated, distinguished, and measured specifically through work, not emotionally.
Fairness and objectivity in evaluating staff based on work quality is the motivation for competent, dedicated people to work. If there is equality, there will be no room for talented people.
The criticism of department directors by the Chairman of Lam Dong province is in line with the directive spirit of "not allowing state agencies to be safe havens for weak officials" as stated by General Secretary To Lam. If you have been criticized and continue to be assigned tasks but still fail to complete them, you must "step aside and let someone else do it".
