As noted by the Labor reporter, from April 1, 2024, Son La Provincial Inspectorate issued official dispatch No. 192/Ttr-GSKL&XLSTT on urging the implementation of Inspection Conclusions. In the document, the Provincial Inspectorate requested the Chairman of Thuan Chau District People's Committee to direct relevant units to recover and pay the amount of 1,185,493,260 VND to the district budget and report before June 30, 2024.
But when the deadline came, Thuan Chau district still did not refund the money to the budget .
However, that urging document is not the first, in total Son La province has had 11 documents requesting Thuan Chau district to refund budget violations.
The case occurred in 2016, the authorities discovered financial violations of nearly 1.2 billion VND at the resettlement project of Huoi Tat village, Liep Te commune, Thuan Chau district. After that, the Chairman of Son La Provincial People's Committee issued a decision to request the above amount to be recovered into the budget.
As a reminder, the Chairman of Son La province issued a decision to revoke.
The above incident is not a big deal about money, but shows two other big problems, one is a mistake that occurred in a resettlement project. This means that money is mixed up. If there are no signs of embezzlement, it is still a procedural violation, and it is worth disciplining the individuals and groups involved.
However, 8 years have passed, Thuan Chau district leaders still pretend that nothing happened. There was only one move to return the money for violations to the budget, but through 11 written requests from the province, Thuan Chau district still did not comply.
The second biggest problem is exactly as the saying goes: "top tells bottom, bottom doesn't listen". The provincial chairman directed, but the district chairman did not listen.
If, with just the first written request, the Chairman of Thuan Chau district did not comply with the order and the Chairman of Son La province handled it resolutely, there would not be an 8-year delay like today. Because of being permissive and not being handled strictly, subordinates will not listen to their superiors and will disregard the law.
In the 12th document sent to Thuan Chau district to "demand" money for the budget, Son La Provincial Inspectorate requested Mr. Quang Van Dung - Chairman of Thuan Chau District People's Committee to seriously direct relevant units to make the refund. money. Deadline for reporting is September 30, 2024.
Public opinion across the country is paying attention to the case of the Provincial Chairman directing but the District Chairman not listening in Son La. The answer waits until the end of September this year.
