Politburo member and Standing member of the Secretariat Tran Cam Tu has just signed and issued Conclusion No. 170/KL-TW of the Secretariat. The Conclusion clearly states the strict prohibition of organizing festivals, congratulations on receiving positions, and promotions related to the arrangement and consolidation of administrative units.
This is a regulation with a great message, receiving the consensus and response of many people across the country.
That is, this is not the time to "congratulate" but everything is just starting, requiring a higher focus and sense of responsibility of civil servants.
What the Party, Government and people need from civil servants at this time is consensus, the spirit of starting to operate the two-level model smoothly, not the loud cries.
Not organizing festivals and congratulations on receiving positions or being promoted in terms of arranging and merging administrative units, it is not only a way to save but also a way to build a new public service culture: to keep oneself, be serious, professional and substantial in front of the people.
Because if the cadre considers receiving the position as a "grate" to celebrate, instead of a "mission" to start doing it right away, then that person himself may not fully understand his public service responsibilities.
The strict ban on parties at this time also shows sharing and sympathy for civil servants who have " Sacrificed" for the goal of streamlining and not being rearranged after the merger.
It is worth noting that, on the one hand, there are strictly prohibited parties for promulgation, but on the other hand, Conclusion 170 still encourages the organization of celebration activities, creating an exciting atmosphere among cadres, party members, and people, as long as they are practical, effective, not ostentatious, and do not use the state budget.
At the same time, there is no strict ban, but only a requirement to limit the organization of summaries, meetings, and breakups.
That shows the Secretariat's policy of not eliminating legitimate joys, but only wanting to adjust the way of expression, aiming to restrain the form, maintain discipline and respect the general context.
After the merger, whether staying in the old position or receiving new tasks or new positions, cadres must understand that they are at the forefront of a major transformation in the organization of the apparatus, the governance model and the way of serving the people.
Not having a party is a necessary reminder to replace the sense of responsibility in enjoying position.
The Secretariat's directive to ban the organization of celebrations also shows very positive movements. That administrative reform is not only streamlining the apparatus, but also "cleaning up" and upgrading public service culture, starting from the smallest things.
And that is what is needed to build a modern, effective, and honest administration.
