The Ministry of Public Security is developing a draft Decree on the management and use of funds collected from sanctioning administrative violations of road traffic order and safety and auctioning license plates.
According to the draft, the drafting agency proposed allowing the Police force to use this funding source to reward groups and individuals who provide valuable information to help ensure traffic order and safety. ; collectives and individuals with outstanding achievements in ensuring traffic order and safety according to the provisions of law.
Accordingly, the payment for collectives and individuals who have provided valuable information to help ensure traffic order and safety shall not exceed 5 million VND/case.
This proposal is receiving great attention from public opinion. This is the first time a mechanism to reward people who provide information about traffic order and safety has been officially proposed in a legal document, aiming to apply uniformly nationwide.
Previously, in 2023, Ho Chi Minh City was the first locality in the country to have a mechanism to reward people with 10 million VND per news (case), but only in the field of anti-corruption information.
Returning to the field of traffic safety. Previously, calling on the entire population to participate in providing information about violations of traffic order and safety was implemented by many localities and units.
Police in many localities have also publicized the Zalo page and hotline, asking people to actively provide information, photos, and videos reflecting traffic violations.
However, whistleblowing is mainly based on people's voluntariness, and there is no mechanism to pay or reward those who provide valuable information.
Therefore, the proposed monetary reward mechanism of the Ministry of Public Security this time is an important and welcome step to encourage people to be more proactive in reporting violations, contributing to improving efficiency in work. ensure traffic order and safety.
However, this mechanism also has many potential risks that need to be carefully considered, especially ensuring transparency and fairness in awarding rewards.
With this proposal, of course the Police do not have to use money to call for denunciations of violations, but only encourage people's initiative as mentioned.
But if the "encouragement" is not done skillfully and healthily with clear, transparent and fair criteria, it can easily lead to a situation where people report for money and report for money. Inaccurate information!
