“We must strengthen leadership and direction, do a good job of ideological work for ourselves and our own agencies and units, contributing to creating unity in the entire political system under the unified leadership and direction of the Party.”
That is one of the important instructions of Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh, related to the arrangement of the apparatus at the regular Government meeting on December 7.
The Prime Minister emphasized the need to do a good job of ideological work at this time because this is a fundamental issue, the key to building consensus on all issues. As the saying goes, "If your thoughts are not clear, even carrying a vase is heavy."
We must do a good job of ideological work because according to the plan, the number of agencies subject to rearrangement is very large, leading to a situation where many cadres, civil servants and public employees are redundant.
This not only directly affects their jobs, but also has consequences for their psychology, ideology, and even their livelihood.
Those most affected are often the leadership team or those in stable positions within the organization.
The challenge is to make this team understand that streamlining the apparatus is not only a political task, but also an opportunity to improve the quality of governance, creating a more effective and efficient apparatus.
Or as the Vice Chairman of the National Assembly's Committee on Culture and Education, Ta Van Ha, emphasized when answering Lao Dong, "any revolution requires sacrifice" and the arrangement and merger of the apparatus requires courage and sacrifice from cadres.
In this case, if the thinking is not clear, it will lead to "reaction", sometimes causing the opposite effect.
Doing good ideological work of course cannot be done by just talking about it, but must be accompanied by many factors. But the most important thing is reasonable policies and regimes.
As assessed by the Steering Committee on the summary of the implementation of Resolution No. 18-NQ/TW (Government Steering Committee), it is necessary to have strong and outstanding policies for those affected by the reorganization process, in order to reduce the pressure on ideology and psychology of cadres, civil servants, and public employees and ensure the rights of cadres, civil servants, and public employees during the reorganization process...
The Steering Committee also assigned the Ministry of Home Affairs to propose policies and regimes for cadres, civil servants and public employees, ensuring the rights of cadres and civil servants when implementing the organizational restructuring with a deadline of December 10 for a detailed report.
Of course, what redundant officials, civil servants and workers are expecting is a “strong, outstanding policy”, in addition to financial support, there are also solutions to support new jobs, retraining or skills development to adapt to new positions.
Strong, outstanding, reasonable and humane policies not only clear up thoughts and reduce psychological burdens, but also clearly demonstrate the State's concern for cadres and civil servants in the reorganization process!
