Recalling the lesson from many cases that have caused many cadres to be disciplined, disciplined, and even prosecuted, the Prime Minister said that there is a reason for the superiors "taking care" of specific matters without decentralizing or delegating authority to subordinates.
The Prime Minister gave an example, recently the Ministry of Science and Technology transferred Hoa Lac High-Tech Park to Hanoi for management and emphasized that the Ministry must design policies and decentralize management to localities so that the whole country can have dozens of more high-tech parks like this.

Along with decentralization and delegation of authority to localities, ministries, branches and central agencies play a role in creating, not doing specific work but focusing on implementing 6 groups of state management tasks.
The Prime Minister noted that it is necessary to clearly stipulate the agencies with primary responsibility in management areas and closely coordinate between agencies, not to overlap or leave legal gaps in management areas.
Central ministries and branches design regulations, policies, standards, regulations, for example regulations on clean food, clean production... and strengthen supervision and inspection, nationwide, the ministries inspect, the provinces do, the grassroots do.
At the same time, continue to review to decentralize and delegate more power to which level is closer to reality, closer to the people, closer to the people, better and more effectively, assign the best work to which place, and let the people and businesses do what they do well.
