In the afternoon of February 24, Member of the Party Central Committee, Deputy Prime Minister Ho Quoc Dung chaired a meeting with the Ministry of Justice and relevant ministries and agencies on the implementation and development of a number of draft laws and resolutions chaired by the Ministry of Justice, expected to be submitted to the National Assembly at the 1st Session, 16th National Assembly.
According to the Ministry of Justice, the draft revised Capital Law completes the regulations to ensure effective and strict implementation in supervision, inspection and accountability of the city government in exercising its powers.
On that basis, the draft revised Capital Law delegates 174 powers from the Central Government to the Capital Government. Of which, 107 powers are delegated to the People's Council; 59 powers are delegated to the People's Committee; 8 powers are delegated to the Chairman of the City People's Committee.
According to the draft, many powers are assigned to Hanoi City, such as the organization of the city government, assigning Hanoi to be proactive in deciding on the organization of the government apparatus; job positions, public service regimes, income regimes, bonuses; comprehensive autonomy regime for public non-business units.
Hanoi City proactively decides on policies for science and technology development, innovation, digital transformation; supporting infrastructure development, forming markets, economic and cultural types based on science, technology, and innovation.
The draft revised Capital Law also supplements special mechanisms and policies to help the Capital attract and effectively use resources in finance, investment and resources in organizational structure and staffing.
Speaking to direct at the meeting, Deputy Prime Minister Ho Quoc Dung emphasized that the revised Capital Law stipulates many new, breakthrough policies, assigning more authority to Hanoi City. This is a difficult draft law, with broad content, related to many fields and many ministries and sectors.
However, the Deputy Prime Minister requested the Ministry of Justice to continue to direct the review of the entire draft based on the opinions of ministries and sectors; thoroughly complete each content, each word, ensuring that when submitted to the National Assembly, the draft has been carefully prepared, minimizing the arising of obstacles in the implementation process.
Avoid the situation where laws are issued but when implemented, they encounter many difficulties, obstacles, and inadequacies; or regulations are not clear, not practical, leading to infeasibility," the Deputy Prime Minister noted.
In which, ensuring that decentralization and delegation of power must be strong enough and clear enough for Hanoi to have conditions to break through, but at the same time not affect the general principles of the legal system and national interests.
For fields with different opinions such as planning, education and training, culture, sports and tourism..., the Deputy Prime Minister requested the Ministry of Justice to study and reasonably absorb; carefully review the contents that have been stipulated in current decentralization and delegation of power laws to avoid duplication.
With the in-depth specialized opinions of the State Bank of Vietnam, the Ministry of Justice fully absorbs and exchanges carefully to ensure regulations are consistent with management practices and international practices.
