The Ministry of Home Affairs has received a petition from voters in Ninh Binh province sent by the National Assembly's Petition and Supervision Committee.
Voters recommend paying attention to implementing policies for commune-level cadres, civil servants and part-time workers in villages and hamlets.
Currently, after implementing the two-level local government model, the workload at the grassroots level is increasing, the task requirements are increasingly high, while the treatment, income and allowances for this force are still low, not commensurate with the assigned responsibilities.
This causes difficulties in attracting and retaining capable and dedicated people to work long-term at the facility.
Voters proposed to adjust the allowance level, complete the policy for part-time workers in villages and hamlets, ensuring that it is suitable for the nature of the work and the actual contribution level.
Voters also proposed to soon issue specific instructions on the arrangement of organizations, mass associations and policies and regimes for grassroots cadres after the merger, streamlining the apparatus.
