After listening to the proposals and comments of ministries and sectors and receiving and explaining from the Ministry of Justice, the Deputy Prime Minister expressed his sharing with ministries and agencies about the current large workload and highly appreciated the ministries and sectors for speaking frankly, strongly, responsibly as well as spending a lot of time and effort to research and contribute opinions to the draft project.
Emphasizing that the KPI system on law-making must be truly effective, the Deputy Prime Minister said that this is a new and difficult issue but extremely necessary to change from management by qualitative reporting to management by data, progress and specific responsibilities.
The Deputy Prime Minister assigned the Ministry of Justice to receive reasonable opinions, complete the project, and submit it to the Prime Minister before June 28 and pay attention to some key issues.
Accordingly, the pilot time is expected to be 1 year and then re-evaluate. At the same time, it is agreed that there must be criteria for assessing the responsibility for appraisal of the Ministry of Justice.
After reviewing, receiving, and explaining the opinions of ministries and sectors, the Ministry of Justice must clearly affirm whether the dossier is eligible for submission or not. If there is no clear opinion, points will be deducted.
It is necessary to study a scoring mechanism suitable to reality," the Deputy Prime Minister affirmed.
Regarding the K coefficient and bonus points, the Ministry of Justice clarifies the adjustment coefficient according to the number of documents and bonus points for arising tasks to ensure fairness between ministries.
Scoring criteria must be simple, easy to implement, and cover the progress and quality but not too many component criteria.
In addition, urgently complete the related information system for deployment from the third quarter of 2026. The system needs to be simple, flexible, interconnected with existing software and research AI applications to support scoring.
