The arrangement and merger of administrative units aims to create new development space, exploit the potential and advantages of the region; not only changes in administrative boundaries but more importantly, create new conditions, motivations and mechanisms for faster and more sustainable development, better serving the people.
Mr. Tri suggested that Vinh Long province, after the merger, urgently start work with a serious, drastic, proactive, creative and synchronous spirit. With the following key contents:
From July 1, all work under the authority of the two levels (province, commune) must be implemented smoothly, without delay, without omission, to better serve people and businesses. It is necessary to focus on shifting from "ad administrative service" to "people's service". In particular, ensuring the effective operation of commune-level public administrative centers, especially health, education, cultural services, etc.
The upcoming workload is very large, it is recommended to closely follow the Central's directives, resolutions and conclusions such as Directive 45-CT/TW, NQ 57, 66, 68, KL 123... to proactively develop a specific action plan, with a clear roadmap and progress, and put the Central's strategic orientation into practice.
"Relating the apparatus and merging administrative units is a correct and long-term policy, however, it can affect the thoughts and working positions of cadres and civil servants. The Central Government understands and hopes that cadres will promote exemplary spirit, for the common good, accept change to jointly carry out tasks", Mr. Tri emphasized this content.
