The Constitution must be studied if district-level government is abolished

Vương Trần |

According to the Vice Chairman of the Law and Justice Committee, if the plan to reorganize and abolish the district level is implemented, the amendment to the Constitution will have to be considered.

On the morning of February 28, at a press conference of the Office of the President, the press raised questions related to the Law on Organization of Local Government (amended).

Accordingly, currently, the Politburo and the Secretariat have issued Conclusion 126, which includes the content of studying the removal of district level and merger of a number of provinces and cities. So when implementing this content, must the Law on Organization of Local Government and the Constitution be amended or not?

Responding to this content, Vice Chairman of the National Assembly's Committee on Law and Justice Nguyen Phuong Thuy said that the Law on Organization of Local Government (amended) issued at this time ensures compliance with the provisions of the 2013 Constitution.

Current administrative units are to maintain provincial, district, commune levels and regulations on the organization of People's Councils, People's Committees, and local government levels to ensure compliance with the provisions of the Constitution.

Ms. Thuy also said that recently, according to Conclusion 126 of the Politburo, new requirements and tasks have been set out for continuing to reorganize the apparatus, especially for localities; in which, the requirement was set out to study the removal of the district level, which is the intermediate administrative level.

"The results of this study will have to be reported to competent authorities and if there are instructions on the implementation of the district-level reorganization plan, it will certainly be necessary to consider amending the Constitution" - Ms. Thuy said.

The Vice Chairman of the National Assembly's Committee on Law and Justice said that Article 110 of the Constitution clearly stipulates the system of administrative units of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. In case the Constitution needs to be amended, the process of amending the Constitution will be implemented according to Article 120 of the Constitution.

According to Ms. Thuy, along with amending the Constitution, we must certainly also amend the provisions of the Law on Organization of Local Government, regulations related to administrative levels and government levels. Including the content of adjusting the tasks and powers of authorities at all levels. This is an issue that the agencies are currently in the process of researching.
