Recently, General Secretary To Lam wrote an article on building a political system with the title: "Refined - Lean - Strong - Efficient - Effective - Effective". The General Secretary's article is receiving public attention, especially on the issue of streamlining the apparatus for effectiveness and efficiency.
The article by General Secretary To Lam clearly stated that after 7 years of implementing Resolution No. 18 dated October 25, 2017 of the 12th Central Executive Committee on innovation and reorganization of the political system, we have achieved a number of important results, initially creating positive changes in innovation and reorganization of the apparatus, improving the operational efficiency of agencies, units and organizations.
The General Secretary's article also frankly pointed out that, up to now, the organizational structure of the political system is still cumbersome, with many levels and focal points; the effectiveness and efficiency of operations have not met the requirements and tasks; the functions, tasks, powers, organizations, and working relationships between many agencies and departments are not really clear, still overlapping; the division of responsibilities, decentralization, and delegation of powers are not synchronous and reasonable, there are places where people make excuses, places where they miss out or do not invest appropriately...
Speaking with Lao Dong, Professor Dr. Phung Huu Phu - former Permanent Vice Chairman of the Central Theoretical Council - said that General Secretary To Lam's article received much public attention.
In particular, the content related to streamlining the apparatus, reducing the cumbersomeness, multi-layeredness, and multi-connections of the apparatus in the political system is an issue that many people are interested in. The article of the General Secretary has expressed a very important message in organizing and rearranging the apparatus, building a political system that is "Refined - Lean - Strong - Efficient - Effective - Effective".
According to Prof. Dr. Phung Huu Phu, if we want a “lean, lean, strong” apparatus, we must start from a comprehensive model. Therefore, we need to perfect the comprehensive model to make adjustments and arrangements scientifically, avoiding the situation of “meeting where we meet”, “joining today, separating tomorrow”. The comprehensive model and the correct perception of this content is scientific thinking in problem solving.
According to Prof. Dr. Phung Huu Phu, organizing and arranging the apparatus is a very sensitive issue, which can affect units, organizations, and many people. Therefore, it requires great determination to be able to do it. However, determination must not be arbitrary.
“This is a complicated issue. Therefore, we must be very determined and resolute, but must be comprehensive and cautious. The key is still to put people at the center, the main thing, and to organize for people. With such a viewpoint, we must act strongly, actively but must do it correctly” - Professor, Dr. Phung Huu Phu emphasized.
Prof. Dr. Phung Huu Phu also noted that economic problems that are not done properly can lead to damage, but are not difficult to overcome. However, if the organization is wrong, the damage will be huge. Therefore, we must do it, we must do it resolutely, but we must do it scientifically, firmly, and strictly.
