According to information from the Government Inspectorate on July 30, this agency has just issued a thematic inspection plan for works and projects with difficulties, problems, delays, prolonged, low efficiency, and the risk of causing loss and waste.
The plan clearly assigns responsibilities to inspection levels, in which the Government Inspectorate directly inspects projects under the management of ministries and branches with a total investment of over VND 100 billion and large local projects with a total investment of over VND 1,500 billion; the Ministry of National Defense Inspectorate inspects 3 projects under its authority; the Inspectorate of provinces and cities inspects 750 projects with a total investment of over VND 30 billion.
Notably, one of the new points in the plan is the very clear classification of projects that are inspected and not inspected, according to the list provided by the Ministry of Finance.
The Government Inspectorate said that it will not conduct inspections of projects in the following 4 groups:
- Works and projects that have concluded inspections, examinations, investigations, and judgments (as classified by the Ministry of Finance).
- Works and projects that are in the process of preparing for investment or have not yet undergone investment and construction.
- Works and projects with difficulties and problems due to changes in mechanisms and legal policies.
- Works and projects with difficulties and problems in procedures and on a small scale.
Not inspecting projects in the above 4 groups is to avoid repeating, spreading, and wasting resources, while ensuring the principle of not overlapping between inspection agencies and with audits and investigations.
The inspection plan also clearly states that, based on functions, tasks, authority and actual situation, the Head of the state management agency and the person issuing the inspection decision decides on the inspection content, in which he/she notes a number of contents with signs of violations and risks of causing loss and waste in:
- Approving investment policies; establishing, appraising, and approving investment projects;
- Selecting investors, negotiating, signing contracts;
- Capital allocation and settlement of investment projects;
- Land allocation, land lease, land use purpose conversion;
- Determining land prices, fulfilling financial obligations on land, etc.
According to the Government Inspectorate, these contents are all stages that easily lead to negativity, and need to be focused on and clarified.
