On the afternoon of May 15, the National Assembly discussed in groups the draft Resolution of the National Assembly on a number of special mechanisms and policies, creating a breakthrough in the development and organization of law enforcement.
Vice Chairman of the National Assembly's Committee on Law and Justice Nguyen Phuong Thuy stated that the draft resolution did not clearly demonstrate factors on controlling power, factors on preventing and combating waste, negativity, and group interests.
The delegate expressed special attention to the appendix on total expenditure in the development of legal documents and international treaties applying the spending contract mechanism.
A newly drafted law is 18 billion VND; the law amending and supplementing a number of articles related to human rights and civil rights is 9 billion VND, a very large number.
Personally, I have been working in law-making for nearly 30 years, the entire process of spending on all law-making activities has never amounted to billions, let alone tens of billions of VND like this," said the delegate.
The delegate expressed concern about the basis for determining the total expenditure for drafting legal documents, while the team of cadres doing this work have also received state budget salaries and support and incentives.
Pointing out specific tasks in law-making, the delegate said that there are jobs that can be contracted to support and encourage cadres to do better.
However, there are things such as organizing conferences, seminars, hiring experts, the delegate raised the issue that if a contract is given, will the agencies likely hire experts or "dividate".
There must be mechanisms to supervise, control, ensure appropriate and reasonable spending; create practical results for the quality of the documents being drafted.
"Now for example, we have a high spending rate like this, but a law made within a month or a resolution made within a week, is it necessary to spend that much? Does it really cost that much? Will there be any changes in quality? That is something we are very interested in, the female delegate emphasized.
"We, the legal community, are also very hard-working, compared to other economic sectors, we are not equal in terms of regimes and policies, but we are not doing it for money.
The first is to demonstrate a sense of responsibility towards the Party, the State, and the people; the second is to demonstrate enthusiasm and passion for dedication, want to contribute, and want to create better things," said the delegate.
The delegate commented that financial support to work with peace of mind is necessary, but not only those working in law-making or law enforcement but also cadres and civil servants in general need to be cared for.
We create a very special regime for this group of subjects, while forgetting other groups of subjects, we can create a concern right within the team of cadres and civil servants in agencies and units in the same agency, unit as this unit with another unit.
This is an issue that we are also very concerned about. There is a good regime, but the regime must be appropriate and reasonable, and must be proven effective when applied," said the delegate.
