Speaking in the hall, the General Secretary suggested a number of groups of contents for delegates to discuss and discuss in depth:
Regarding institutions and law, we have issued laws to manage society by law, building a socialist rule-of-law state of the people, by the people, for the people. But in practice, there is still a situation where "the law is right but it is difficult to do". On the parliament, it is open, but down to the grassroots, it is still stuck.
The General Secretary suggested that the delegates focus on saying clearly, why are there laws, decrees, and circulars issued very elaborately and thickly, but grassroots cadres dare not do them? Businesses struggle to get around, people are confused, going against the grain. Some places give people authority and force them to take responsibility beyond their control.
Regarding building and perfecting a socialist rule-of-law state, the General Secretary suggested that the opinions of the delegates focus on the question: "What is the gap that makes people feel "if you want it, then you can do it, if you don't want it, then you can do it"? In what cases do people have to "ask" for things they should have "enjoyed"? If there is no complete answer, that is where the State's rule of law is not complete".
The General Secretary also stated that building our rule of law state is building a strong state but not abusing power; having discipline but not far from the people; acting resolutely but still humane, convincingly, and having dialogue. Such orientations need to be clearly stated in the documents of the 14th Congress.
Regarding decentralization, delegation of power and organizing the apparatus, according to the General Secretary, it is necessary to answer two questions: what is decentralization, to whom, under what conditions; and what will be the mechanism of responsibility, inspection and supervision?
The General Secretary asked the delegates to give their direct comments on this content. Wherever the subordinates can decide quickly, more closely to the people than the superiors, they must boldly hand over the power. But delegating authority is not "pushing down work", "pushing down risks".
The authority must go with resources, human resources, tools, and even legal protection zones so that cadres dare to do and take responsibility for the common good, not take responsibility unjustly for individuals.
The General Secretary suggested that the delegates give specific opinions on how the two-level local government model should be designed so that people are not away from the government and do not have interruptions in public services? Do not declare streamlining the apparatus but create more begging - for more than reality.
Along with that is the relationship between 3 levels of government: central, provincial/city and grassroots. The 3 levels must be a smooth operation, sharing responsibilities and supporting each other. Absolutely not 3 classes specializing in "transferring responsibility to each other" for people to run around.
Regarding the spirit of innovation in thinking, innovation in working methods, innovation in national governance according to the motto of creativity and for the people, the General Secretary pointed out that the world changes very quickly, domestic reality also changes very quickly. If our thinking is slower than practical, the document will be outdated immediately, even as soon as it is passed.
The General Secretary suggested that the delegates clearly state where there are still cumbersome procedures that discourage businesses; where people are upset because they have traveled many times without being able to resolve the matter; where there are still "running the mechanism". We should state it directly, not avoid it. Only by looking straightforward can those shortcomings and limitations be corrected.
"According to the delegates, people who are close to the people, understand real life, understand voters' thoughts, what issues have not been properly named in the document? If we do not remove any bottlenecks now, we will have to pay more in the next 5 years? ", the General Secretary noted and suggested speaking frankly, saying it all, clarifying those points, discovering them.
