The above decision was made at a meeting of the Standing Committee of the Ha Long City Party Committee, Quang Ninh province, on the progress of disbursement of capital for the 2024 public investment plan on the afternoon of September 30.
Implementing the 2024 public investment plan, Ha Long City strives to achieve a disbursement rate of 50% by June 30, 2024; a disbursement rate of 80% by September 30, 2024; and a disbursement rate of 100% by December 31, 2024.
Accordingly, the city has set out a series of drastic solutions, such as: Requiring investors to make detailed disbursement plans for each project; assigning leaders to be responsible for monitoring the implementation progress and disbursement of each specific project according to the set plan; urging and proactively removing difficulties for each project. At the same time, the city requires investors to review and commit to disbursement progress according to timelines; establishing a working group to speed up the implementation and disbursement progress of programs and projects using public investment capital in 2024; directly inspecting the site to check, grasp the situation, promptly handle difficulties and problems in site clearance, construction organization and disbursement of public investment capital, etc.
However, as of September 30, the city's public investment disbursement has not yet met the set plan. The operation and implementation of tasks by the heads of some departments, offices and units are not resolute, effective, slow in progress, showing signs of fear of responsibility, fear of collision, and facing difficulties... This has affected the overall development of the city.
At the meeting, after listening to opinions from departments, offices and units, the Ha Long Standing Committee determined that the slow disbursement of public investment capital was partly the responsibility of Mr. Le Viet Hai - Director of the City's Construction Investment Project Management Board.
Therefore, the Standing Committee of the Ha Long City Party Committee agreed to the policy for the City People's Committee to immediately implement the procedure for temporary suspension from work in "necessary cases" according to Regulation No. 148-QD/TW dated May 23, 2024 issued by the Politburo on the authority of the head in temporarily suspending the work of subordinate officials in necessary cases or when there are signs of serious violations of Party regulations and State laws.
The temporary suspension of the Director of the City Construction Investment Project Management Board will be implemented from October 1, 2024, to strictly implement Party regulations, working regulations and continue to affirm that there are no forbidden areas, no exceptions to the work responsibilities of Ha Long City's staff.
