Can Tho City has recently merged 4 wards of Ninh Kieu district, including An Phu, An Nghiep, An Cu and Thoi Binh (old), into a new ward called Thoi Binh (new), bringing many practical results.
As a resident of An Cu ward (old) merged into Thoi Binh ward (new), Ms. Bui Thi Lan Huong excitedly said: "I am very happy because after the merger, the government apparatus is stable and always creates favorable conditions for the people, contributing to improving the people's lives in terms of culture, spirit, economy, etc.".
Speaking with Lao Dong, Ms. Nguyen Thi Hong Nga - Chairwoman of the People's Committee of Thoi Binh Ward (new) - said that after a period of operation (starting from November 19, 2024) according to the Resolution of the National Assembly Standing Committee on the arrangement of commune-level administrative units, up to now, Thoi Binh Ward (new) has stabilized its organization and staffing.
For the People's Council delegates of 4 wards, before being arranged to form the People's Council of Thoi Binh ward (new), they will continue to operate until the end of the 2021 - 2026 term according to regulations. Currently, the total number of People's Council delegates of the ward is 73 delegates.
Up to now, the ward has completed and submitted a project to rename areas to avoid duplicate names according to the Circular of the Ministry of Home Affairs. Thus, the whole Thoi Binh ward has 17 areas.

Ms. Nga added that the merger of wards resulted in a four-fold increase in the number of applications compared to before. However, the ward has arranged civil servants to receive and process applications promptly, ensuring quality and on time according to regulations.
“However, the number of ward officials and civil servants is still high. Therefore, it requires a streamlined, professional, modern, effective and efficient workforce,” Ms. Nga commented.
