The wrong amount has not been paid yet
After Lao Dong Newspaper's reflection, Quyet Tien residential group (Nam Trach commune, Quang Tri province, formerly belonging to Nong Truong Viet Trung town, Bo Trach district, Quang Binh) incorrectly collected more than 77.78 million VND from the people. The People's Committee of Nong Truong Viet Trung Town has concluded on January 14, 2025, requesting the residential group to return this difference in revenue ( Regarding mobilization of contributions to infrastructure construction), but has not yet done so.
Speaking to Lao Dong Newspaper, Mr. Tran Van Thang - Secretary of the Party Committee of Nam Trach Commune (Quang Tri Province) said that according to the conclusion of the People's Committee of the old Nong Truong Viet Trung Town, the amount of money collected incorrectly, more than 77.78 million VND, managed by Quyet Tien residential group, has not yet been returned to the People's Committee of the town.
According to initial information, Mr. Phan Dinh Hung - former Head of Quyet Tien Residential Group reported that this amount of money had been spent on other items in the residential group, Mr. Thang affirmed that this was completely contrary to financial principles.
The Party Committee and People's Committee of the commune will direct the People's Committee of the commune to verify and clarify the expenditure of this amount at Quyet Tien residential group, then report to the Standing Committee.
In addition, the People's Committee of the commune will organize a working session with the people in Quyet Tien residential group to discuss, listen to and grasp the aspirations of the people to resolve the issue in a transparent and reasonable manner.
Disciplining the leader
As reported by Lao Dong Newspaper, many people have reported being charged money even though they are exempted from the exemption. A household with only mother, child and one grandchild and daughter who have been working away for 6 years, and are past working age, will still receive 1.91 million VND in 2024. Meanwhile, according to the list of exemptions sent to the People's Committee of the town, this family should not have to contribute.
In another case, a woman who is past working age and has two children in school also asked for a discount but was not accepted. In 2022 and 2023, she still has to pay more than 1.7 - 1.8 million VND/year. The unusual thing is that by 2024, she was informed that she was eligible for a reduction and only had to pay 410,000 VND, even though her family's circumstances did not change.
The People's Committee of Nong Truong Viet Trung town also discovered that in 3 years (2022, 2023, 2024), the residential group had planned to mobilize people's contributions that were not in accordance with the actual report to the People's Committee of the town.
For the mobilization for infrastructure construction, the number of households receiving fees higher than the approved plan is up to 91 households, with the total revenue exceeding 83.78 million VND. Of these, the residential group collected 3 households that were not subject to payment, the amount of violations was 6 million VND.
In response to this violation, the People's Committee of the town requested the Quyet Tien residential group to review the list, publicize the mobilization plan and ensure that the right subjects are exempted and reduced. At the same time, the difference in the collection of 77.78 million VND (after deducting 6 million VND collected from the wrong subjects) must be returned to the town budget.
The People's Committee of Nong Truong Viet Trung Town has also decided to remove Mr. Phan Dinh Hung from the position of Head of Quyet Tien Residential Group for violations in leadership, management and operation.
The town Party Committee also disciplined Mr. Hung - Deputy Secretary of the Quyet Tien Party Committee with a reprimand for lack of responsibility, collecting and spending in violation of principles, collecting and spending in violation of regulations, and using money exceeding the plan.
At the same time, the Town Party Committee disciplined Mr. Tran Quoc Van - Secretary of the Quyet Tien Party Committee with a reprimand. Mr. Van was determined to be irresponsible in leadership, direction, and supervision, allowing violations in the work of mobilizing voluntary contributions from the people. These violations have reduced the reputation of the individuals and organizations where the two men work.
