In June 2025, Khanh Hoa province held a meeting to deploy a number of contents related to the merger of provinces and the operation of local governments at two levels.
One of the notable contents at the meeting was the plan to arrange means of transportation for newly formed communes and wards after the merger.
According to Mr. Chau Ngo Anh Nhan - Director of the Department of Finance of Khanh Hoa province, currently the provincial departments and branches have more than 200 public cars, while the district level has more than 40 cars.
According to Mr. Nhan, the situation of surplus vehicles in departments and branches is existing due to unit mergers.
For example, when the Department of Finance merges with the Department of Planning and Investment, the number of public vehicles also increases, which may exceed the prescribed standards. Meanwhile, localities, especially new communes and wards, are lacking means to serve their work.
To solve this problem, the Department of Finance is reviewing the entire number of public vehicles that have been granted, and at the same time advising the Provincial People's Committee on a plan to recall and transfer vehicles from units with little or no tasks to newly established localities.
According to the orientation, each new commune and ward will be arranged 2 cars: 1 car serving the Party Committee, 1 car serving the committee's management work.
However, in the first phase, the province will prioritize the supply of vehicles to remote communes. Communes and wards in the central area can use motorbikes for daily administrative activities.
In addition, the rearrangement of working headquarters and public housing for central agencies located in the area was also proposed. Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Nguyen Tan Tuan assigned the Department of Finance to re-inspect the current situation to develop a reasonable arrangement and arrangement plan.
For public assets at the district and commune levels, Chairman of Khanh Hoa province Nguyen Tan Tuan requested the Chairman of the District People's Committee to be responsible for the handling plan, ensuring compliance with regulations, avoiding waste. Facilities that are no longer in use must be included in the list for management and have timely handling plans.
Regarding the organizational structure, in the immediate future, the province directed to retain the reception and return unit under the "one -stop" mechanism in the existing communes and wards. The dossier -receiving staff will continue to take on the guidance and handling of administrative procedures, avoiding interrupting public services to the people.
According to the Project on arranging provincial-level administrative units for the period 2025 - 2030, Khanh Hoa province will merge with Ninh Thuan. The new province still retains the name Khanh Hoa, with the current political - administrative center located in Khanh Hoa.
After completing the merger and reorganization of administrative units, the new Khanh Hoa province will have a total of 65 commune-level administrative units (including communes, wards and special zones), a reduction of 129 units compared to the present.
