On September 17, the Dak Lak Provincial People's Committee said that in 2025, the locality has a total public investment plan of more than VND 15,600 billion.
To date, the authorities have allocated details to the projects with a capital of more than VND 12,200 billion, reaching 88.4% of the plan. However, by early September, the province had only disbursed more than VND 4,300 billion, equivalent to 35.9% of the plan.
Dak Lak is currently one of the localities with a low disbursement rate of public investment capital in the country. The main reason is due to problems in site clearance for large projects.
In addition, scarce prices and supply of construction materials have affected progress. If not accelerated in time, many large projects will have their capital revoked by the end of 2025 - the end of the 2021 - 2025 medium-term period.
Mr. Truong Cong Thai - Vice Chairman of Dak Lak Provincial People's Committee - admitted that the disbursement rate is currently very slow compared to the plan. He requested departments, branches and localities to be proactive and flexible to speed up the progress of key projects; at the same time, the Provincial People's Committee has continuously issued documents to rectify and urge units.
In the immediate future, the Department of Finance must promptly review and notify the capital sources to the project management boards for implementation on schedule. The head of that unit will be responsible for any unit that fails to complete its tasks.
Ms. Cao Thi Hoa An - Standing Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Chairwoman of the Provincial People's Council - emphasized that after more than two months of arrangement and merger of the two provinces, the government apparatus has operated stably, contributing to bringing the government closer to the people.
She requested that authorities focus maximum on disbursing public investment capital, while ensuring transparency, avoiding negativity and waste.
