Therefore, after the Department of Home Affairs reviews and inspects the appointment process for Mr. Viet, it will have a report to the Provincial People's Committee.

Previously, Lao Dong Newspaper reported that on the afternoon of March 17, the Director of the Dak Lak Provincial Department of Health issued a decision to appoint Mr. Do Hoang Viet to the position of Head of the Financial Planning Department (Dak Lak Provincial Department of Health) for a 5-year term, from 2025 - 2030.
According to research, Mr. Do Hoang Viet is a specialist II. Previously, Mr. Viet held the position of Deputy Head of the Department of Financial Planning (Dak Lak Provincial Department of Health).
After Mr. Do Hoang Viet was promoted and appointed by competent authorities, public opinion said that this was unsatisfactory according to Conclusion 128 of the Politburo on March 7, 2025.
The leader of the Dak Lak Provincial Department of Health affirmed: "The appointment of department heads and deputy heads at the unit level is implemented in accordance with the instructions of the Dak Lak Provincial Party Committee.
Before making the appointment process for Mr. Viet's case, we have studied the guidance documents of the Dak Lak Provincial Party Committee for implementation. The appointment process for Mr. Viet is done methodically and thoroughly".
A source from the Dak Lak Provincial Department of Home Affairs said: "At this time, if the personnel are appointed as civil servants in the health and education sectors, it is in accordance with the instructions from the competent authority.
As for the case of department-level civil servants appointed at this time, it is not suitable. For example, it is not appropriate for civil servants appointed from deputy department heads to department heads (belonging to department-level units).
Another source from the Dak Lak Provincial Party Committee's Organizing Committee also emphasized: "The Provincial Party Committee has provided clear guidance on the case of appointing civil servants in the health and education sectors. The head of the unit must take responsibility. But at this time it is basically a temporary stop. The appointment of civil servants in the health sector at this time is not appropriate".
