The amount of money collected incorrectly has not been paid
After Lao Dong Newspaper's reflection on the fact that Quyet Tien residential group (Nam Trach commune, Quang Tri province, formerly of Nong Truong Viet Trung town, Bo Trach district, Quang Binh) had incorrectly collected more than 77.78 million VND from the people, the People's Committee of Nong Truong Viet Trung town issued a conclusion on January 14, 2025, requesting the residential group to return this difference, but has not yet done so.
On November 6, speaking with a reporter from Lao Dong Newspaper, Mr. Doan Ngoc Nhan - Vice Chairman of Nam Trach Commune People's Committee (Quang Tri Province) said that the local government had requested Quyet Tien Residential Group to organize a meeting with the participation of related individuals and leaders of the Commune People's Committee to clarify the incident.
In addition, the People's Committee of Nam Trach commune also assigned Quyet Tien Residential Group to review the list of households that have not yet contributed funds to build infrastructure in the period of 2022 - 2024 to continue mobilizing and collecting in accordance with regulations.
Mr. Nguyen Duy Dung - Head of Quyet Tien Residential Group said that previously, the People's Committee of Viet Trung Farm Town (old) issued Conclusion Notice No. 18, requesting Quyet Tien Residential Group to pay the difference in revenue exceeding the plan to the People's Committee of Nam Trach Commune.
However, according to Mr. Dung, when receiving the task and handing over the finances, the 77.78 million VND of this incorrect collection had not been handed over to him to pay to the commune according to regulations.
Mr. Dung informed that a meeting is expected to be held on Monday next week and will invite relevant parties to clarify.
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.
