On the same day, October 4, there was two reports in two localities far apart, one in Ha Tinh, one in Da Nang, but related to each other due to the same hot topic: the working attitude of civil servants after the merger.
In Ha Tinh, the principal of Son Ham Kindergarten (Kim Hoa commune) was dismissed for being late and not coordinating the implementation of work after the merger, causing dozens of teachers to have their salaries delayed for many months.
In Da Nang, Chairman of the City People's Committee Pham Duc An signed an Official Dispatch assigning Directors of departments, branches, and units; Chairmen of People's Committees of communes, wards, and special zones to request strengthening discipline and administrative discipline; resolutely rectify and handle the situation of moderate work, avoiding, shirking responsibility, and fearing mistakes that do not dare to do in the team of cadres, civil servants, and public employees.
The case at Son Ham Kindergarten in Ha Tinh is a typical example of the story of administrative discipline.
While 7/8 schools in Kim Hoa commune have completed legal procedures, opened accounts at the State Treasury and paid salaries to staff and teachers on time, Son Ham school is sluggish and lacks cooperation.
In addition, principals have continuously been absent-minded at meetings and have not implemented the mandatory requirements of the Commune People's Committee.
As a result, 15 cadres, teachers and employees have been behind in salary for many months, directly affecting the lives and spirits of workers.
In the context of the two-level government gradually becoming stable, such irresponsible behavior not only causes disorder in management, but also negatively affects the trust of the collective.
Therefore, removing Ms. Tran Thi Thanh Thuy from the position of principal and Party cell secretary is a necessary measure to set an example, in order to rectify discipline and ensure the legitimate rights of the teaching staff.
In Da Nang, although no cadre has been dismissed, the strong instructions of the city's leaders are a positive signal, showing a consistency with the drastic and decisive actions of removing the principal in Ha Tinh.
Even before that, on October 3, at the meeting with voters in Hai Chau, Hoa Cuong, Son Tra, An Hai and Thanh Khe wards, the Chairman of the People's Committee of Da Nang City repeatedly reiterated: the spirit of the two-level government model is to be close to the people, close to the people and solve work quickly.
At the same time, he emphasized that cases of delay in handling work will be monitored by the city and have strict solutions.
The real position as in Ha Tinh or the saying of "starry handling" as in Da Nang is a message sent to the entire system: no one is allowed to stand outside or hinder the reform process.
Strict discipline is the way to screen, to retain dedicated staff, and at the same time eliminate bottlenecks that cause stagnation in the administrative apparatus.
All are aimed at a single goal, which is to create a fair and transparent working environment, encouraging cadres who dare to think and dare to do to better serve the people.
