The Ministry of Home Affairs proposed decentralizing state management to Ho Chi Minh City in 9 groups of sectors and fields to create conditions to promote proactiveness and creativity in promptly and effectively resolving issues arising in the area.
The draft Decree on decentralization of state management in some areas to the Ho Chi Minh City government has just been sent by the Ministry of Home Affairs to the Ministry of Justice for appraisal.
According to the Ministry of Home Affairs, many contents on decentralization of management of some areas to the Ho Chi Minh City government in Decree 93/2001 have now been specified in legal documents such as Laws, Resolutions of the National Assembly, Decrees of the Government stipulating general authority for all provinces and centrally-run cities, no longer decentralizing specifically to Ho Chi Minh City.
"Many contents on decentralization of management of some areas to the Ho Chi Minh City government are no longer consistent with current legal regulations and are no longer suitable for practice to create motivation to promote the city's development," the Ministry of Home Affairs commented.
