Speaking to VietNamNet reporters, Minister of Home Affairs Pham Thi Thanh Tra said that according to the plan agreed upon by the Government Steering Committee, it is expected that after the arrangement and consolidation, the Government will have 13 ministries, 4 ministerial-level agencies, reducing 5 ministries and 3 agencies directly under the Government. This number is more than the direction set by the Central Government. In addition, the Government will also basically eliminate all general departments and equivalents; 500 departments and equivalents under ministries and general departments; 177 departments under ministries, ministerial-level agencies and equivalents; 190 public service units under ministries and agencies within ministries. The Ministry of Home Affairs is consulting on the completion of all related reports and projects to submit to the Politburo and the Central Steering Committee on December 25. "It is expected that after the initial arrangement and consolidation, the organizations will reduce 35% - 40% of their focal points, and the remaining organizations will be internally arranged and reduced by at least 15%. This number is very large and the number of officials, civil servants, public employees and workers involved is also very large," said the Minister of Home Affairs.

Therefore, according to Minister Pham Thi Thanh Tra, the important issue now is to soon have a policy so that after the arrangement of cadres, civil servants, public employees, and related workers, they can stabilize their lives. In that spirit, in the past few days, the Ministry of Home Affairs has urgently worked day and night to develop policies and regimes to submit to competent authorities for timely consideration. Encourage those who need to retire immediately but do not let there be a "brain drain". Currently, the Ministry of Home Affairs has completed the draft Decree on policies and regimes for cadres, civil servants, public employees, and contract workers in the arrangement of the apparatus of the political system. This content has been reported to the Party Committee, the Steering Committee of the Government to report to the Politburo in the nearest time. According to the Minister of Home Affairs, this draft decree puts forward very important viewpoints and principles. The spirit of the policy is "to make a revolution to streamline the apparatus, the mechanisms and policies are also revolutionary". Therefore, this policy requires speed, strength, prominence, humanity, fairness, ensuring a reasonable overall correlation between subjects in order to stabilize the lives, rights and interests of cadres, civil servants, public employees and workers so that "no one is left behind" in the process of streamlining the political system's apparatus. Another highlight is that the policy focuses on giving special, outstanding priority to encourage subjects to retire immediately, to retire within 12 months from the time the agency or unit organizes the reorganization according to the decision of the competent authority. The policy development is associated with the responsibility of the head and unit in evaluating, screening, and selecting cadres, civil servants and public employees to retire, associated with streamlining the payroll and restructuring, improving the quality of the team to meet the requirements and tasks. "In particular, it emphasizes the need to pay attention to maintaining and retaining good cadres with capacity and qualities equal to the task to avoid brain drain", the Minister of Home Affairs emphasized. Along with the above policy, according to Minister Pham Thi Thanh Tra, the Ministry of Home Affairs is also finalizing a policy on attracting and employing talented people in the public sector. This policy is expected to be issued by the end of December 2024 for implementation. "The Ministry of Home Affairs is undertaking an unprecedented amount of work, both guiding, urging, synthesizing, and coordinating the review of relevant legal documents, and orienting the arrangement of cadres, civil servants, and public employees within the Ministry's authority," Minister of Home Affairs Pham Thi Thanh Tra emphasized. Minister Pham Thi Thanh Tra stated that General Secretary To Lam decided to choose a very special time to carry out this revolution, a time of historical significance, on the eve of Party congresses at all levels towards the 14th National Party Congress, with a major decision for the country to enter a new development stage, preparing to celebrate the 95th anniversary of the Party's founding, the 50th anniversary of the complete liberation of the South and national reunification, the 80th anniversary of the founding of the country... This is also a more urgent and urgent time than ever for the country to develop in accordance with the changes of the times and the trend of the 4.0 revolution and digital transformation that are developing very strongly. "The revolution to streamline the apparatus has a strong heat, spreading throughout the entire political system with the spirit of the whole Party, the whole people, comprehensive, synchronous, scientific, cautious, methodical and lightning-fast. The results so far have been clearly seen initially", Minister of Home Affairs Pham Thi Thanh Tra emphasized.
