Delegate Hoang Van Cuong said that with the capital's position, combined with a more streamlined and efficient organizational structure, salaries for officials in Hanoi need to be many times higher than elsewhere.
"The capital is a special urban area, officials and civil servants must carry out important responsibilities, solve national problems, not local problems, so the salary regime must also be different," said Vice President of the National Economics University Hoang Van Cuong when giving comments on amending the Capital Law on the afternoon of November 10.
The draft law proposes that Hanoi be allowed to spend additional income for cadres, civil servants, and public employees of agencies, units of the capital and some central vertical agencies located in the area. The total amount spent for this content shall not exceed 0.8 times the basic salary fund of cadres, civil servants, and public employees. According to Mr. Cuong, the above additional amount is not really unique or groundbreaking because it is only equal to some other localities.
"With the salary fund increased by 0.8 times, the amount each individual receives is not worth much. I propose that the revised Capital Law does not limit the amount of additional expenses because when the organization is streamlined, Hanoi can pay a cadre many times higher," said delegate Hoang Van Cuong.
He believes that this is a way for the capital to attract talent, contributing to enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency of the management apparatus.

Delegate Pham Van Hoa (Vice President of the Dong Thap Province Lawyers Association) agreed that the draft needs a specific mechanism and policy on income to help Hanoi attract talented people to work. However, he suggested clearly defining the criteria for talent, avoiding the mechanism of asking and giving.
"If the children of the powerful are brought in and said to be talented, then sent to study abroad, but when they return to the country they work ineffectively, the budget will be wasted," said delegate Hoa.
Deputy Head of the Delegation Affairs Committee Ta Thi Yen agreed to apply a salary fund for Hanoi's officials, civil servants and public employees with a total expenditure not exceeding 0.8 times the basic salary fund. However, she suggested that the drafting committee closely follow the roadmap for implementing the new salary regime from July 1, 2024 to have a suitable plan.
According to the female delegate, to develop high-quality human resources, Hanoi needs to use the city budget to invest in key national training facilities; at the same time, allow officials, civil servants, public employees, and students of the capital to study abroad.
Article 17 of the draft Law on the Capital (amended) stipulates that Hanoi is allowed to attract talents with outstanding capacity, high professional qualifications, special talents in a number of fields and practical experience, with special works, products, achievements, merits or contributions to develop a field or industry of the Capital.
These people will enjoy preferential treatment such as being selected and accepted as civil servants and public employees and enjoying the regimes and policies prescribed by the Hanoi People's Council; being signed contracts to work or take on management and executive positions at public service units; being signed contracts to perform a number of tasks in the fields of science and technology, health care, and education with appropriate regimes and preferential policies.
