In recent times, the drafting and promulgation of legal documents in the province have been advised and promulgated by agencies to ensure constitutionality, legality, consistency and feasibility. To better understand this content, Binh Thuan Newspaper reporters had an interview with Mr. Nguyen Huu Thong - Provincial Party Committee member, Deputy Head of the Provincial National Assembly Delegation.
Sir, could you please tell us why the National Assembly Deputies of Binh Thuan province chose to supervise the development and promulgation of legal documents in the province in recent times?
Mr. Nguyen Huu Thong: Recently, the National Assembly Delegation of Binh Thuan province organized a supervision of the implementation of policies and laws on the promulgation of legal documents in the province to objectively assess the timeliness, suitability (constitutional, legal), consistency and feasibility of the Law on Promulgation of Legal Documents 2015 (amended and supplemented in 2020). Thereby, clarifying the advantages and limitations of the province's development and promulgation of legal documents; clarifying the causes (subjective, objective) and drawing lessons; proposing and recommending solutions to competent agencies, promptly overcoming shortcomings, limitations and difficulties. At the same time, through supervision, it helps the province's specialized agencies review documents that are no longer suitable to promptly amend, supplement or replace them, associated with improving the quality of development and promulgation of legal documents, contributing to bringing the law into life soon.
Through monitoring, how do you evaluate the implementation of building and promulgating legal documents in Binh Thuan province?
Mr. Nguyen Huu Thong: Basically, the content of the legal documents issued by the advisory agencies ensures constitutionality, legality, consistency and feasibility. In addition, the legal documents under the supervision scope have basically been issued in accordance with the provisions of the Law on Promulgation of Legal Documents on authority, form, order, procedures and legal basis for issuing documents.
However, the issuance of legal documents during the monitoring period still has some shortcomings and limitations such as: Some areas still have outstanding documents; some issued contents do not ensure timeliness; some issued contents have not been implemented with high feasibility and stability. On the other hand, although the agencies have made annual plans for the compilation, review and systematization of legal documents, in some places, they have not been implemented regularly; there are still documents that have expired but have not been reviewed or abolished; the participation in giving comments on draft legal documents of agencies and localities has not received due attention; in most cases, the coordinating agencies only "agree" on the draft. In addition, the legal staff and civil servants in the agencies are also facing difficulties; most agencies do not have a legal organization but only arrange civil servants to concurrently perform legal duties or assign professional departments to draft documents when required. The causes of the above problems all stem from objective and subjective causes, from the professional agencies of the Provincial People's Committee and from the Central Ministries and branches.
So, in your opinion, in the coming time, what issues should Binh Thuan province focus on so that the development and promulgation of legal documents can be implemented promptly, in accordance with reality, contributing to enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency of law enforcement?
Mr. Nguyen Huu Thong: In order for the development and promulgation of legal documents to be implemented promptly, in accordance with reality, contributing to enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency of law enforcement, in my opinion, in the coming time, our province needs to pay attention to implementing a number of tasks well. First of all, the development and promulgation of provincial legal documents must fully comply with the procedures of the Law on Promulgation of Legal Documents 2015, amended and supplemented in 2020, and documents guiding the implementation. It is necessary to develop a list of decisions and resolutions issued annually and throughout the term to be proactive in arranging and organizing meetings and allocating sufficient resources to implement resolutions to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of legal documents after they are approved by the Provincial People's Council and Provincial People's Committee.
In addition, continue to enhance the responsibility of departments, branches and sectors in advising the Provincial People's Committee and the Provincial People's Council to draft legal documents. The drafting agency needs to conduct surveys and assess practices; collect information; the proposed objectives must be realistic, highly feasible, and suitable to socio-economic conditions. In particular, it is necessary to pay attention to and do a good job of consulting the opinions of the people and the opinions of the subjects affected when issuing policies.
On the part of the advisory agencies of the Provincial People's Committee and the Provincial People's Council, it is necessary to strengthen the appraisal and examination of draft legal documents. When appraising and examining, it is necessary to follow the correct procedures, documents related to the appraisal and examination content need to be sent early so that the agency has more time to research, review, collect information (can arrange time for field surveys), listen to the opinions of the affected subjects and organize the criticism of organizations and individuals. Pay more attention to human resources and funding for the work of building and promulgating legal documents.
In addition, it is necessary to strengthen the inspection and supervision of the implementation of resolutions and decisions issued by the People's Committee and People's Council to verify the effectiveness of the resolutions and regularly and promptly review, amend and issue new policies suitable to local conditions. Thereby, meeting the regulations and requirements of the law at higher levels to promote the socio-economic development of the province.
Thank you!
