The question and answer session was chaired by Standing Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Chairman of the Provincial People's Council Nguyen Duc Dung and two Vice Chairmen of the Provincial People's Council Tran Xuan Vinh and Nguyen Cong Thanh.
Why constantly adjust the budget?
Questioning the Director of the Department of Finance regarding the financial and budgetary fields, delegate Nguyen Duc - Head of the Economic - Budget Committee of the Provincial People's Council said that adjusting the budget estimates of units is inevitable. However, in 2024, the Provincial People's Committee issued 63 decisions to adjust the budget estimates of units at the provincial level. So how does adjusting the budget estimates affect the management of the provincial budget estimates?
Delegate Lam Quang Thanh - Deputy Head of the Economic - Budget Committee of the Provincial People's Council said that recently, the Department of Finance has advised the Provincial People's Committee to submit to all levels to allocate sources of increased revenue, save expenditures, plans to allocate sources of increased revenue, exceed revenue... However, this work is still slow, leading to the funds being transferred to the locality without much time left for implementation. This leads to many sources of funds being transferred or canceled, reducing the efficiency of capital use. What is the solution to overcome this content?
Delegate Tran Thi Bich Thu - Head of the Culture - Social Committee of the Provincial People's Council questioned the responsibility of the Director of the Department of Finance and the Department of Education and Training regarding the delay in budget allocation, failure to allocate budget and cancellation of a large budget in the implementation of a number of resolutions in the education sector.
Responding to questions, Mr. Dang Phong - Director of the Department of Finance said that the Budget Law allows for budget estimates to be adjusted. The goal of adjustment is to promote budget efficiency and comply with policies of all levels. In particular, every year the Prime Minister issues telegrams or directives on budget and finance issues, requiring localities to arrange and adjust expenditures in the estimates to promote efficiency.
Therefore, on this basis, the Department has adjusted in accordance with the budget. The Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Council have given their opinions on some contents that need to be adjusted for the budget. In the past, there have been about 67 policies of the Ministry of Finance and the Provincial Party Committee on this issue. And this adjustment is implemented according to the resolutions of the Provincial People's Council.
“In addition to properly implementing the policies of all sectors and levels, the adjustment has brought about positive results. Almost all recorded adjustment sources are better than before,” Mr. Phong affirmed.
In the field of education, regarding Resolution 21 of the Provincial People's Council on Regulations on a number of policies to support the development of reading culture for students of general schools in the province, period 2021 - 2025, Mr. Phong requested relevant units and localities to make plans and send their needs to the Department of Education and Training for synthesis. Then the Department of Education and Training will coordinate with the Department of Finance to allocate the remaining 5.3 billion VND, an average of 600 million VND/library. Although it has not been implemented in the past 4 years, in 2025 (the last year), it will focus on resolving it completely.
[VIDEO] - Mr. Dang Phong - Director of the Department of Finance answered the question of delegate Lam Quang Thanh:
Mr. Thai Viet Tuong - Director of the Department of Education and Training explained that the implementation of Resolution 21 has not been achieved due to lack of close coordination. In 2025, the department will focus on solving the capital source assigned to implement Resolution 21 to serve the development of reading culture in the province.
Overcoming limitations, soon changing forest owners
The progress of implementing Resolution No. 07 of the Provincial People's Council on the project of measuring, establishing cadastral records, and granting certificates of forest land use rights in 9 mountainous districts of the province for the period 2021 - 2026 is the content that many delegates are interested in and participate in questioning the Director of the Department of Natural Resources and Environment.
Delegate Dinh Van Huom - Head of the Ethnic Committee of the Provincial People's Council said that through the supervision of the Provincial People's Council, the measurement and declaration work only reached 33/85 communes (38.8%). Up to now, only 571/67,559 Land Use Right Certificates have been registered, which are first-time and renewed certificates. So where is the biggest problem now?
“Resolution 07 will end in 2026. With the current progress, is it guaranteed and what will be the solution in the coming time?” – Mr. Huong asked.
Delegate Dang Tan Phuong - Deputy Head of the Ethnic Committee of the Provincial People's Council said that at the end of 2023, the Provincial People's Council issued Resolution No. 44 on accelerating the implementation of Resolution 07 and overcoming the huge discrepancies in the districts in terms of actual measurement volume, adjustment of fluctuations and machine measurement.
Specifically, previously, the 1/10,000 map was used as the input database for drafting the resolution. Up to now, this number is incorrect, and it is impossible to measure, so it has to be converted to machine measurement; however, the data is significantly different from the resolution. Therefore, the Provincial People's Council assigned the Provincial People's Committee to direct specialized agencies to advise and promptly submit to the Provincial People's Council to amend and adjust Resolution 07 in the second quarter of 2024. However, after 1 year, the Department of Natural Resources and Environment has not yet submitted to the People's Council to adjust the resolution, causing difficulties in the implementation process in localities. So, what is the responsibility of the Director of the Department of Natural Resources and Environment in this delay?
Responding to questions from delegates, Mr. Bui Ngoc Anh - Director of the Department of Natural Resources and Environment said that when implementing the new method of measurement and determining the current land plot, a huge discrepancy in the data was discovered. The estimate increased by about 28 billion VND. The Department of Natural Resources and Environment committed to submitting to the Provincial People's Council for adjustment in the first quarter of 2025.
“When I took on the role of Director of the Department of Natural Resources and Environment, I worked with 5 domestic consulting units on measurement to solve the problems for the districts. The difficulty is that the planning of 3 types of forests has been submitted to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development but so far there has been no result. If it is not in the 3 types of forests, it is not in Resolution 07.
We are striving to complete the surveying to create cadastral maps, land registration and finally the issuance of certificates by 2025. The important issue is the participation of the people, because the number of registrations is only 18% compared to the figures of Resolution 07" - Mr. Anh said.
Chairman of the Provincial People's Council Nguyen Duc Dung said that through the question-and-answer session, the heads of departments and branches who answered the questions all demonstrated their mettle and clearly understood the current situation of the branches and fields they were in charge of . At the same time, they answered frankly, without beating around the bush or avoiding difficult and complicated issues ; answered relatively fully the questions of the delegates , thereby clarifying many issues that the Provincial People's Council delegates were interested in ; meeting the requirements and expectations of voters, people and the Provincial People's Council delegates .
