FRANKLY ADMIT PROBLEMS AND OVERCOME THEM
Speaking at the meeting, Comrade Nguyen Duc Trung - Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee emphasized that Nghe An always identifies administrative reform as a key and especially important task. The province's administrative reform work has changed in recent times, but has not yet met the requirements, there are still many issues that people and businesses are not satisfied with.
Since the establishment of the Provincial Steering Committee, administrative reform has made progress, especially in the awareness and compliance attitude of cadres, civil servants and public employees; when there is public information that cadres and civil servants have committed violations in performing their duties or have been corrupt, the province takes immediate measures to handle them.
The Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee said that Nghe An has received attention and favorable conditions from the Central Government. Recently, the Politburo issued Resolution No. 39 on building and developing Nghe An province until 2030, with a vision to 2045. This is an important political foundation, along with specific mechanisms and policies that will create more motivation and resources for the province to develop in the coming time.
One of the important tasks and solutions in Resolution No. 39 of the Politburo is that Nghe An must make a breakthrough in administrative reform, improve the investment and business environment, and strive to raise the PCI, PAR INDEX, and PAPI indexes to the top positions in the country. And to achieve the above goal, great efforts are needed from Party committees and authorities at all levels.
Nghe An realizes that, in addition to the achieved results, administrative reform still has many shortcomings and limitations: The rate of online file processing is not high; decentralization is still modest and has many obstacles; digital transformation has not achieved its goals. Although the province has made efforts, because Nghe An is the province with the largest area in the country, the 4th largest population in the country, limited resources, and the difficult lives of people in mountainous areas... has significantly affected the results of administrative reform.
The Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee emphasized that through today's inspection, Nghe An province frankly acknowledged the shortcomings and limitations; fully accepted the opinions that the working group assessed and pointed out. From here, the province will propose solutions to comprehensively handle and overcome, focusing on key issues so that the province's administrative reform work in the coming time will have positive changes.
Besides, Nghe An also hopes to continue receiving attention and support from central ministries and branches, including the Ministry of Home Affairs, regarding the possibility of studying additional mechanisms and specific features for the province regarding staffing and decentralization.
Concluding the meeting, Comrade Nguyen Trong Thua - Deputy Minister of Home Affairs highly appreciated the results in socio-economic development of Nghe An province in recent years, especially the economic scale, growth rate, traffic infrastructure, and investment attraction of the province which are increasingly improving.
Appreciating the establishment of the Provincial Steering Committee for Administrative Reform by the Provincial Party Secretary as Head of the Steering Committee, the Deputy Minister of Home Affairs proposed that in the coming time, Nghe An continue to maintain measures to promote the achieved results; overcome shortcomings and limitations; pay attention to and direct drastically and synchronously the administrative reform work in the area.
Agreeing with the tasks and solutions proposed by the province in the coming time, the Deputy Minister of Home Affairs suggested that the province continue to review, revise and perfect legal regulations to overcome difficulties and obstacles in institutions, mechanisms and policies; Continue to review and propose to reduce and simplify administrative procedures.
On the other hand, continue to focus on investing in upgrading equipment and software systems, regularly updating databases and smart utilities to improve the effectiveness of implementing the one-stop and one-stop mechanisms. Strengthen the review and decentralization of administrative procedure settlement and promote the digitization of records and results of settlement of valid administrative procedures, meeting the requirements of the Government.
Nghe An also needs to promote the development of e-government towards digital government, digital economy and digital society according to the Government's roadmap, in accordance with local practical conditions. Deploy online public services in an effective, practical and formal manner; focus on propaganda solutions, improve professional skills and professionalism for civil servants receiving and processing online records.
