Kinhtedothi - Thoroughly practicing thrift and combating waste (CLP) has become a central and regular task of all levels and sectors. The results have contributed to the effective management and use of resources for socio-economic development.
Improve the efficiency of public assets resources
Through the supervision of the National Assembly as well as in practice, it is shown that the strengthening of thrift practice and CLP has created important resources for development. Some localities have focused on and resolutely handled the recovery of many suspended projects and slow-progressing projects, requiring the use of hundreds of thousands of hectares of land of slow-moving projects.
Every year, the management and collection of budget expenditures are strictly controlled, with reasonable savings and expenditure structure, not spread out, with focus and key points, prioritizing development and investment, ensuring expenditure for social security. Many assets of corruption cases are recovered year after year, higher than the previous year. In particular, the arrangement, streamlining of the apparatus, streamlining of payroll, and reform of administrative procedures are plus points that have achieved many positive results.
It can be said that the practice of thrift and CLP has contributed to the successful implementation of socio-economic development goals and targets, ensuring national defense, security, social security and social welfare. However, how to prevent and CLP effectively and thoroughly is still the question that is being raised, requiring synchronization in solutions and consistency in actions.
In Hanoi, practicing thrift and CLP is an important content in Program No. 10-CTr/TU of the Hanoi Party Committee on "Improving the effectiveness of anti-corruption work; practicing thrift and CLP in the period of 2021 - 2025". The city has issued many directives and management documents to promote propaganda work; directing departments, branches, sectors and units to implement to improve the effectiveness of this work.
Accordingly, Hanoi is a locality that is always assessed to have a high sense of responsibility for practicing thrift and CLP in both the public and private sectors. Typically, the city has increasingly frequently and extensively deployed the online meeting system, which helps to quickly bring directives and resolutions into life, while reducing meetings, time, and travel effort.
The Standing Committee of the Hanoi Party Committee also directed to create breakthrough steps in decentralization and authorization; to date, more than 700 city-level administrative procedures have been authorized, helping to shorten the time of people and businesses, creating a favorable environment for production, business, and investment...
In the work of allocating the State budget estimate, statistics in 2023 show that the City has saved 10% of regular expenditure to implement salary reform; with an amount of more than 3,331.5 billion VND. At the same time, it saved more than 5,643.4 billion VND in the work of using, paying and settling the State budget at agencies, organizations and units; being one of the three most economical localities in the country.
Practicing thrift, CLP also improves the efficiency of public assets. Hanoi City is making great efforts to do this well. In particular, the City has implemented the Project on "Management, use and effective exploitation of public assets of Hanoi City in the period of 2022 - 2025, with orientation for the period of 2026 - 2030", with the scope of 4 groups of public assets: houses; land; infrastructure assets; other assets. From this framework project, the City has assigned and assigned 9 groups of solutions and 67 tasks (including 29/67 time-limited tasks and 38/67 regular tasks).
With the new spirit and policy of the Party, State, National Assembly, and Government determined to change and amend the way of doing things for CLP, the leaders of Hanoi City continue to emphasize the requirement that departments, branches, sectors, and localities need to fully perceive, have a new approach according to their authority, proactively review with the highest responsibility. Thereby, ensuring the promotion of the city's resources and potentials to become the driving force and resource for the development of the capital Hanoi, truly bringing benefits to society; not allowing delays or prolongations, whether it is a public investment project or an off-budget project.
After one year of implementation, the Project has created a bright spot in the CLP work in the City. The Project has helped Hanoi City build a public asset management system that is not only sustainable but also contributes to maximizing the potential and value of resources, aiming at the goal of comprehensive socio-economic development of the Capital. According to the leader of the Department of Finance, immediately after the project was implemented, Hanoi approved the plan to rearrange and handle 10,427 houses and land; recovered the area of houses and land that must be handed over to the City for management (the area fund of the first floor of commercial apartment buildings, the temporary housing fund, etc.); recovered the area of houses and land that violated the law and were not used for the right purpose to develop a plan to assign management, exploitation and handling according to regulations, etc. The Department of Finance has also completed the public asset database, connecting data from units in the City; developed mechanisms and policies to remove obstacles and open up public asset resources; decentralization, authorization… to bring high efficiency in management and use of public assets, avoiding waste.
According to the representative of the Hanoi Department of Construction, the Department has advised the City People's Committee to issue a document approving the policy and decision to withdraw and enforce the withdrawal of 113 locations that are used in violation of regulations and has withdrawn 56 locations (including 6 locations that are specialized houses owned by the State; 42 locations are service business areas in resettlement buildings). Currently, the People's Committees of districts and towns are continuing to enforce the withdrawal of the remaining violating locations in the spirit of resolutely handling existing violations.
Resolutely remove slow-moving projects
According to National Assembly deputies, one of the urgent issues in the CLP is to review and thoroughly handle long-standing backlog projects and ineffective projects that cause great loss and waste, because "these are State assets and people's money". Above all, the responsibilities of slow-progressing and wasteful projects must be clarified, and someone must be held responsible for the waste; projects that cannot be completed must be revoked.
This is also an issue that Hanoi is determined to resolve. In Hanoi, there are currently many projects that are slow to be implemented, including projects located in the "golden lands" of the capital. To resolve these projects, Hanoi has implemented many solutions, including strengthening inspection and examination to propose solutions...
In particular, the City has clearly identified 712 non-budget capital projects that use land but are slow to implement and focused on handling them (according to Resolution No. 04/NQ-HDND dated April 8, 2022 of the Hanoi People's Council on measures to accelerate investment progress, focusing on handling non-budget capital projects that use land that are slow to implement). After two years of implementation, statistics show that by the end of June 2024, the City People's Committee has directed the handling of a cumulative 705 projects, with a total area of 11,345 hectares of land that have had inspection, examination, post-inspection conclusions and directed handling, assigned units to continue to monitor, urge to accelerate investment progress, put land into use; there are 7 projects with a total area of 88.5 hectares of land that have had policy decisions but have not been allocated or leased land by the State, the Department of Planning and Investment is continuing to review to propose handling options.
Of these 712 projects, 410 projects (with a total area of 9,089.5 hectares of land) were removed from the list of slow-moving projects and continued to be monitored according to the provisions of law. A special working group of the City on removing difficulties and obstacles, effectively supporting enterprises, investors, and investment projects in the City was established and joined together to coordinate; monitor, urge, and direct units to urgently remove, handle, and resolve each project to overcome violations and speed up implementation progress.
At a recent meeting to resolve difficulties and obstacles for a number of investment projects organized by the Hanoi People's Committee, Chairman of the Hanoi People's Committee Tran Sy Thanh gave instructions on a number of housing projects that were slow to be implemented and put into use, causing public outrage due to waste. In which, specific tasks were assigned to units, with deadlines for completion, showing the determination of the city to resolve and handle them.
Typically, for the Phap Van - Tu Hiep Student Housing Project, the City requires the Department of Construction, the Department of Finance and the City Civil Works Construction Investment Project Management Board to coordinate and make final payments according to completed items; to be completed in December 2024 (for the transformer station item, payment and finalization will be made later). Regarding the conversion of items A2, A3, A4 to social housing for rent, the Department of Construction and the City Civil Works Construction Investment Project Management Board are assigned to urgently prepare a Report proposing investment policies, organize appraisal, and submit to the City People's Council for consideration and approval of investment policies at the meeting in early 2025.
On that basis, complete the renovation and upgrading of buildings A2 and A3 in 2026, and complete the investment in construction of building A4 no later than 2027. Or for the Resettlement Housing Project in Den Lu III Urban Area, the Chairman of the City People's Committee requested the People's Committee of Hoang Mai District to focus on directing relevant units to urgently renovate and repair works CT1, CT2, CT3, ensuring quality and environmental landscape to serve the resettlement of the people; complete and hand over the works in the second quarter of 2025 to arrange resettlement for projects in the district and other projects in the district...
The City leaders always determined that, regardless of subjective or objective reasons, the projects that are slow to be implemented and put into use as mentioned above have shown signs of waste, especially waste of time in implementation. This is one of the evidences showing that Hanoi has been making efforts to handle and remove obstacles for abandoned projects in the area, to promote CLP, creating more resources for development.
To improve the effectiveness of implementation, Hanoi has resolutely requested departments, branches, sectors and local authorities to be transparent in implementation, practice thrift, and waste management; especially publicizing wasteful behavior and results of handling wasteful behavior. Notably, the city has done a good job of reducing focal points, organization, apparatus, thoroughly overcoming duplication and overlap of functions and tasks, thereby improving the management capacity and human resource management of agencies and units.
