The "60-day-night campaign to accelerate and complete the disbursement of public investment capital in 2024" was launched by the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee. This will be an important basis for localities to be more drastic and thorough in leadership and direction to achieve the goal that by December 31, 2024, the whole province will disburse 100% of the assigned capital.
Challenge the "sprint" stage
The figure of VND 9,301.7 billion, reaching 65.9% of the plan and 10.8% higher than the same period, reflects the great determination of Thanh Hoa province in directing and managing the task of disbursing public investment capital. However, besides the agencies, localities and units that have performed well, the disbursement progress of some units is still quite "sluggish". Accordingly, there are 31 investors and localities whose disbursement rate is lower than the average disbursement rate of the whole province (17 provincial departments, branches, sectors and units; 13 district-level People's Committees and Thanh Hoa Employment Service Center).
At the provincial conference on promoting the disbursement of public investment capital in 2024 (held on October 30), Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Do Minh Tuan requested units and localities that disbursed "0 VND", or had a disbursement rate among the bottom of the province, to explain the reasons for the delay.
Typically, the Department of Transport, in 2024, the department was assigned a total capital of 656 billion VND, of which 212 billion VND has been disbursed, leaving 441 billion VND. This capital is focused on investing in 2 projects: The road from Bim Son Industrial Park to the coastal road section Nga Son - Hoang Hoa and the Coastal Road Project section Hoang Hoa - Sam Son and Quang Xuong - Tinh Gia (now Nghi Son town). The reason was explained by the leaders of the Department of Transport as being due to the site clearance work not meeting the requirements, difficulties in construction materials and especially due to the decline in contractor capacity. Although the provincial and department leaders have continuously urged and issued written reminders, even warnings many times, the progress is still very slow. Most recently, the department met with contractors and related units and issued an "ultimatum" to the units. At the same time, continue to urge and encourage contractors to speed up project progress.
As of September 2024, Nga Son district has disbursed 74% of public investment capital (101/115 billion VND). However, because at the end of September the province added more capital for the locality to carry out site clearance for 2 major projects, Nga Son's disbursement rate has dropped to the bottom of the province. Based on this reality, to speed up the disbursement of public investment capital, Nga Son district leaders are requesting provincial departments and branches to promptly handle local proposals on land price lists, site clearance compensation price lists, etc. For the same reason as Nga Son district, as of September 30, Nong Cong district has disbursed 80% of public investment capital. However, by October, due to an additional 56.3 billion VND, bringing the total capital to 118 billion VND, the district's disbursement rate decreased to 43.3%, lower than the rate of the whole province...
Along with the delay in disbursing public investment capital due to land acquisition and clearance problems, document procedures are also a common "bottleneck". In particular, the progress of document preparation for newly started projects with implementation periods from 2022-2025 is still very slow. There are still 17 projects that have not been approved for investment (including 10 projects under the project of arranging residents affected by flash floods), leading to these projects not being allocated capital for implementation. In particular, the progress of implementing some key projects is still very slow, affecting the overall disbursement rate of the whole province. Typically, the Project for Integrated Development of Dynamic Cities - Tinh Gia Urban Sub-project, Thanh Hoa province, borrowing from the World Bank, disbursed 30,803/295,721 billion VND (reaching 10.4% of the plan); Project of Road connecting National Highway 1 with National Highway 45 from Hoang Xuan commune, Hoang Hoa district to Thieu Long commune, Thieu Hoa district (Km5+250 - Km14+603) - Sub-project 1: Ma River overpass and road at both ends of the bridge from Km5+250 - Km7+250, disbursement of 43,397/150,879 billion VND (28.8% of the plan); Van Thien Road to Ben En project, disbursement of 128,262/305,966 billion VND (41.9% of the plan); Ngoc Lac Urban Infrastructure Improvement Project, Ngoc Lac District, Thanh Hoa Province, part of the Urban Infrastructure Improvement Project to mitigate the impact of climate change for 4 coastal provinces of the North Central region, borrowed AFD capital, disbursed 154,096/323.38 billion VND (reaching 47.7% of the plan); North-South Expressway Connection Project, National Highway 1A to Nghi Son Port, disbursed 104,061/201,727 billion VND (reaching 51.5% of the plan)...
The above situation requires the Provincial People's Committee and sectors, localities and units to have stronger solutions if they want the target of disbursing public investment capital in 2024 to be successfully achieved.
The final campaign
Faced with the difficulties and obstacles, especially to complete the target of disbursing public investment capital in 2024, according to Directive No. 26/CT-TTg dated August 8, 2024 of the Prime Minister on key tasks and solutions to promote disbursement of public investment capital in the last months of 2024, it requires determination, drasticness and great efforts of all levels, sectors, localities and related units.
Directing at the provincial conference on promoting the disbursement of public investment capital in 2024, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Do Minh Tuan emphasized: Among the many subjective and objective reasons leading to the slow disbursement progress of public investment capital of 31 investors and localities, it has been clearly pointed out. In particular, it is impossible not to emphasize the number 1 reason which is the leadership and direction of some Party committees and authorities and the responsibility of the leaders. Many localities have not been resolute in their direction; while some localities appear confused, with no measures to remove difficulties and obstacles. The Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee said that if the leaders of localities do not fully understand the viewpoint of having to share responsibility, work for the common good and for the common benefit, the disbursement of public investment capital will remain deadlocked.
Faced with that situation and especially under the time pressure of the last 2 months of the year, the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee launched the "60-day and night campaign to accelerate and complete the disbursement of public investment capital in 2024". Launching the campaign at this final moment is extremely important, as it will be the basis for localities to be more drastic and thorough in leadership and direction to achieve the goal that by December 31, 2024, the whole province will disburse 100% of the assigned capital. "This goal must be completed under any circumstances and Thanh Hoa is confident enough to complete it", this is the emphasis of the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee when launching the "60-day and night campaign to accelerate and complete the disbursement of public investment capital in 2024".
Thus, the goal is clear and the direction of the head of the Provincial People's Committee is also very clear. The remaining problem lies in the responsibility of departments, branches, localities and units in implementing solutions to accelerate the disbursement of public investment capital in the last months of 2024. In which, it is necessary to first overcome the limitations in leadership, direction and responsibility of the head, as pointed out by the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee. Because determining the disbursement of public investment capital as a key political task, it requires the leadership and direction of the Party Committee and the government to be really close, drastic, specific and even have to grasp each project. In order to promptly resolve and solve arising difficulties and problems, especially problems related to land, land prices, premises, etc.
And only when the sense of responsibility of the leader is promoted and the awareness of the meaning and importance of timely and effective disbursement of public investment capital is thoroughly understood by all levels and sectors, will it create the premise for localities and units to focus all resources on implementing the "60-day - night campaign to accelerate and complete the disbursement of public investment capital in 2024". At the same time, for this campaign to be implemented thoroughly, quickly and thoroughly, which is also to accelerate the completion of the set goals, the requirement for localities and units at this time is to urgently and proactively have more drastic, appropriate and flexible solutions; clearly identify people, clear work, clear responsibilities, clear time, clear results, have focus, key points, effectiveness and complete each task. In particular, strengthen discipline and order in all stages, especially the quality of consultants, contractors, and construction quality. Increase the frequency of on-site inspection and supervision to immediately correct shortcomings and limitations; as well as urge contractors and consultants to speed up progress, especially key projects and projects using foreign capital. At the same time, resolutely and strictly handle investors, organizations and individuals who intentionally cause difficulties, obstruct, and irresponsibly delay the capital allocation progress. Continue to proactively review and evaluate the disbursement capacity of each project, synthesize the additional capital needs of the projects and have plans to adjust the capital plan from slow-disbursing projects to fast-disbursing projects, ensuring the disbursement of all allocated capital.
60 days is not much, if not very tight, while many localities and units still have a large amount of work to do. However, there have been many successful lessons on the ability to "overcome the narrow door", such as the recent land acquisition campaign to serve the implementation of the 500kV line 3 project. Therefore, it is hoped that the confidence of the head of the Provincial People's Committee will also convey the spirit of confidence and excitement to all levels, sectors, localities and units. From there, the "60-day - night campaign to accelerate and complete the disbursement of public investment capital in 2024" will be successful. At the same time, it will create a premise for Thanh Hoa to reach the target of socio-economic development in 2024.
