The moment of transition from 2024 to the new year 2025 is an important milestone, with the merger of Dong Son district into Thanh Hoa city. Together with Thanh Hoa city, implementing Resolution No. 1238/NQ-UBTVQH15 of the National Assembly Standing Committee, localities in the province have also urgently implemented the merger of a number of commune-level administrative units that do not meet the standards on area and population size to establish new administrative units. After the merger, from January 1, 2025, Thanh Hoa province will have 26 district-level administrative units and 547 commune-level administrative units - a reduction of 1 district and 11 commune-level units.
Not only merging administrative units, these days, Thanh Hoa, along with the whole country, is urgently developing a plan to reduce the focal points of departments, offices, and units according to the direction of the Central Government with the motto "The Central Government sets an example, the localities respond", "running and lining up at the same time", the provincial level does not wait for the district level, the district level does not wait for the grassroots level.
According to the orientation of streamlining and streamlining the apparatus of the political system at the National Conference to thoroughly grasp and deploy the summary of Resolution No. 18-NQ/TW of the 12th Party Central Committee dated December 1, 2024, after the merger and termination of the operations of a number of agencies, there will be a minimum reduction of 4 Party agencies directly under the Central Committee, 25 Party executive committees, 16 Party delegations directly under the Central Committee, an increase of 2 Party committees directly under the Central Committee; a minimum reduction of 5 ministries, 2 agencies directly under the Government; a minimum reduction of 4 committees of the National Assembly. From the vertical arrangement of the apparatus, at the provincial level, the corresponding focal points will also be reduced, merged, and terminated.
General Secretary To Lam has repeatedly affirmed that continuing to innovate and reorganize the political system is an urgent requirement in the current practical situation, requiring the highest political determination, solidarity, unity, courage and sacrifice of each cadre and party member for the common good.
“Simplify” to make the apparatus truly “Effective”, “Efficient”, “Effective”. Because, an apparatus that has been reorganized many times is still too cumbersome, causing the budget to bear the burden of salary payments. An apparatus with too many intermediate levels, overlapping functions, tasks, many focal points, many “doors” makes the mechanism of asking and giving still exist, making bottlenecks difficult to remove, causing waste, corruption, and negativity to still have the opportunity to arise, and are the obstacles that hinder the development and progress of the country.
There can be no more delay! Although this is an extremely difficult task, with many “problems” to be solved: the mechanism and policies for cadres, civil servants, and public employees who retire before the age of retirement due to reorganization, the settlement of public assets after the merger and dissolution of agencies and units, the assessment and selection of truly capable people to stay and work, avoiding the brain drain... But no matter how difficult it is, we “only discuss doing, not discussing backing down”.
In the message sent to all cadres, party members, and people of all walks of life, General Secretary To Lam expressed the determination of a leader with the message: “The time of 100 years of our country under the leadership of the Party and 100 years of the founding of the country is not far away. To achieve strategic goals, it not only requires extraordinary efforts and outstanding efforts, but also does not allow us to be slow, lax, inaccurate, unsynchronized, or uncoordinated in every step. To do so, it is necessary to urgently carry out a revolution in streamlining the organization and apparatus of the political system...”.
