EDITOR'S NOTE:
The Spring of At Ty is the moment marking the transformation of the country, the beginning of a new year with confidence and pride that the position, prestige and foundation of our nation, Party and country have never been as good as they are today in the international arena.
The New Year 2025 with many heroic historical events of the nation, starting with meaningful activities to celebrate the 95th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of Vietnam (February 3, 1930 - February 3, 2025).
95 years under the leadership of the Party, our country has gone through the era of national independence and building socialism (1930 - 1975); the era of national unification and innovation (1975 - 2025); and now, we are ready to enter a new era, the era of national growth, with the starting point being the important event, the 14th National Party Congress.
VietNamNet would like to share some articles, opinions, and perspectives on the important historical event of the 95th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of Vietnam.
On January 8, 2025, the Government Inspectorate announced its decision to inspect two projects that were implemented 10 years ago but are still unfinished and have not been put into use, causing great loss and waste.
That is the investment project to build new facilities 2 of Bach Mai Hospital and facilities 2 of Viet Duc Hospital. Recently, the prosecution agency has also initiated and investigated a number of cases causing great loss and waste to alert, warn, and deter in accordance with the guiding principle of "handling one case, alerting the whole region, the whole field".
Can't help it and can't delay any longer
The drumbeat of “anti-waste” sounded by General Secretary To Lam has created an immediate change in the awareness and actions of the entire political system and those responsible. That drumbeat has hit the nail on the head, hitting the right issues that have existed and been limited for many years, causing resentment among the people and public opinion, but due to the context of the situation and previous task requirements, it has not been focused on effectively resolving.
Now, before the nation enters a new era - the era of striving, developing richly and prosperously, preventing and combating waste has become one of the central and urgent tasks that cannot be left undone and cannot be delayed any longer. The country will find it difficult to develop strongly if it continues to waste resources and does not practice thrift in a reasonable manner!

Faced with that situation, the Politburo decided to add functions and tasks on waste prevention and control to the Central and provincial Steering Committees for Corruption Prevention and Control and change its name to the Steering Committee for Corruption Prevention and Control.
The Government and some localities also established a Steering Committee for Waste Prevention and Control headed by the Prime Minister, Secretary, and Chairman of the Provincial and Municipal People's Committee.
From here, there is a specialized agency that directly and regularly leads and directs the work of preventing and combating waste, with very specific criteria for measuring and evaluating implementation results, no longer general as before, no matter how difficult or problematic, they must be gradually resolved.
Immediately afterwards, the Central Steering Committee on preventing and combating corruption, waste and negativity clearly directed that the tasks of preventing and combating waste need to be implemented synchronously, from low to high levels, both prevention and detection and handling.
The priority that needs to be done immediately and completed in the first quarter of 2025 is to review projects that are behind schedule, have long backlogs, are ineffective, cause great loss and waste, and find a solution to resolve them.
The Government has established a Steering Committee to review and remove difficulties and obstacles related to backlogged projects. Ministries and local agencies are actively reviewing and initially pointing out many projects at risk of loss and waste.
Typically, Hanoi has identified more than 800 city-level projects of this type, and after handling only 3 projects, more than 42 trillion VND has been recovered. Once wasteful projects are identified, the agencies, organizations, and individuals responsible can be named.
If you aim at the target, you must "shoot" at the target.
In the future, many projects with signs of loss and waste will be inspected, checked, and audited, not just the two projects of Viet Duc Hospital and Bach Mai Hospital in Ha Nam.
General Secretary To Lam requested that there must be a responsible address, because this is the money and assets of the State and the people.
Accordingly, competent authorities will clarify violations to have appropriate forms of handling responsibilities, from Party discipline, administrative discipline, union discipline and to the highest level of criminal handling.
We have clearly identified what needs to be done, and who is responsible for the problems that have existed for many years. That means we have aimed at the target, the remaining problem is to "shoot" at the target and do it effectively.
The next question is what to do, how to do it so that similar limitations do not happen? The answer lies in two key points.
Firstly, linking waste prevention with corruption and negativity prevention. There are many reasons behind the delays and waste of slow-moving projects, including possibly the shadow of “term thinking”, corruption and negativity.
Corruption and waste are like twins, like two peas in a pod. The danger is that most of us do not consider waste to be a sin, so the disease of waste gradually seeps in, becomes chronic, and gets worse day by day, but is not diagnosed or treated in time, and we do not know who is specifically responsible.
Second, linking waste prevention with socio-economic development. In the context of old growth drivers reaching their limits and countries progressing further and further, we need to find new growth drivers.
Only innovation can create economic and social acceleration and breakthroughs. Innovation is nurtured by knowledge and talent. All these factors are formed, guaranteed and promoted on the basis of "institutions and institutions".
Innovation in thinking about building to perfect institutions will remove bottlenecks and bottlenecks, unblock human resources, economic resources, resources of the State, among the people and the whole society, avoiding waste.
This is the strategic task, because waste is not only material, but also invisible, difficult to identify, and impossible to measure.
The Draft Document of the 14th Party Congress has added and emphasized the task of preventing and combating waste, placing waste prevention and combat at the same level as preventing and combating corruption and negativity. This has brought a new mindset and spirit to the fight against corruption, waste and negativity.
New mindset and new spirit combined in the moment of new spring promise to contribute to continuing Vietnam's success story in the new era.
