TPO - Binh Tan District Party Secretary Huynh Khac Diep said that the district has proposed to reclaim 5 plots of land to carry out political tasks, but after more than 1 year, only 1/5 of the plots of land have been implemented, leading to waste.
On the afternoon of December 9, the 20th session of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Council entered a group discussion session revolving around the implementation of goals and tasks for 2024, and the theme and plan for implementing tasks for 2025.
Mr. Huynh Khac Diep - Secretary of Binh Tan District Party Committee - acknowledged that the 2025 growth target of Ho Chi Minh City of over 10% to approach the Resolution of the City Party Congress on growth rate is a huge challenge. However, through studying the draft, he has not seen a very specific and highly feasible solution to achieve the double-digit economic growth target (GRDP) in the area.
Discussing solutions to achieve the above goals, Mr. Huynh Khac Diep emphasized the exploitation of resources, including land resources, which has been proposed in recent years but not implemented effectively.

Mr. Diep cited that right in Binh Tan district, through reviewing the total land fund in the area and proposing that the city review the land plots managed by enterprises and corporations under the city, the results showed that exploitation was ineffective, even many plots of land were used only for parking lots.
Binh Tan District has also proposed to reclaim 5 plots of land to carry out other political tasks. However, after more than 1 year, the authorities have only been able to implement 1/5 of the land, leading to huge waste. Therefore, Mr. Diep said that it is necessary to tighten the implementation according to the process and procedures in the context that the city is carrying out the task of fighting waste under the direction of General Secretary To Lam.
In addition, the Secretary of the Binh Tan District Party Committee also suggested that the city promote the disbursement of public investment. According to Mr. Diep, to implement effectively, the city should boldly decentralize and delegate more and more effective authority to districts to implement public investment projects.
“It is necessary to clearly and decisively delegate authority to districts, because currently, the authority is delegated to districts, but localities still ask for the city's opinion. It is necessary to completely transfer authority to districts in the spirit of local decision and local responsibility,” Mr. Diep suggested.

Concerned about the issue of waste, District 1 Party Secretary Duong Anh Duc acknowledged that currently “we are making things difficult for ourselves”. According to Mr. Duc, the mechanism for managing land and public assets has two opposing streams.
Specifically, some businesses in the city want to return the land they are managing because they are not using it effectively and have to pay land tax, waiting year after year without being able to pay. On the other hand, there are places that want to reclaim it but “do not release it”. Mr. Duc said that this is related to the level and effectiveness of legal regulations.
Regarding public asset management, Deputy Director of the Department of Finance Tran Mai Phuong said that the department has issued a document requesting units to specifically report on the review of assets under management that are no longer needed for the department to report to the City People's Committee as well as propose related procedures.
According to Ms. Phuong, the project on Management, Use, Exploitation of Public Assets and Data Digitization is not only of interest to Ho Chi Minh City but also to the Ministry of Finance. The Ministry also has a program on management of public assets. Due to the large volume and quantity of public real estate in the city, the Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee has directed and the Department has coordinated with the University of Economics and Law (Ho Chi Minh City National University) to implement the project on Management, Use, and Exploitation of Public Assets.
Mr. Huynh Thanh Hung, Deputy Head of the Economic - Budget Committee of the HCMC People's Council, suggested that the city should consider and evaluate investment work in the area in a very specific way. This stems from the fact that some current projects have not been completed even though their implementation period has expired.
“Typical examples include the City Exhibition Center and Vinh Loc B resettlement area. After investment, most of them were left empty, with degraded infrastructure. Some projects were delayed, prolonged, and had their total investment adjusted… which has wasted resources and social funds,” said Mr. Hung.
