Central model
The resolution on the organization of the National Assembly's agencies and the number of members of the Standing Committee of the 15th National Assembly approved at this session of the National Assembly shows that the National Assembly is determined in its policy of streamlining the apparatus. Accordingly, the new organization of the National Assembly includes the Ethnic Council and 7 committees, 4 committees less than the current number. Regarding the Government's apparatus, compared to the beginning of the term (the Government consists of 18 ministries and 4 ministerial-level agencies), the Government's organizational structure just approved by the National Assembly reduces 5 ministries and ministerial-level agencies, leaving 14 ministries and 3 ministerial-level agencies. This number is the result of the organization arrangement and consolidation of ministries and branches with similar functions, demonstrating the Government's high determination.

The approval of the organization of the National Assembly and the Government at this session of the National Assembly clearly demonstrated the determination of the Central Committee to take the lead in the revolution of streamlining the apparatus. As the general objective of Resolution No. 18-NQ/TW dated October 25, 2017 of the 6th Conference of the 12th Central Committee on a number of issues on continuing to innovate and reorganize the apparatus of the political system to be streamlined and operate effectively and efficiently has been determined: to strengthen the leadership role of the Party; improve the effectiveness and efficiency of State management and the quality of operations of the Fatherland Front and socio-political organizations. Above all, to promote the people's mastery.
“I think that the 9th Extraordinary Session, especially the session on February 18, clearly demonstrated the Central Committee’s responsibility for the nation’s destiny in the era of rising up. Only by streamlining the apparatus and building a truly efficient, effective, and effective apparatus will we have enough strength for the nation to spread its wings and fly far,” said voter Nguyen Tien Dung, Hong Linh town, Ha Tinh.
In terms of implementation, after following the developments of the meeting in recent days, voter Ngo Duc Thai, Hung Nguyen district, Nghe An province, affirmed that the policy of streamlining the apparatus is correct, but he also worried about the implementation in localities: “Since it is a revolution, there must be a very high determination, great consensus and also disadvantages and sacrifices of interests. In my opinion, in addition to timely mechanisms and policies, each cadre and party member needs to promote their pioneering role, creating favorable conditions for the revolution to streamline the apparatus to be completed soon, promoting efficiency, effectiveness and efficiency. At the same time, the Party and the State also need to have specific roadmap solutions to retain talented people, ensuring that after the streamlining of the apparatus, it will be both red and professional,” Mr. Thai emphasized.
Improve performance, efficiency, effectiveness of operations
At this session, a draft law that most voters and people are interested in is the Law on Organization of Local Government (amended). The passed law will be an important legal corridor for the reorganization of the provincial and district government apparatus in the process of streamlining the apparatus in the spirit of Resolution No. 18-NQ/TW.
There has never been a session where the atmosphere of waiting for the National Assembly to vote to pass the Law has been as intense as this session, especially for the Law on Organization of Local Government (amended), because as part of the roadmap for streamlining the apparatus of local governments, this is an important legal "key". In the morning session on February 19, with 458/459 National Assembly deputies present participating in the vote in favor, reaching a rate of 99.78% (equal to 95.82% of the total number of National Assembly deputies), the 15th National Assembly officially passed the Law on Organization of Local Government (amended). Voters expect that the new regulations will contribute to streamlining the local government apparatus in accordance with the set goal of improving efficiency, effectiveness and operational effectiveness, voter Hoang Anh Tuc, Dong Hoi city, Quang Binh province believes.
The red thread running through the laws presented at the Ninth Extraordinary Session is the issue of decentralization and delegation of power. In particular, the majority of voters expect that decentralization to localities will create initiative and be a lever for localities to make breakthroughs. "Along with regulations on decentralization, delegation of power, and authorization, clearly stipulating in the law the autonomy and self-responsibility of local governments will create initiative for localities. The law also stipulates the effective implementation of power control associated with inspection and supervision by higher-level state agencies to ensure decentralization and delegation of power in the right direction, avoiding abuse of power. These are contents that have been innovated on the basis of carefully absorbing the discussion opinions of National Assembly deputies, suggestions from voters and the people," said voter Vo An Ha, K'rong Nang district, Dak Lak.
Along with the provisions on decentralization and delegation of power, the National Assembly's law amendment grants many new powers to local authorities at the district level. Notably, the clear provision that the People's Council at the district level is allowed to issue policies will be the "key" to removing the "bottleneck" that localities have long been confused about in performing the function of deciding important local issues of local elected bodies. Scientific, methodical, strict and flexible from the preparation stage to the running of the session are also the highlights of the Ninth Extraordinary Session, affirming that the National Assembly acts for the people, is ready to establish legal institutions to develop the country in the new era.
