For many years, voters in Ha Tinh province have been particularly concerned about and have made recommendations regarding the Thach Khe iron mine project. The project's implementation has given rise to numerous problems that have comprehensively affected the lives of the people. Therefore, voters in the province propose a decisive decision to halt the project's exploitation so that the province can adjust its overall planning, focus on developing the marine economy , tourism, and services, exploit and maximize potential, create a breakthrough in socio-economic recovery and development, and promptly address the impacts caused by the project, especially on the environment, livelihoods, and infrastructure.
The delegation of National Assembly deputies from Ha Tinh province at the 6th session of the 15th National Assembly.
Listening to the concerns and aspirations of the voters, the Provincial National Assembly Delegation has repeatedly raised the issue of halting the Thach Khe iron mine exploitation in the National Assembly and other forums. Specifically, during the sessions of the 2021-2026 term, the delegation raised, proposed, and questioned this issue six times.
Most recently (October 24, 2023), at the group discussion session of the 6th National Assembly session, Comrade Hoang Trung Dung - Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Chairman of the Provincial People's Council, and Head of the Provincial National Assembly Delegation - continued to request the Government to soon have a plan to stop the exploitation of the Thach Khe iron mine. Following this, the Government directed central ministries and agencies to pay attention to the matter and will soon provide an official opinion on this issue.
During a group discussion session within the framework of the 6th Session of the 15th National Assembly, Comrade Hoang Trung Dung - Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Chairman of the Provincial People's Council, and Head of the Provincial Delegation of National Assembly Deputies - continued to request the Government to soon develop a plan to stop the exploitation of the Thach Khe iron mine.
The opinions of voters in Huong Son, Vu Quang, and Huong Khe districts, proposing the recognition of spotted deer as livestock, have also been considered by the Provincial National Assembly Delegation and brought to the parliamentary session. In particular, during the National Assembly's discussion of the Livestock Law project on November 7, 2018, the delegation presented arguments, evidence, and the aspirations of voters to remove this animal, which has been domesticated for approximately 300 years, from the list of forest animals.
The approved legitimate proposal has contributed to developing a herd of 50,000 deer into a key agricultural product of Ha Tinh province, while also improving the livelihoods and increasing incomes for thousands of deer farmers in other provinces.
Ngan Truoi - Cam Trang Project.
In 2019, many voters were concerned that a lack of funding would prevent the construction of the irrigation canal system for the Ngan Truoi - Cam Trang Project (phase 2), resulting in a lack of coordination and potentially failing to irrigate 30,926 hectares of agricultural land as planned.
In the context of the province lacking resources, with unfinished projects and voters' expectations, the Provincial National Assembly Delegation raised this issue in the National Assembly forum. Subsequently, the Government allocated an additional 836 billion VND from the central government's general reserve fund to support the completion of the project.
Voters have submitted many pressing issues from the grassroots level to the National Assembly representatives in Ha Tinh.
At each session, the Provincial National Assembly Delegation participated in 27-35 instances of giving opinions, discussing, and questioning on all areas of socio-economic development, national defense and security, and social welfare; including many major issues that voters in the province are waiting for and that the whole country is concerned about, such as: planning and development of citrus fruit trees, support for agricultural product consumption, policies on agriculture, farmers and rural areas, and job creation after the COVID-19 pandemic... In addition, from 2016 to the present, the delegation has compiled and reported 581 voter opinions falling under the jurisdiction of the Central Government.
Overview of the 6th Session of the 15th National Assembly.
Deputy Head of the Provincial National Assembly Delegation Tran Dinh Gia stated: “With thorough preparation and a high sense of responsibility, the Ha Tinh National Assembly Delegation always participates fully and seriously in all sessions and effectively contributes to the agenda and programs, making a significant contribution to the overall success of the sessions.

In addition, to address the aspirations and proposals of voters in Ha Tinh, on the sidelines of each session, the delegation has held working meetings with ministries, agencies, and leaders of the National Assembly and the Government to resolve issues.”
Like the 28 households whose land was encroached upon in Toan Thang village, Thach Tri commune (Thach Ha district), Mr. Le Khac Kinh in Dong Van village, Thach Van commune (Thach Ha district) was extremely happy to hold in his hands the land use right certificate for his encroached plot of land.
Mr. and Mrs. Le Khac Kinh from Dong Van village (Thach Van commune) were delighted to receive the land use rights certificate for their illegally occupied plot of land in Toan Thang village, Thach Tri commune (Thach Ha district).
Mr. Kinh shared: “More than 1,700 square meters of land that my family has been occupying illegally for a long time has not been granted a land title, lacking legal validity. These difficulties faced by my family have been listened to by the Provincial National Assembly Delegation and the Provincial People's Council representatives. We are very happy that the representatives understood and resolved our issues. Not only do we now officially own our land, but we also have the right to mortgage it with the bank to borrow capital for our children to go abroad for work.”
Mr. Kinh's case is proof that the voice of the voters has truly resonated with the concerns of the National Assembly deputies and provincial People's Council representatives. Immediately after the meetings, the elected representatives researched and studied the regulations of the Central Government and the province to find ways to resolve the issue.

To date, more than 41,000 land use right certificates have undergone registration of changes in accordance with Resolution 175.
Along with macro-level issues, the Provincial National Assembly Delegation and the Provincial People's Council representatives have also left many marks through updating, researching, and proposing solutions to many problems and cases in the province to ensure the rights of voters, such as: clarifying the responsibilities of organizations and individuals involved in the delay in resolving the widow's benefits for Ms. Duong Thi Hong Lan (Ha Tinh City); allocating residential land to Ms. Tran Thi Lieu (widow of a fallen soldier in Nghi Xuan district); reviewing the handling of violations related to the Phong Lan Hotel eco-tourism project in Nghi Xuan; and the allowance system for village and hamlet officials...

This not only helps ensure the rights of the people and meets the aspirations of the voters, but also contributes to improving the quality and effectiveness of the activities of elected bodies, stabilizing the political situation, promoting socio-economic development, and ensuring national defense and security in the province...”.

Through the implementation of citizen petition work, many issues have been researched and proposed to the National Assembly and the Provincial People's Council for consideration, and recommendations have been made to competent State agencies to incorporate them in order to improve policies and laws and ensure the legitimate rights and interests of voters and the people. This contributes to affirming the position, role, and prestige of the Provincial People's Council, creating closeness, affection, and trust among voters and the people."
