Reporting the Government's summary report, Minister of Home Affairs Pham Thi Thanh Tra said that in the plan to arrange administrative units, Bac Giang province will arrange 4/10 district-level administrative units that are encouraged to form 4 new district-level administrative units.
Specifically, Bac Giang merged Yen Dung district into Bac Giang city and adjusted the administrative boundaries of Luc Ngan district and Son Dong district, establishing Chu town.
In addition, Bac Giang also rearranged 34/209 commune-level administrative units to form 17 new commune-level administrative units; established 16 wards and 2 towns on the basis of 18 existing commune-level administrative units. After the rearrangement, the province did not change the number of district-level administrative units; reduced 17 commune-level administrative units.
Quang Ninh province rearranged 12/177 commune-level administrative units to form 6 new commune-level administrative units; established Dong Trieu city on the basis of Dong Trieu town and established 4 wards on the basis of 4 communes of Dong Trieu town. After the rearrangement, the province did not change the number of district-level administrative units (13 units) and reduced 6 commune-level administrative units.
Other provinces and cities did not reorganize district-level administrative units but only merged them at the commune level. Specifically, Can Tho city reorganized 4/83 commune-level administrative units, reducing 3 units. Dak Lak province merged 11/184 commune-level administrative units, reducing 4 units. Dong Nai province reorganized 22/170 commune-level administrative units, reducing 11 units.
Gia Lai province reorganized 5/220 commune-level administrative units, reducing 2 communes. Khanh Hoa province merged 12/139 commune-level administrative units, reducing 7 units. Lao Cai province reorganized 2/152 commune-level administrative units, reducing 1 commune. Ninh Thuan province reorganized 5/65 commune-level administrative units, reducing 3 communes.
Similarly, Phu Yen province merged 9/110 commune-level administrative units, reducing 4 communes. Thai Binh province rearranged 28/260 commune-level administrative units, reducing 18 communes. Tien Giang province rearranged 10/170 commune-level administrative units, reducing 6 units. Vinh Long province rearranged 10/107 commune-level administrative units, reducing 5 communes.
“Thus, the Government proposes to rearrange 5 district-level administrative units and 186 commune-level administrative units to form 5 new district-level administrative units and 99 new commune-level administrative units in 13 provinces and cities. After the rearrangement, the number of district-level administrative units in 13 provinces and cities will not change; 87 commune-level administrative units will be reduced,” said the Minister of Home Affairs.
In addition, Ms. Tra also informed that there are 7 provinces and cities: Can Tho, Dak Lak, Dong Nai, Lao Cai, Ninh Thuan, Phu Yen, Vinh Long that do not have administrative units with special factors that are not recommended for arrangement.
The 6 provinces of Bac Giang, Gia Lai, Khanh Hoa, Quang Ninh, Thai Binh, and Tien Giang proposed not to arrange 3 district-level administrative units and 67 commune-level administrative units due to specific factors. Specifically, the 3 districts include: Co To island district of Quang Ninh province, Tan Phu Dong district of Tien Giang province, and Dac Po district of Gia Lai province.
According to the Minister of Home Affairs, the organization and consolidation of agencies, units and leadership positions of agencies and units in the political system of the newly formed district and commune-level administrative units after the rearrangement of 13 provinces and cities are carried out in accordance with Party regulations, the organization's Charter and current laws, without any problems.
Bac Giang and Quang Ninh provinces have arranged and established district-level administrative units but there are no redundant district-level cadres, civil servants and public employees (because the number of district-level administrative units remains unchanged).
Ms. Tra also said that the total number of redundant cadres, civil servants, health officials and non-professional workers at the commune level in 13 provinces and cities is 1,935 people; the total number of redundant headquarters is 148.
The People's Committees of 13 provinces and cities have developed detailed plans to resolve the surplus of cadres, civil servants, public employees and part-time workers at the commune level in accordance with regulations. At the same time, the provinces and cities have also developed plans to resolve the surplus of headquarters and public assets.
