Regarding 8 cases of mass complaints and denunciations from localities in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, the Petition Committee recommends that the National Assembly Standing Committee request the Government and the Prime Minister to direct the People's Committees of the provinces and cities: Hanoi, Ba Ria-Vung Tau, Hai Duong, Tien Giang and Vinh Phuc to continue directing competent agencies to inspect, review and resolve the cases. For cases that have been reviewed and reviewed many times, it is recommended to closely coordinate with the Central agencies to propagate and mobilize citizens to comply with the decisions that have come into legal effect.
Regarding the 5 cases with signs of complications in security and order in 4 localities, it is proposed to direct the People's Committee of Hanoi and the People's Committees of Hung Yen, Lam Dong and Nghe An provinces to preside over and coordinate with the Government Inspectorate and relevant agencies at the central level to organize receptions and dialogues at the localities, direct competent agencies to accept and issue decisions to resolve (if they still have authority); organize reviews and re-reviews if there are grounds. Information and results of the resolution are requested to be urgently reported to the National Assembly Standing Committee.
Regarding the responsibility of receiving, verifying and responding to voters' petitions related to the tasks of the Public Security force, according to Deputy Minister of Public Security Le Quoc Hung, the Ministry of Public Security has received and responded to 100% of them, with no petitions overdue. The Ministry of Public Security has responded to 72/72 petitions and requests sent to the Standing Committee of the National Assembly in accordance with the provisions of law. All cases have been verified and responded to very clearly, going straight to the point and the request.
Mr. Truong Xuan Cu - National Assembly Delegate of Hanoi said that in reality, it is difficult to resolve all the petitions of voters; however, for clear, specific and correct cases, ministries and branches must be urged to handle them immediately. Regarding the settlement of complaints and denunciations, and providing evidence, Mr. Cu said that in Hanoi, there are many cases that have been resolved, with conclusions from competent authorities, even judgments from the Court, but people still continue to petition. There are many cases with a resolution document from Hanoi stating that "the problem is resolved and handled in accordance with the provisions of the law" but people still come to petition. Therefore, Mr. Cu recommended that agencies must be urged to thoroughly resolve petitions, complaints and denunciations. As for the issues that have been resolved, it is necessary to propagate them so that people understand and implement them to avoid lawsuits and large gatherings.
Mr. Le Nhu Tien, member of the 13th National Assembly, also said that the legal provisions clearly stipulate the responsibilities of agencies in receiving petitions sent by voters and citizens. Therefore, it is necessary to urge, monitor and inform the people about the settlement process of the competent agencies. In addition, it is necessary to add sanctions to the Law on Organization of the National Assembly, the Law on Civil Servants, the Law on Public Employees, the Law on Complaints, and the Law on Denunciations for delays in resolving petitions of voters, complaints and denunciations of citizens.
Regarding the petitions that have been resolved but still require resolution, Mr. Tien stated that there are many petitions and complaints that have been resolved at the competent authority but the people are still not confident and satisfied, so they complain to a higher authority. In this case, the authority that resolves the petitions must invite the people to explain that they have resolved the matter within their authority according to the provisions of law.
“For example, according to regulations, the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee resolves this issue. If it is sent to the central level, the petition will be sent back to the provincial level to request that it be resolved. Therefore, we must closely follow up to respond to citizens, propagate to help people understand, avoid complaints at higher levels, causing more trouble for central agencies and security and order. If people do not understand, explain many times so that they understand and limit the prolonged complaints and denunciations at higher levels,” Mr. Tien expressed.
