Tuoi Tre 's forum continues with readers' opinions, discussing the policy of innovation.
New momentum on a new track
Some people call this the “Second Renovation” after the success of the 1986 renovation. The policy of streamlining and streamlining the apparatus is a continuation of the reform, opening up, and resolving the “remnants”, which goes against the renovation policy.
For this innovation policy to be implemented, first of all, the leader must have a new vision and direction, putting the national interest above all else. This policy must be implemented from the top: "Cadres go first, the country follows."
The sensitive part of the policy of streamlining the state apparatus is the human issue. The expected effect from the reform is the quality of human resources with qualities and capacities that meet the development requirements of the modern economy and society.
The development of society and the country's economy is reflected in the quality and capacity of human resources, in which the civil servant team creates the dynamism of the political system, which is one of the core factors determining development.
The consequences of the subsidized economy, the mechanism of asking and giving as a “support” turned state agencies into “public property that no one cares about”. State-owned companies and enterprises that make losses have the State to cover their losses; being in the payroll of a state administrative or career unit is “sure of a foothold”, without worrying about losing one’s job like in private companies and enterprises.
Not to mention the “going here and there”, spending public funds under different names while people in remote areas are waiting every day for electricity projects, roads, schools, and stations. Therefore, the policy of streamlining the apparatus is not simply understood as “reducing staff” but is a revolution in the political system and human resources.
In essence, it is to rearrange, reorganize, and create momentum on the “race track” between the State and the private sector. The operational efficiency of the political system, the destination is the development of the country’s economy, culture, and society, creating opportunities for each individual to exploit and promote the potential within each person.
Understood like that, the policy of streamlining the state apparatus has no place for the so-called “meritorious officials”. No ministry, branch, agency, or enterprise of the state “stays calm” because it is considered that my agency is a “forbidden zone” that cannot be dissolved or merged, and then “stands still”.
The 15% reduction in streamlining the state apparatus does not only reflect the need for quantity. Behind the number are the people who have accompanied the agencies, offices, and state-owned enterprises, the jobs, the path to advancement, and dedication...
The burden of earning a living for oneself and one’s family… is a great challenge that requires the efforts of each individual to overcome themselves. And it is also an opportunity for each person and the whole nation to overcome.
Every civil servant and citizen in the process of innovation, entering the new era, is a person "looking for himself to surpass himself", picking up his backpack to continue the journey with passion for work and creative aspirations.
The renovation process is breathing life into Vietnamese social life, a "push" to promote the intelligence and talent of the Vietnamese people so that Vietnam can stand shoulder to shoulder with the world powers.
Regardless of the model, the effectiveness of an organization or apparatus is created by the people within that apparatus or organization. With the response, supervision, and feedback of the people, the apparatus will be more perfect over time.

There will be new elements, new spirit.
I agree that streamlining the apparatus is not a simple task because it is closely linked to streamlining the payroll. This really affects the mindset and life of many people who are playing a role in implementing public duties in the apparatus of the political system. But it cannot be avoided.
One thing I care about and hope for is: at the grassroots level, after merging agencies and reducing staff, it is the "real" quality public servants, young, dynamic, and daring cadres who dare to think and dare to do "new" will be the factors that create quality and efficiency for the apparatus after streamlining.
People like me expect what we see in cadres, civil servants, and public servants: those who take the spirit of serving the people with the goal of national development as the top priority; skillfully apply technology in their work; comply with the law, handle work according to procedures and deadlines, propose solutions to difficulties and problems that arise, and do not have an indifferent, apathetic, or giving attitude...
The difficulty for civil servants at the grassroots level to be able to serve wholeheartedly as expected is the pressure of a large amount of daily work, overlapping and complicated legal regulations, and insufficient authority assigned to the grassroots level.
As human beings, they are always concerned about food, rice, and money. To be able to work with peace of mind, in the spirit of serving the people, they need a favorable working environment and, most of all, a salary and income regime that ensures a decent living.
On the contrary, to enjoy their legitimate rights and benefits, people also need to make their contributions to the government organization and apparatus.
That is: always respect the law, not compromise with negative manifestations of petty harassment for personal gain; improve knowledge and skills to adapt to the "digital" environment; have a positive attitude, respect those performing public duties; have comments and suggestions to coordinate with agencies and organizations to find solutions to solve daily problems.
I believe that the determination and determination from the central government to streamline the apparatus will be successful. The grassroots level with the quality of those who carry out public duties and handle daily work will promote and quickly perfect the apparatus, demonstrating the effectiveness of streamlining the apparatus.
Can be even more compact

From the central to local levels, plans to merge affiliated units and departments have been announced. In the immediate future, the number of ministries, branches of the Government, and departments and offices at the district and provincial levels will be greatly reduced. The reduction must ensure that the conditions are met, that work efficiency is not affected, and that it is reasonable, which is what the people are expecting.
At the provincial, municipal and district levels, the mass mobilization committee will be merged with the propaganda committee, which is very reasonable. From here, we should continue to study the merger of the district People's Committee office with the internal affairs department; the district party committee office with the district party committee organization department. The nature of the work of these two units, if brought together, will have a mutually supportive effect to promote even better.
For the mass organizations, the veterans association and the traditional resistance club should be merged into one. The population and development steering committee, together with the children's committee, the committee for women's advancement and gender equality, and the family work steering committee should be merged with the Women's Union, which would be more appropriate.
It can be seen that we are currently “overfed” with steering committees. Once established, they must operate, make plans, compile reports, and hold endless meetings, which takes a lot of time and costs money. Should we reorganize them? Streamlining is only truly effective when we cut out the “whiskers” that are cumbersome, ineffective, and formal.
It is possible to be more streamlined. Organizational restructuring should be viewed as a regular process, not just a one-time event.
