According to the leader of Hoanh Bo ward, the letter calling on people to contribute funds to buy equipment inside the cultural house is in accordance with the resolution on investment, renovation, and upgrading of infrastructure in residential areas and urban areas formed before 2005 in the wards of Ha Long city, which includes the content that the State and the people do together. Specifically, the State invests in the cultural house and the people in the area contribute according to their ability to buy equipment inside.
"The ward chiefs are responsible for mobilizing contributions according to each family's ability and are not required. Some people do not support it, but they also have opinions," said Mr. Hung.
According to Ms. Pham Thi Lan Chi, Secretary and Head of Troi 5 area, after receiving the cultural house, Troi 5 area mobilized people to contribute to buy equipment. Troi 5 area has more than 420 households, each household was mobilized to contribute 300 thousand. However, some households did not agree, so it is estimated that only about 400 households contributed 120 million VND.
Ms. Chi added that up to now, she has only received 105 million VND in contributions from the people. With this amount, Troi 5 area has bought about 30 tables, more than 100 chairs, speakers, fans, connected a 3-phase electrical system, and a television was contributed by a household.
"Calling on people to contribute money to buy equipment for the cultural house is not mandatory, everyone volunteers to complete the interior. Any furniture purchased will have invoices and be made public to the people for transparency," Ms. Chi affirmed.
