Regulations on inspection and examination of provincial and commune levels when district level is removed

The Prime Minister has just issued Decision No. 759/QD-TTg approving the Project to rearrange and reorganize administrative units at all levels and build a model of organizing local government at both levels, which clearly states the working relationship between local governments at the provincial and commune levels.

According to the project, in the model of organizing local government at 2 levels, the provincial level plays the role of a level that directly directs and manages and operates the activities of the commune level in the provincial level.

The provincial level has the authority to issue resolutions, decisions, and directives to direct, guide, manage, and inspect the implementation at the commune level, ensuring that the activities of local authorities at the commune level must be consistent with the policies and guidelines of the central government and the resolutions and decisions of the People's Council and People's Committee at the provincial level.

Provincial authorities inspect and supervise local authorities at the commune level through the exercise of the right of the Provincial People's Council to supervise the implementation of the Constitution and laws at the local level, and supervise the activities of People's Committees at the same level and at the commune level according to the provisions of law.

The provincial People's Committee exercises the right to conduct administrative inspections and examinations of local authorities at the commune level, ensuring the effectiveness, efficiency and efficiency of state management in the administrative system.

The inspection, supervision and control of the power of local authorities at the provincial level is also carried out through personnel work.

Accordingly, the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Council shall approve the results of the election, dismissal, and removal of Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Commune People's Council; Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee shall approve the results of the election, dismissal, removal, and decision on the transfer and removal of Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Commune People's Committee.

Provincial authorities shall decentralize and authorize state management tasks to commune-level authorities to promote the dynamism, creativity, autonomy, and self-responsibility of commune-level local authorities in managing and implementing socio-economic development tasks in the area.

The Law on Organization of Local Government 2025 has a separate chapter on determining the authority, decentralization, delegation, and authorization of local governments at all levels in accordance with the requirements of the new situation.
