Ready for the "revolution" of streamlining the apparatus

Innovation in law-making

In the context of extensive integration and rapid development, perfecting a synchronous, transparent and feasible legal system is an urgent requirement. The National Assembly - the highest authority - has been strongly reforming the work of law-making.

One of the clear changes is the legislative thinking shift from passive to proactive. The National Assembly is increasingly proactive in proposing legislative programs, including them in hot and urgent issues, demonstrating the spirit of "legislation for the people".

Along with that, the legislative process was adjusted in a streamlined direction but still ensured quality. The application of information technology, gathering widely opinions from people and experts, helps increase transparency and multi-dimensional reflection.

In particular, the newly amended Law on Promulgation of Legal Documents has innovated the process of promulgating sub-law documents in the direction of shortening records, shortening appraisal time, not separating the policy-making stage - to save time, costs, improve efficiency and flexibly meet practical requirements.

Strengthening supervision and post-inspection

Sharing about the policy of innovation in thinking in law-making, National Assembly deputies said that decentralization and delegation of power should be strong in the direction of "locality decides, locality does, locality takes responsibility", along with strengthening inspection, examination and supervision activities.

Delegate Nguyen Quang Huan (National Assembly Delegation of Binh Duong Province) said that the thinking of law-making has clearly demonstrated the spirit of not building framework laws, pipeline laws.

If we build a framework law, the provisions are too broad, general and cannot be applied in practice; if we build a pipeline law, it is too detailed, all regulations are

of the industry is included in the law, thereby being construed as a decree and circular. That makes it easy for one industry and causes difficulties for another, that thinking is the thinking of circulars and decrees" - delegate Nguyen Quang Huan said.

The delegate believes and believes that the work of law-making has changed positively and will continue to change strongly in the coming time. Institutions are the bottleneck of bottlenecks, removing institutional bottlenecks plays an important role in unblocking all other bottlenecks; otherwise, businesses and people will still be confused in the institutional cycle. Therefore, law making needs to be clear, concise, easy to understand, easy to apply, not include circulars and decrees in the law and not write them together in the form of resolutions.

Meanwhile, National Assembly delegate Tran Hoang Ngan (Ho Chi Minh City National Assembly Delegation) affirmed that the work of law-making in the direction of promoting decentralization and delegation of power to localities for decision-making and localities to take responsibility is appropriate.

Along with that, in the process of inspection, examination, and auditing, it is necessary to be strict in handling violations - this creates deterrence and lessons in implementing investment projects.

According to the delegate, in the coming time, it is necessary to continue institutional reform, reflect practical urgent requirements, and add to the legal system to mobilize resources for national development.

Innovation in legislative work cannot be separated from monitoring the implementation and evaluating the effectiveness of the law after promulgation. The 15th National Assembly has increased thematic supervision activities, organized question-and-answer sessions and reported on the current status of law enforcement in practice.

This "posthumous inspection" helps identify inadequacies and promptly adjust inappropriate regulations or makes implementation difficult.

In reality, many provisions in the law, without strict supervision, will easily fall into form and not be put into practice. Therefore, the National Assembly's more attention to the feasibility and practical effectiveness of the law is to ensure the vitality and practicality of the legal system.

For the development of the country

Speaking at the meeting with voters in Hau Giang province on April 18, Politburo member and National Assembly Chairman Tran Thanh Man said: The 9th session of the 15th National Assembly will open early on June 5 and will be held in 2 phases: Phase 1 from May 5 to 28, phase 2 from June 11 to June 30.

At this session, the National Assembly plans to approve 33 laws, over 20 resolutions. In particular, the most important thing is to amend a number of articles of the 2013 Constitution to serve the streamlined revolution and revise the National Assembly's Election Law and the People's Council. The Chairman of the National Assembly said that collecting people's opinion on the constitution will take place within 1 month from 6.5-5.6 (summarizing opinions in 5 days). The National Assembly is expected to vote to approve the Resolution of the National Assembly amending and supplementing a number of articles of the 2013 Constitution.

After the revised Constitution is approved by the National Assembly, district-level activities will end. At the provincial level, after the merger of 63 provinces and cities, there will be 34 provinces and cities; for the commune level, it will also be reduced by 60-70% out of a total of more than 10,000 communes.

"This is an unprecedented great revolution. To make the first goal is to reduce the apparatus, ensure strong, performance, effective and effective; the second is to reduce the payroll; the third is to create a developed space; the fourth is to be close to the people, kill the people, create more favorable for the people. Streamlining the new apparatus with investment resources for the socio -economic development, the political system is strong."

The Chairman of the National Assembly said that the Politburo has decided to exempt all tuition fees for students from preschool to the end of public high school nationwide, also from the streamlined source of the organizational structure of the payroll. The implementation time starts from the 2025-2026 school year. Currently, the Politburo is also giving comments to be able to expand the tuition free for private and private education systems.
