The Government Inspectorate has just publicly announced the Conclusion of the specialized inspection of redundant houses and land after arrangement in Hanoi City.

The urging, supervision, and inspection of the organization of the implementation of the plan to rearrange and handle houses and land that has been approved:

The City People's Committee has not promptly directed functional agencies to strengthen inspection and examination work; the Department of Finance has not promptly advised and established delegations and working groups to urge and guide agencies, units, wards, and communes with redundant facilities to implement according to the Prime Minister's direction on promoting the implementation of asset handling plans after arrangement, organizational structure, and administrative units. Responsibility belongs to the Hanoi City People's Committee, the Hanoi City Department of Finance and relevant organizations and individuals.

Departments of Agriculture and Environment, and Public Administration Service Centers have not promptly identified surplus assets or those subject to handling according to legal regulations to prepare dossiers to report to agencies and competent persons for consideration and decision on handling according to regulations.

3 departments, branches, 16 wards, and communes have houses and land facilities that have not been put into use in time, and use is not effective.

There are 43 establishments/7 communes (Thach That, Thanh Oai, Doai Phuong, Quang Bi, Xuan Mai, Phu Nghia; Chuong My ward) that have been decided by the People's Committees of wards and communes to convert redundant headquarters functions into cultural or community activity facilities, but the usable area is still not suitable compared to standards and norms. The total redundant land area is determined to be 55,464 m2, and the house area is 22,305 m2.

Regarding resources for clearing: The Inspectorate determined that there are 29 houses and land facilities that need to be put into operation and use soon to clear resources with a total land area of 221,438 m2, and a total product area of 19,855 m2.

The Government Inspectorate proposed that the Hanoi City People's Committee, based on the shortcomings, limitations, and omissions mentioned in the Inspection Conclusion, the City People's Committee review and clarify the nature, extent, causes, and specific responsibilities of each relevant organization and individual through each period; based on the review results, if there are sufficient grounds and bases as prescribed, the organization shall consider responsibilities for strict handling according to legal regulations; report the results of the implementation of the inspection conclusion to the Government Inspectorate for synthesis and reporting to the Prime Minister.
