The result of the streamlined apparatus demonstrates the high responsibility of the Ministry of Finance
Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Phuong |
The task of streamlining the staff has been laid down for quite a long time. Through monitoring activities, the National Assembly still recognizes that the organizational structure of the political system has many clues; Effectiveness and efficiency have not met the requirements and tasks. Apart from some ministries and localities, efforts have been made to streamline the apparatus; many places have not yet been put into practice. How do you rate this issue?
It is true that the functional status, tasks, powers and organizational structure of some agencies and organizations still overlap. The strengthening of the organizational structure of the main system in combination with the reduction of staffing, the restructuring of the contingent of cadres, civil servants and civil servants achieved low results.
The report of the Ministry of Home Affairs shows that 11 localities use 7,951 staff in excess of the assigned number of civil servants; 31 out of 63 provinces and cities use payrolls, there are redundant localities with 161 vice chairpersons in communes and wards ...reviewing the data shows that the reduction of staffing, reducing the clue, improving the efficiency of work of the state administration is very slow, and even the apparatus is getting bigger and bigger.
However, recently, the implementation of the sixth plenum of the XIIth National Assembly "Some issues of continuing the renovation, reorganization of the political system, streamlining, effective operation", some ministries such as the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Public Security and some localities such as Quang Ninh, Ha Giang, Lao Cai and Yen Bai have made breakthroughs in the implementation of streamlined apparatus. This is a remarkable result and something the ministries, branches and localities need to drastically take part in so as to effectively carry out the task of streamlining the apparatus and reducing the staffing.
As recently said, the Ministry of Finance is one of the units which has made a breakthrough in innovation, rearranging apparatus under the streamlined and effective direction. What do you think about the performance of the Ministry of Finance?
According to reports from the press, figures released recently after the Ministry of Finance’s carrying out of the streamlined apparatus project are quite impressive and were agreed by many congressmen and people.
The results of merger and consolidation of units of the Ministry of Finance show the determination to reform the apparatus; Reform of the apparatus with reform of administrative procedures; to apply information technology and modernization in order to raise the efficiency and effectiveness of state management and law enforcement in the financial sector. This is a manifestation of high responsibility of the Ministry of Finance in implementing the Resolution of the Party Central Committee and the requirements of the National Assembly and the Government in streamlining the organization and payroll.
For many years we have not escaped the story "income is not enough to make up, spending often cannot reduce due to bulky apparatus." It is suggested that the reform of the apparatus, reduction of staffing can solve this problem. What is your opinion?
Our country currently has more than 90 million people, but up to 11 million people are paid from the budget. Therefore, balancing source to pay salary or spending on salary increase along the roadmap is always very difficult and many sources have to be searched.
With its responsibility, the Ministry of Finance has implemented many measures to implement the Government's policy on tightening spending, curbing inflation, reducing the public debt top, finding more management solutions to increase revenues. I share with the Ministry of Finance that it is always difficult to make the effort to balance the budget, because the "burden" of recurrent expenditures does not diminish, while still needing more funding for development and spending on social security ... Therefore, the need of decisively joining of the ministries, branches, localities, streamlined apparatus, reducing staffing to reduce public expenditure. At the same time, delivery agencies of public service must accelerate their autonomy without depending on budget. Reducing the payroll of this sector would significantly reduce the state budget.
The sixth plenum of the XIIth plenum of the Party Central Committee promulgated the Resolution No. 18-NQ / TU and Resolution No. 19-NQ / TU to overcome the cumbersome and ineffective apparatus structure. I think that there will be significant changes in this regard in the coming time. However, the implementation process needs to follow a specific roadmap, with careful steps, flexibility, listening and doing the ideological work for cadres and civil servants to create consensus. In addition, there should be a mechanism to select talented people who are capable of ensuring the work assigned.
Regarding the restructure of state budget expenditures, it is necessary to reduce the proportion of regular expenditures and increase the expenditures on development investment along with that, strengthening discipline, budget discipline, tightening recurrent expenditure to strictly manage public debt and budget overspending.
Thank you Sir!
