Deputy Prime Ministers were tasked to conduct thorough review these draft decrees before submitting to the Prime Minister for issuance prior to June 12, according to the dispatch.
Decentralization and delegation of power from central to local levels are of significance to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of the political system in the new development era.
The aforesaid process shall be carried out in a comprehensive manner, from the National Assembly to the Government, from the Government to local administrations, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh was quoted by the Government News as saying while presiding over a meeting on decentralization and delegation of power on May 29.
In early November last year, Party General Secretary To Lam released an article calling for a "revolution" in streamlining the apparatus of the political system.
The article highlighted the current situation of the country’s political system which features cumbersome and multi-layered apparatus, leading to overlapping functions and hindering national development process.
Maintaining such an apparatus requires huge costs and reduces room for allocating financial resources for other important tasks, including ensuring national defense and security and improving people's life, according to the Party leader.
Party General Secretary To Lam pointed out that delays in streamlining and rearranging the apparatus of the political system have resulted in serious consequences, notably many guidelines and policies of the Party have slowly been realized or not implemented.
The Party leader requested the serious and comprehensive review of seven-year implementation of the Resolution No. 18 on continued reform and rearrangement of the apparatus of the political system adopted at the 6the plenum of the 12th Party Central Committee.
