New regulations aim to enhance accountability, discipline and transparency in public management
On April 2, Deputy Secretary of the Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee and Chairman of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee in the city Nguyen Phuoc Loc attended the quarterly review and planning conference for the first quarter of 2026 and the key tasks for the second quarter.
The working session covered eight wards and communes, including Hoa Hung, Cho Lon, Phuoc Thang, Tan Phuoc, Dong Hoa, Tan Dong Hiep, Ho Tram and Tan Vinh Loc.
In his address, Mr. Nguyen Phuoc Loc urged local authorities to focus on resolving bottlenecks in public investment, site clearance and legal procedures for projects; strengthen land management; eliminate outstanding violations; and address suspended or stalled planning projects.
He emphasized the need to overcome responsibility avoidance and shifting, enhance inspection and supervision, tighten discipline, and prevent corruption and negative practices.
The Party Committee’s Standing Committee has approved a draft regulation on decentralization in managing personnel, covering the planning, appointment, nomination, temporary suspension, dismissal, resignation and removal of officials.
Accordingly, the Standing Committee of local Party Committees must immediately define the scope of authority, responsibilities and personnel management procedures for all positions under their supervision.
Additionally, quarterly evaluations and rankings of officials must be substantive, based on verified work results. The proportion of officials achieving “excellent” performance must comply with regulations and implement corrective plans following performance review.
