Mr. Le Hong Phuong makes a speech at the meeting

    In first half of 2009, Dong Nai’s National Assembly Delegation has been engaged in many important tasks such as legislation, inspection and survey. The Standing Committee of National Assembly, National Council and the Committees of National Assembly have carried out these tasks in Dong Nai. Also, they conducted two special inspections of policies, law enforcement, food quality control and food hygiene and safety and of how social insurance funds were managed and spent in Dong Nai for two years (2007 and 2008). Besides, the delegation had 23 meetings with 3,237 voters, met with 201 people, received and handled 328 public letters of complaint and accusation. Particularly, at the recent session of National Assembly, Dong Nai’s National Assembly Delegation timely reflected on the urgent matters that voters concern themselves with in the forum of National Assembly. All members of the delegation put forward their ideas at the session. There were 32 ideas given in group discussions and in the discussions at the hall. However, inspection work hasn’t been done in some areas and cooperative regulations between Dong Nai’s National Assembly Delegation, People’s Council, People’s Committee and Fatherland Front Committee haven’t been introduced to increase operational efficiency.

    One of the principal tasks that Dong Nai’s National Assembly Delegation has undertaken in the second half of 2009 is to focus on renovating the way it works and listens to voters’ ideas. Particularly, it is necessary to have more meetings with voters in their neighborhood and have a talk with voters about special subjects on the agenda of National Assembly so that voters’ reflections and suggestions will be handled timely. In addition, the delegation will foster its cooperation with the Standing People’s Council, People’s Committee and Dong Nai’s Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee for the purpose of fulfilling its functions and tasks successfully and of improving its operational efficiency.

    Addressing the meeting, Mr. Le Hong Phuong stressed that to promote its roles, the delegation is required to pay a special attention to its renovation work. Particularly, in terms of gathering public opinions on draft bills, it is a requirement to choose matters of great concern and then take them into consideration. It is also a necessity to cooperate closely with concerned departments, sectors and localities before and after having meetings with voters so that their enquiries will be responded, to receive people’s letters of complaint and accusation and to handle them quickly and effectively.
