  • The committee acknowledges achievements of People's Councils but points out limitations in leadership, supervision quality, and coordination.
  • For the 2026-2031 term, People's Councils must enhance policy-making, supervision, and responsiveness to new challenges.

Vietnam's Standing Committee of the Secretariat, represented by Trแบงn Cแบฉm Tรบ, has called for enhanced oversight and control to combat abuses of power in public service. Speaking at a national conference on May 28, Tรบ acknowledged the successes of People's Councils in the past term but also highlighted existing shortcomings.

He pointed to insufficient leadership from Party committees in some areas, inconsistent quality and effectiveness of supervisory activities across different levels and localities, and a lack of decisive follow-up on recommendations made after supervision. Weak and uncoordinated collaboration was also noted as an issue.

We must strengthen leadership of inspection and supervision of the implementation of resolutions of the People's Councils, promptly detect and correct manifestations of formalism, perfunctoriness, leniency, evasion of responsibility, or bureaucracy, detachment from reality...

โ€” Trแบงn Cแบฉm TรบHighlighting the need to correct shortcomings in the implementation of resolutions.

Looking ahead to the 2026-2031 term, which is crucial for the nation's development and achieving strategic goals, Tรบ stressed that People's Councils face higher demands. They must improve their capacity for policy-making, supervision, and responsiveness to emerging issues, while also supporting local governments in addressing practical challenges.

Tรบ emphasized the need for stronger Party leadership over local governance and the importance of ensuring all significant local resolutions align with Party guidelines, are practical, and feasible. He also called for increased inspection and supervision of the implementation of these resolutions, urging the swift identification and correction of superficiality, leniency, evasion of responsibility, or detachment from reality. The committee also stressed the role of People's Councils in controlling power at the local level, especially with increased decentralization, to prevent and address the misuse of authority in public duties.

This must be an immutable principle in building a socialist rule-of-law state.
