The lesson of respecting and listening to the public
13/4/15
Recently, people and businesses all
have concurred and encouraged when the leaders of the Party, State and many
ministries, departments and local levels actively diversified methods of
contact, maintained hotline, organized formal dialogue regularly and
frequently, directly listen, timely explained and feedbacked to the public
opinion.
Ministry of Finance acquired more
appropriate recommendations, drastically reformed tax and customs
administration in order to shorten the time for tax payment and customs
clearance of companies. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development,
Industry and Trade, Planning and Investment have made efforts to review and
shorten the list of “sublicense”, creating a healthy environment and
well-ventilated for business. Ministry of Science and Technology has listened
to the recommendations of enterprises and promptly modified the conditions for
importing used machinery and equipment which was highly appreciated by many
companies. Ministry of Communication and Transportation drastically reformed
the railways, roads, aviation. The other ministries also considered listening
to the people and businesses as an essential tasks in their operations. The
provinces of Quang Ninh, Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, Da Nang
and many locals always appoint the highest leaders in the direct dialogue with
businesses and citizens. In particular, the Government is promoting the
construction of consultation process under the principle of WTO’s openness and
transparency in the formulation of policies and laws, which will be issued in
2016.
The innovated spirit in awareness, thinking
for business community and citizens; enhancement of coordination among
government agencies; standardization, public and transparent rules and procedures
for comments, feedback have been creating new motivation for enhancing reality,
confidence for consumer and social consensus; improving the capacity,
effectiveness and efficiency of state management and quality of both macro and
micro economic development.
That explains why the plan to replace
the thousands of trees in Hanoi
is becoming hot event among public concern. People do not oppose the replacement
of dangerous and inappropriate trees towards a green, clean beautiful and civilized capital.
But people reacted because their legitimate right to approach information has
not been respected and they feared a number of issues have not yet been
explained thoroughly and transparently.
With spirituality, leaders listened, halted
the project and formed a working group to review responsibility and
comprehensive inspection of replacement trees on some routes in the city. Some
local leaders and officers at
construction department were temporarily suspended to learn from experience
about the above matter and consult with
people and scientists about the guidelines, the best decision to bring the best
interests for people in solving problems related to community and society. This
unfortunate incident would not happen if involved agencies and individuals
strictly followed state regulations and ensured the quality of information,
communication and related accountability ...
The lesson to ensure the right of
approaching information, listening and respecting the public will always be a
hot issue for the state management agencies.
