Building a National Assembly of the people
15/3/16
Vietnamese National Assembly
It has been 70 years since the first
general election of Vietnam
that was held successfully on January 6th 1946. 70 years are also
the process of establishment and development of the National Assembly with much
of efforts and achievement.
Firstly, we easily realize that our
National Assembly is working more efficiently and practically. This has made
national policies been checked more carefully, deliberately and objectively. On
the other hand, it also made the liability clearer in the State system.
As a representative body for all classes
of people, the National Assembly is a crucial tool to ensure the social balance
and precisely identify the effect of the policies to the society. In fact, this
associates functions of representing, legislation and making national important
decisions of the National Assembly. In recent times, the Vietnam National
Assembly has ensured well this association.
In the modern management of a country,
the liability is one the most important demand. Through increasing the
surveillance activities, especially the enquiry, the National Assembly is
making clear a lot of important contents that related to the liability. The
first content is the power implementation of the officials who have been assigned
power and the second content is the credit of the officials. Secondly, the
strengthening of legislation is an achievement that must be recognized. In
recent times, a large amount of legal documents shaping the law frame of market
economy and international integration have been approved by the National
Assembly.
However, the reform is not only shown in
the quantity, but also in the quality. The quality is ensured due to partly by
hearing and selectively absorbing the people's opinion in the legislative
process. The consideration and adoption of the Law on Enterprises, the Law on
Investment in this term are the typical examples. It has never been more active
in interaction between the people and businesses with the offices and members
of the national assembly.
Thirdly, the democracy has been enhanced
in the National Assembly’s activities. In the past, the representatives only
red speeches but now they have debated actively about all range of issues. Such
debates have made the National Assembly’s activities more vivid and attractive
to the public.
The achievements of the National
Assembly are enormous but challenges in the new period are also not easy.
The representative ability for the
people is one of the most difficult challenges of the National Assembly. The
market and multi-sector economy has gradually been strengthened and expanded, a
lot of big changes have been happening in the society. These changes are
required to be reflected in the political life and policies. The representative
offices, especially the National Assembly, must play the important role in this
issue.
Besides, the interest confrontation
occurs when the representatives of provinces want to enquire the Ministers. The
provinces won’t let the representatives destroy the good relations with the
Ministers and projects of the provinces that had been signed by the Ministers.
Another challenge is the professionalism
of the National Assembly. A professional Parliament must have professional
members, the people representatives. Being professional, the representatives must
have enough time to fully implement their functions. Our Parliament has just
nearly 30% full-time members. The full-time function and professionalism are very
different. However, not being full-time means not having enough time and
conditions to enrich the experience to be professional.
The renewal of the organization and the operation
of the Parliament must obey a common movement of ensuring democracy. Therefore,
the representative function for the people is always the most basic and
decisive issue./.

The NA created a firm legal foundation for the building of a law-governed Vietnamese state of the people, by the people, and for the people
The representatives must have enough time and ability to solve the problems that concern the people's life.
The representatives must be professional in their political job, deserving with the hope and trust of the people.
I want to be a member of the NA, to contribute to build a NA of the people.
Over the past 70 years, the Vietnam National Assembly has contributed significantly to national liberation, reunification, construction and defense.
