PREAMBLE
1. Urgency of the subject
Vietnam is on the path of building a SOC rule of law state of the
people, by the people, for the people, and building SOC democracy. It
should also be spread into a democracy movement in Vietnam.
SAA is a facility where democratic activities take place. In the
SAA, the people who implement the law on GD are all subjects, from
managing subjects to cadres, civil servants and workers. Each subject has
rights and obligations corresponding to its position and role. In the SAA,
the effective implementation of the law on GD can create a democratic
working environment, promote the strength of workers, unite all people in
the agency; against the situation of "lack of democracy", "antidemocracy", abuse of power and imposition of some individuals
(especially individuals holding important positions in the agency);
restricting the status of group benefits and faction in the agency; is the
basis for building "service administration", providing the best public
services for people. A SAA without democracy in organization and
operation will be an environment to nurture "revolutionary officials",
corruption, bureaucracy ...
In recent years, the SAA in general and the SAA in Thai Nguyen

province in particular have paid attention and focused on the
implementation of the law on GD in the agencies. Many administrative
offices have created an open, democratic environment, creating motivation
for CCS to maximize their capabilities and increasingly attach to the
agency. However, the reality shows that there are still many problems and
limitations for the implementation the law on GD in general and in the
SAA in particular. There are still many undemocratic manifestations in the
system of SAA, affecting the building of a democratic environment in
agencies.

Speeding up the implementation of the law on GD in the SAA in

agency. The expansion of democracy will not only contribute to building a
stronger SAA but also help CCS be promoted their ability, intelligence
and strength to devote to the work.

CCS conference as prescribed. Many agencies have actively and publicly
made information related to organizational structure, staff organization,

and staff work. The activities of the people's inspection board in the SAA
continued to make more changes; fulfilling the supervisory role to
contribute to strengthening and promoting the implementation of
democracy in agencies. Accountability within the SAA is implemented in
accordance with the law. The administrative reform, civil service regime
reform continue to be promoted by the SAA in the province. The reception
of

people,

the

settlement

of

complaints,

denunciations

and

recommendations of CCS: continued to have positive changes.
Results of the implementation of the law on GD in relation to
related agencies, organizations and individuals: The SAA in the province
have strictly implemented the public posting of information, ensuring the
right to be discussed, be contributed opinions of people; actively deploying
the direct contact and dialogue of the heads of party committees and
administrations at all levels with the people; promote settlement of
complaints and denunciations; actively implement accountability. All SAA

3.3.2. Restrictions in the implementation of the law on grassroots
democracy in state administrative agencies in Thai Nguyen province
17


- Restrictions in the implementation of the law on grassroots
democracy in the state administrative agencies of Thai Nguyen province
The implementation of the law on GD within the SAA of Thai
Nguyen province still has the following limitations: The quality of the
majority of conferences is unsatisfactory and formal. Activities of People's
Inspection Boards in some agencies have not fully promoted their roles
and responsibilities, effectiveness is still low. The promulgation and
concretization of tasks and solutions in implementing regulations and
guidance on the implementation of the law on GD of some agencies are
limited, not timely, asynchronous. The handling of complaints and
denunciations is still a long-term case. A part of CCS showed signs of
democratic violations, irresponsibility in dealing with cases involving
CCS, thus reducing the confidence of CCS and people.
The implementation of the law on GD in the relationship between
the SAA and other individuals and organizations also has some basic
limitations: Some of the SAA still have the form, the state of losing
democracy, violating the people's ownership, disrespecting the people.
The publicity of programs, schemes, projects, planning, land use plans ...

in some localities, units has not been strictly implemented, not in
compliance with the regulations. Some SAA also have cumbersome and
troublesome administrative procedures. The effectiveness of the
implementation of accountability of the SAA through the mechanism of
accountability inspection has not been well implemented ...
-

Cause

of

the

restrictions:

Awareness

of

democracy,

implementation of law on GD in the SAA in some CCS is limited.
Psychology of fear of collision, obedience habits of CCS; The direction
and organization of implementation in some SAA are still not good;
Information and propaganda about policies and laws on GD has many

18


limitations; The lack of drastic and coordinated activities among political

and socio-political organizations in implementing the law on GD.
