The committee’s members presented several models and experiences and, at the same time, proposed coordination between ministries, ministerial-level agencies, government agencies and relevant agencies and organisations in implementing innovation and reorganisation of the Government’s apparatus associated with streamlining payroll, restructuring, improving the quality and effectively using the staff, civil servants and public employees.
Concluding the meeting, PM Chinh, also head of the steering committee, said that innovating and reorganising the apparatus is a crucial, complicated, and sensitive task. He requested that the implementation be unified and urgent with high resolve and in a democratic, scientific, and objective manner.
He asked ministries, sectors, and agencies under the Government to set up steering committees or working groups headed by a head of the units to immediately carry out tasks on the restructuring of the apparatus according to the Central Steering Committee and the Government Steering Committee, develop restructuring plans, define functions, tasks and authority of each ministry, sector and agency.
The PM also asked to review and draft legal documents based on functions, tasks, and authority, paying special attention to arranging personnel and staff-related policies in the restructuring process.
He assigned the Ministry of Home Affairs - the standing agency of the Government Steering Committee- to coordinate with the Government Office to continue to complete the Government's general draft plan; guide ministries, sectors and agencies to review Resolution No. 18-NQ/TW and continue to innovate and reorganise the apparatus of ministries, sectors and agencies under the Government.
The implementation process must not affect work and must be continuous and smooth, ensuring the completion of political tasks, especially for 2024, the 2021-2025 term and Party congresses at all levels towards the 14th National Party Congress.
Regarding the arrangement of State-owned corporations and groups, Chinh also requested to continue building large economic groups while small and specialised enterprises are assigned to ministries and sectors for both State management and owner-representative roles.
