He stated that while commune and ward officials directly ensure citizen satisfaction, provincial-level officials now play a key role in Dong Thap's development, both in terms of speed and quality.
"We place high demands on commune and ward officials, so with department and sector-level officials, the requirements must be even higher," the party secretary said. He added that this group needs to continuously innovate their thinking, improve working methods, focus on a constructive and service-oriented mindset, and use work progress and quality as measures of competence.
Mr. Phong emphasized that in this new phase, there's no room for leaders with parochial mindsets, lacking determination, avoiding responsibility, and showing indifference towards residents and businesses. He also stressed the need to avoid being uncritical, resistant to change, failing to encourage creativity, being detached from reality, and not ensuring work progress and quality.
The Dong Thap party secretary also demanded that the restructuring of the administrative apparatus not affect social security policies, public administrative services, land, household registration, education, healthcare, and other areas, ensuring practical benefits for the people.
