HCM City Chairman directs research on two-tiered local government model
Two Main Proposed Plans:
Plan 1: Continuing the “City-within-a-City” Model
This plan maintains the existing structure, with Thu Đức remaining a separate city. A new central city will be established, encompassing 17 districts. Each ward in Thu Đức and each district within the central city will serve as administrative centers, staffed with specialized civil servants to handle local administrative issues. The remaining five districts will be divided into communes, wards, and towns based on area, population, and infrastructure.
Plan 2: Implementing the Commune-Level Model per Central Conclusion 127
This plan restructures the city based on area, population, and infrastructure, establishing wards, and towns. This model is based on Central Conclusion 127.
Responsibilities of the Ministry of Home Affairs:
The Ministry of Home Affairs is tasked with leading and coordinating the assignment of highly qualified civil servants to research and develop a suitable two-tiered local government model. This model must be efficient and meet practical needs.
Implementation Timeline:
The plan must be presented to the Standing Committee of the HCM City People’s Committee at the next meeting and then reported to the HCM City Party Committee.
Updates from the Central Government:
The Central Steering Committee for restructuring the political system’s organizational structure has issued a plan for continued reorganization. According to this plan, the Standing Committee of the National Assembly must approve a resolution on restructuring commune-level administrative units by June 30th, and the National Assembly will approve a resolution on merging provincial administrative units.
Conclusion:
Researching the two-tiered local government model in HCM City is a crucial step towards improving administrative efficiency and enhancing citizen services. The involvement of experts and the incorporation of central government experience will ensure the most optimal plan is chosen.
