The plenary debate, broadcast live on television, looked into the realisation of
socio-economic development and state budget plans. It was part of the ongoing
seventh session of the 14th NA.
Many citizens said the live broadcasting helped give them a good grasp of the
country’s socio-economic situation. They shared the view that legislators were
direct in discussing pressing issues of public concern.
Nguyen Thai Hoa, a lawyer in Hanoi, said the country’s achievements in 2018 and
this so far year are firstly attributable to the Party’s sustained fight against
corruption, which has helped strengthen discipline and people’s trust in the
Party’s leadership and the Government’s activities.
He added that the fight against corruption, initiated by Party General Secretary
and State President Nguyen Phu Trong, has greatly contributed to the Party’s
rectification and consolidation.
Meanwhile, Dang Tran Hoang Thuy, Director of the Thien Trieu An company based in
Dong Nai province, highlighted businesses and people’s concerns about the recent
petrol and electricity price hikes, noting that such sudden increases of input
costs will considerably influence production and business activities.
He suggested the Government and relevant ministries and sectors make more
suitable and transparent moves so as not to cause further burdens on businesses
and people.
Nguyen Thi Thanh Tam, an employee of the Taekwang Vina company in Dong Nai
province, also asked the Ministry of Industry and Trade to review the
electricity bill calculation method of the Vietnam Electricity group, noting
that although power prices were said to be raised by over 8 percent, electricity
bills of many households have doubled or even risen three-fold.
She expressed her hope for more transparency in power price adjustments and the
monopoly over the power supply to be eliminated.
Tran Thi Ngoc, a resident in Hue city of Thua Thien-Hue province, shared some
lawmakers’ views about the complicated drug crime situation, calling on the
Ministry of Public Security to coordinate more closely with the border guard
force to strictly deal with drug trafficking rings in border areas.–VNA
