On behalf of the People’s Committee, Mr. Nguyen Cong Chanh outlined the responsibilities of the seconded officers, urging them to leverage their expertise, enhance accountability in public service, and provide professional support. He emphasized close collaboration with the ward’s specialized departments to improve local governance effectiveness. Mr. Chanh highlighted that the secondment reflects a proactive and innovative approach to personnel management, meeting the demands of the new phase.
Representing the seconded team, Mr. Phan Minh Tien pledged to fulfill their duties with dedication, unity, and creativity, aiming to strengthen coordination between the Department of Construction and local authorities in managing construction order, addressing violations, and maintaining urban order within the ward.
The ceremony concluded with an agreed roadmap for professional coordination and knowledge exchange between the seconded team and the ward’s functional departments, ensuring immediate and effective implementation at the grassroots level.
As previously reported by Nguoi Lao Dong Newspaper, Ho Chi Minh City is deploying seconded officers from the Department of Specialized Inspection under the Department of Construction to communes, wards, and special zones to enhance urban and construction order management. The Office of the City People’s Committee is tasked with finalizing the decentralization and coordination regulations by November 2025.
The Director of the Department of Construction will collaborate with local People’s Committee chairpersons to identify needs, assign workspaces, and delegate specific tasks to seconded officers. The Department will also intensify inspections and professional guidance, while localities not accepting secondees will be fully accountable for construction order management.
