On behalf of the ward’s People’s Committee, Mr. Nguyen Cong Chanh assigned tasks to the seconded civil servants, urging them to maximize their capabilities and enhance their sense of responsibility in public service. He also emphasized the importance of close collaboration with the ward’s specialized departments to improve state management efficiency at the local level. Mr. Chanh highlighted that the deployment of seconded officials demonstrates a proactive and innovative approach in personnel organization, meeting the demands of the new phase.
Representing the seconded team, Mr. Phan Minh Tien pledged to fulfill their duties with responsibility, unity, and creativity. He committed to strengthening collaboration 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 agreement on a coordinated roadmap and professional exchanges between the seconded team and the ward’s functional departments to ensure immediate and effective operations at the grassroots level.
As previously reported by Nguoi Lao Dong Newspaper, Ho Chi Minh City is deploying seconded civil servants 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 determine needs, assign workplaces, and specify tasks for seconded officials. The Department will also intensify inspections and professional guidance, while localities not accepting seconded officials will be fully responsible for construction order management.
