Head of the Department of Government and Youth Affairs Construction, Ho Chi Minh City Department of Home Affairs, Nguyen Hoang Hung, informed the press

At the regular press conference on Ho Chi Minh City’s socio-economic situation on the evening of June 12, Nguyen Hoang Hung, Head of the Department of Government and Youth Affairs Construction, Ho Chi Minh City Department of Home Affairs, said that 102 wards and communes have piloted the two-level local government model.

To ensure smooth operations, the city previously directed departments, branches, and districts, as well as Thu Duc City, to coordinate in implementing scenarios and building hypothetical situations for the new commune-level local government operation.

According to the plan, in Phase 1 (before June 13), the city operated public administrative procedures and services for citizens. In Phase 2 (after June 15), it operated services and tasks related to departments, branches, localities, and citizens. From June 26 to 30, the city will meet to review the experience and deploy it comprehensively. The Department of Home Affairs assessed that thanks to careful preparation, the initial operation went smoothly.

“Basically, the arrangement complies with the Government’s regulations, and the expected average apparatus of each commune-level unit is about 32 officials. The number of commune-level officials after the arrangement does not exceed the total number of district-level and commune-level officials before the arrangement and will gradually decrease over a five-year roadmap,” said Hung.

Regarding personnel work in the two-level government, the representative of the Department of Home Affairs informed that, for the time being, the city transferred 100% of district-level officials to commune-level ones. The leadership and management team of the district-level political system was arranged to be the core force in the new commune-level units. Along with this, it is possible to strengthen officials, civil servants, and public employees from other provinces to work at the commune level, while maintaining the original number of officials.

The Department of Home Affairs is currently advising the City People’s Committee on considering and deciding on the arrangement and placement of officials and the reorganization of new communes according to the management hierarchy.

In terms of policies for officials and civil servants, the city is implementing them according to current decrees.
