The draft law presented to the NA this time has been adjusted based on previous discussions.

NA deputies focused their attention on the issue of “talented persons” in public duty in the Law on Cadres and Civil Servants, saying that the stipulations on this issue are not clear and concrete enough for application in reality. Other issues of interests are the classification and evaluation of civil servants, grades of civil servants, methods to recruit civil servants, and disciplinary measures against those who have quitted work or retired.

Regarding amendments to the Law on Public Employees, the opinions centred around the recruit and contracts of newly-recruited public employees, and the prescription of discipline.

Concluding the discussion, NA Vice Chairman Uong Chu Luu said the draft law institutionalizes the requirements set in the Party’s documents to build a contingent of qualified and capable cadres, civil servants and public employees. The NA Standing Committee will further perfect the draft law before submitting it to the NA for approval.

In the afternoon, the NA listened to the Government’s feasibility report on the Long Thanh international airport-phase one and the NA Economic Committee’s verification report.

Minister of Planning and Investment Nguyen Chi Dung also presented to the NA a proposal on the intention to invest in a reservoir named Ke Pet in Ham Thuan Nam district, the south central province of Binh Thuan.

NA deputies then discussed the two investment projects in groups.

On October 25, the NA are scheduled to examine the draft law amending and supplementing a number of articles of the Law on Organisation of the Government and the Law on Organisation of Local Governments, and the draft law amending and supplementing a number of articles of the Law on State Audit.
