Full-time National Assembly (NA) deputies convened a three-day meetingin Hanoi to scrutinise important draft laws scheduled to be addressed atthe parliament’s ninth session in late May.
NAChairman Nguyen Sinh Hung said draft laws open for discussion are majorbills critical to the NA’s law-making activities at the upcoming ninthsession.
He asked the full-time members, which nowaccount for 28 percent of the total 500 NA deputies, to carefullyconsider and give multifaceted opinions on the draft laws.
During the first working day on April 15, deputies mulled over thedebatable contents of the draft law on legal document issuance, whichwas also appraised at the NA’s eighth session in late 2014 and therecent meeting of the NA Standing Committee.
TheStanding Committee said it is necessary to give district authorities theright to issue legal documents to ensure these documents match localconditions. The bill must clearly stipulate issuance processes tominimise the current inefficiency of a number of district-level legaldocuments.
Members of the Committee suggested theright to promulgate legal documents not be given to grassroots communalauthorities already in charge of implementing legal documents. Theyunderscored many communal documents are either replicates of alreadyexisting documents or are not in accordance with those of upperagencies.
Some argued that communal authorities areState managerial agencies at the grassroots level and have thecompetence to issue legal documents. Rather, current shortcomings areascribable to officials’ limited capacity.
Severalfull-time members said this issue needs thorough consideration to avoidobstacles in performing the duties of communal authorities. The NAshould seek solutions to low quality legal documents instead of revokinglocal administrations’ rights.-VNA
