Leaders of Quang Ngai and Kon Tum provinces exchanged on the sidelines of the Conference on implementing the Central Government's policy on merging provincial administrative units of Quang Ngai and Kon Tum, which took place on the morning of April 15 at the Kon Plong District Party Committee hall (Kon Tum).

According to the People's Committee of Quang Ngai province, developing a plan to transport officials, civil servants and public employees when traveling for work from Kon Tum to Quang Ngai and vice versa is extremely necessary to ensure safety, efficiency and save time.

Because Quang Ngai and Kon Tum are mountainous areas with limited transportation, if there is no suitable means of transportation, cadres, civil servants and public employees may have difficulty traveling, affecting their health, spirit and work progress. Arranging transportation helps ensure initiative in the schedule, reduce the risk of traffic accidents and raise awareness of organization and labor discipline. At the same time, it shows the government's concern for the lives and welfare of cadres, civil servants and public employees, contributing to improving working spirit and internal cohesion.

Quang Ngai and Kon Tum are mountainous areas with limited transportation. Therefore, arranging vehicles to ensure the travel needs of officials, civil servants and public employees after the arrangement of provincial administrative units is extremely necessary.

According to the plan to transport officials and civil servants to work after the merger of Quang Ngai and Kon Tum provinces (the administrative center is located in Quang Ngai province), it is estimated that there will be about 950 officials, civil servants and public employees, of which about 150 comrades are under the management of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee.

To meet the transportation needs of officials, civil servants and public employees when traveling from Kon Tum to Quang Ngai and vice versa, Quang Ngai province has proposed 3 options. Specifically, option 1: arrange vehicles to operate daily; option 2: arrange vehicles at the beginning and end of the week; option 3: flexibly operate on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays of the week.

Regarding transportation arrangements: 150 comrades under the management of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee will use official vehicles of the agencies and units they manage to pick them up and drop them off according to the standards of their positions that are allowed to use official vehicles as prescribed.

For the remaining 800 civil servants (only 70% of them are expected to travel in a concentrated manner, about 560 people), hire vehicles that meet quality requirements for concentrated transportation according to a specific schedule.

Secretary of Quang Ngai Provincial Party Committee Bui Thi Quynh Van spoke at the Conference on implementing the Central Government's policy on merging provincial administrative units of Quang Ngai and Kon Tum.

According to comrade Bui Thi Quynh Van, member of the Party Central Committee, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Chairwoman of the People's Council of Quang Ngai province, in addition to arranging means of transportation, the Standing Committee of the Quang Ngai Provincial Party Committee has concluded to assign the Party Committee of the Quang Ngai Provincial People's Committee to direct and review facilities, ensure accommodation and meals for officials and Party members of Kon Tum province when they return to the political and administrative center of Quang Ngai province for work as well as take care of the education of children accompanying their parents.

“The Department of Construction and the Department of Finance must immediately determine which headquarters can accommodate officials and party members of Kon Tum province. From there, an accurate report will be made to the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee next week. If any headquarters need to be repaired or upgraded, it must be done immediately and completed before the new province comes into operation on September 1. The Department of Education and Training must calculate the size of schools and classrooms so that the children of officials and party members of Kon Tum province who follow their parents can ensure their education,” noted Comrade Bui Thi Quynh Van.
