At the meeting, leaders of the People's Committees of communes and wards reported that after nearly 1.5 months of operation, the project has basically met and served the people's needs. However, some communes and wards still face difficulties in handling administrative procedures, especially procedures related to people's land. Some communes and wards have only 1 surveyor but each day have to receive 10-15 records related to surveying and issuing certificates to people. Some communes have received more than 2,000 records in the past 1.5 months, of which more than 1,000 records are related to land procedures, many officers are overloaded...

According to Mr. Ngo Thai Chan, Director of the Department of Agriculture and Environment of Can Tho City, the department has recently sent 103 officials to support communes and wards to resolve land-related procedures for people. In the near future, more specialized officials will be transferred to communes and wards with a sudden increase in land-related records. Regarding the 2,000 overdue land records, the reason is that connecting data from previous localities was difficult. However, the Department of Agriculture and Environment of Can Tho City committed to completely handling them by August 25, 2025.

In his concluding remarks, Chairman of Can Tho City People's Committee Tran Van Lau acknowledged and commended the efforts of the communes and wards in working with great spirit to serve the people well. At the same time, he requested the relevant departments and branches to receive the recommendations of the communes and wards to promptly propose solutions to overcome difficulties.

Referring to the tasks in the coming time, the Chairman of the People's Committee of Can Tho City emphasized: Communes and wards need to stabilize the apparatus, perfect the personnel to operate the local government well. In particular, focus on improving the skills of professional departments, and solve administrative procedures well for people and businesses. This is an important and consistent goal of the Public Administration Service Centers.
