The NA leader made the direction on October 11 during the 16th session of the NA Standing Committee, when the committee considered the Government’s report on the implementation of the programme.

He said the programme is lagging behind schedule and requirements. So far only 7% of capital allocated to the programme has been disbursed.

NA chairman Vuong Dinh Hue asked the Government to accelerate the pace of implementation, adding that the NA’s Ethnic Council will intensify supervision of the programme.

Chairman of the NA Ethnic Council Y Thanh Ha Nie Kdam said one year after the Government approved the programme, the promulgation of regulations on mechanisms for its implementation has been basically completed, but the pace of implementation is slow.
