Hanoi (VNA) – Up to 2,589 out of the 2,593 petitions of voters sent to the fourth sitting of the 15th National Assembly (99.8%) have been handled, according to a report on supervisionresults of the settlement of petitions presented at the legislature’songoing fifth session in Hanoi on May 22.

Among the petitions, the NA and its agencies cleared up all ofthe 91 petitions addressed to them, while the government, ministries and centrally-run agenciesresponded to 2,466 out of the 2,469 petitions meant for them, and the Supreme People’s Court andthe Supreme People’s Procuracy addressed all of the 20 petitions in their realms.

Voters lauded the legislative body’s strong,comprehensive operational reform which they said has been conducted in an increasingly democratic, public and transparent fashion.

The report noted that the settlement of voters' petitions by thegovernment, ministries and centrally-run agencies has contributed to removingobstacles to socio-economic development, ensuring social order and safety,improving people’s living standards and raising public confidence.

However, Chairman of the NA Standing Committee’s Ombudsman Commission Duong Thanh Binh, who presented the report, said the collection and summarisation of voters' petitions and opinions has failed tomeet the deadline as stipulated by the law.

He added that even when ministries and centrally-run agencies have taken measures to address problems raised by voters, the progress in settlement is slow, causing upset among voters and further complaints.

Notably, some legal regulations which were approvedby the legislature in its previous tenure have not been enforced yetas some ministries are sluggish in issuing guidance documents.

Chairman Binh urged NA agencies to further enhance supervisions over the issuance of legal regulations, and NAdeputy delegations to improve the quality of petition collection, classification andsettlement./.
