In the municipal party committee conference room of Luzhuang City, Jiangnan Province, the first standing committee meeting after the first month was held here. The meeting was chaired by Xiao Shufei, secretary of the municipal party committee. All Luzhuang City Standing Committee members, including Chen Ping, attended the meeting.
Chen Ping was appointed as a member of the Standing Committee of the Luzhuang Municipal Party Committee a week ago. As for the position, there has been no adjustment. He is still the deputy mayor of Luzhuang. Regarding this appointment, the entire Luzhuang officialdom, whether those who like Chen Ping or those who hate Chen Ping, , not only did they not have any objections to this new young member of the Standing Committee, but they all breathed a sigh of relief. For them, although Chen Ping is still young, compared to the previous weird situation where he was not a member of the Standing Committee but was better than a member of the Standing Committee, the officials of Luzhuang would rather Chen Ping was a member of the Standing Committee, so that they could at least accept it in their hearts.
Chen Ping is ranked last in the Standing Committee in terms of seniority, but everyone understands that with the support of Municipal Party Committee Secretary Xiao Shufei, the extraordinary speech delivered by the General Secretary at his wedding, and his own control In this department, his actual ranking is at least in the top five. Now putting him last is probably because he doesn't want his light to be so dazzling.
After the routine roll call, Xiao Shufei first said: "Comrades are meeting now. I believe that everyone has received the materials distributed by the Municipal Party Committee Office. This is the investigation team of the Municipal Party Committee on various economic levels of our Luzhuang before and after the Spring Festival. The survey report obtained from the visit stated that the people have great opinions on our party and government agencies, and the core focus is on several aspects. The main reasons are that our administrative procedures are too cumbersome and complicated, our administrative personnel are inefficient, or our Some cadres use the power in their hands as a bargaining chip to pursue power rent-seeking for their own interests."
"Comrades, at the Central Party Congress that ended not long before the Spring Festival, we have clearly requested that all regions carry out administrative system reforms. Now due to some problems in our administrative management, we have seriously affected the sustainable development of the economy, making Administrative system reform is imminent," Xiao Shufei said. "The main topic of our Standing Committee meeting today is about administrative system reform. Please speak freely."
After Xiao Shufei finished speaking, none of the standing committee members at the scene had any reaction, as if the issue Xiao Shufei just mentioned had nothing to do with them.
This situation made Chen Ping frown, because this phenomenon was very unusual. With Xiao Shufei's current prestige in Luzhuang, no matter how bad the issue she raised was, the standing committee members below would at least agree with it, but they never did. There has been such a cold situation.
This administrative system reform is indeed a deep-water area of ??reform. It seems that these people must have felt it through some channels or themselves. This time Xiao Shufei is going to take it seriously.
But fortunately, I am now a member of the Standing Committee.
So Chen Ping raised his hand and said: "Secretary Xiao, comrades, let me say a few words."
Xiao Shufei nodded in agreement, but in fact Xiao Shufei did not want Chen Ping to stand up and express his opinion so early. After all, this was his first time to participate in the Standing Committee meeting as a member of the Standing Committee. It would be better to keep a low profile, but under the current situation, it doesn't matter. There's a solution.
After getting Xiao Shufei's consent, Chen Pingcai slowly said: "Secretary Xiao, fellow comrades, I also participated in the municipal party committee's investigation before and after the Spring Festival. From what I observed, I think there are problems with our current administrative system. It can no longer keep up with the needs of current economic and social development, and is in urgent need of change."
Although the attendees of the Standing Committee meeting, except for Concubine Xiao Shu, were all middle-aged people who were at least ten years older than Chen Ping, Chen Ping was not stage frightened and talked eloquently: "In fact, the central government had issued a document a few years ago. Local governments are required to transform government functions and truly establish a service-oriented government. Now, if we want to promote the comprehensive development of the county economy in Luzhuang, we must complete the transformation of government functions in a fundamental sense. If the departmental system is not matching, If administration according to law is not implemented, reform and development of the environment will always be empty talk!"
"After visits and surveys before and after the Spring Festival, I think we currently have three main problems." Chen Ping said, "The first is the lack of separation between government and enterprises and centralized approval."
"For many of our department comrades, there is always a concept that management is all about approval and focusing on power over responsibility. Once problems arise, they are required to increase the intensity of approval and increase the number of approval items. There are even cases of overstepping and replacing what should be done by others. The phenomenon of taking over all the regulation and management of the market, enterprises and society. They think that the more they manage, the more they do, and it seems that their abilities are greater and stronger. This way of handling is not only backward in concept, but also easily breeds secrets. Operations and influence-peddling are more serious issues.¡±
Chen Ping said: ¡°In addition, due to the excessive number of administrative approval items in our government agencies, it not only leads to mutual pushback, wrangling and low efficiency among departments, but often a very simple problem?, you can move back and forth between two or more departments. Such an approach directly affects some of the fundamental functions of the market in allocating resources. It not only seriously interferes with the independent operation of enterprises, but also easily becomes a breeding ground for corruption. "
¡°Secondly, the system does not comply with the establishment of matters based on power,¡± Chen Ping said. ¡°Many of our administrative charges lack necessary regulatory measures, resulting in some departments having great power and sparing no effort to obtain the right to approve charges driven by interests. "In this way, not only are arbitrary fees, fines and apportionments repeatedly prohibited, but there are even deliberate attempts to increase thresholds, increase service links, and charge fees to make profits in the name of strengthening management."
"From what I have investigated, driven by interests, many cross-functional departments compete with each other, resulting in duplicate charges for multiple management. Some departments even set up charging items without authorization and raised charging standards. This is obviously contrary to what the central and provincial committees have always advocated to reduce the burden on enterprises and farmers," Chen Ping said.
¡°The last thing is the lack of strict enforcement of law and power interference,¡± Chen Ping said. ¡°Originally, the main function of our administrative agencies and law enforcement departments is to be good referees in society and the market. They should focus on maintaining social justice, ensuring economic order and In terms of fair competition, the reality is that many of our government departments simply cannot meet the requirements of the market and society."
¡°The thinking of many of our cadres is still not integrated into the market economy and they cannot find their own position. From market access to resource allocation, our government cadres are too involved in economic affairs. In addition, due to the administrative law enforcement system and supervision constraints, The mechanism is not standardized enough, and there are various behaviors that are obviously contrary to the laws of market economy. These are all problems that we in Luzhuang must clear up before establishing a county economic circle!" Chen Ping said impassionedly.
