Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has requested comprehensive reports on delayed investment projects and those with challenges in order to take measures to remove the bottlenecks for immediate implementation.
In Official Telegram 13/CD-TTg dated February 8, 2025 sent to ministers, heads of ministerial-level and government-attached agencies, and chairpersons of provincial-level People’s Committees, the Premier highlighted the lackluster response to earlier reporting mandates, saying that only 33 localities and nine ministries and central agencies submitted their reports to the Ministry of Planning and Investment as of February 7, well past the January 20 deadline.
The PM asked the remaining 30 localities and ministries to submit detailed accountability reports by February 17, along with those reviewing the performances of state-owned corporations and groups by February 15.
Agencies failing to submit reports by February 15 will face investigation by the Government Inspectorate under the guidance of the Central Steering Committee for Prevention and Control of Corruption and Negative Phenomena, he added.
