Mr. Nguyen Sinh Hung: NA Standing Committee discusses reform project

The National Assembly Standing Committee on Monday discussed a project on reforming and improving the efficiency of the law making body’s operation.

The first meeting of the 13th NA Standing Committee

The draft project, designed by the NA Office, covers a wide range of the legislative body’s performance.

Ms. Trương Thị Mai, Head of the NA’s Committee for Social Affairs commented that the project should ensure that the deputies will keep up with the lattest information pertaining to the NA operation and suggested the expansion of interpellation activities during NA’s working sessions.

Sharing the same view, NA Chairman Nguyễn Sinh Hùng noted that immediately in the second working session, the deputies should be updated with information about draft bills to be discussed as two third of the deputies at this legislature are fresh faces.

Meanwhile, Vice State President Nguyễn Thị Doan suggested more time to be given to deputies to question Cabinet members at all plenary sessions in stead of the current limit of seven minutes.

The project is expected to be approved by mid 2012.

The NA’s next working session is scheduled to last 31 days, beginning from October 20, 2011.
