Vietnam’s government should not intervene deeply in organization and activities of civil society organizations (CSOs), said a number of members of the country’s legislative body National Assembly (NA).
Speaking at a parliament’s discussion on the draft Law of Associations earlier this week as part of the ongoing session of the NA, Mr. Nguyen Van Rinh from the northern province of Hai Duong said the draft law consists of a number of complicated regulations for CSOs’ organization.
Most CSOs are operating with their own funding so the state should not regulate their organizational matters, he said.
He questioned the validity of a requirement of the draft which stipulates that the working regulations of CSOs are approved by a deputy minister of Home Affairs.
Legislator Le Dinh Khanh, also from Hai Duong said it is not wisely the government to intervene deeply in CSOs’ operation, including financial matters. According to the draft, all CSOs must submit financial reports to the provincial chairman of the People’s Committees. The provincial leaders have no time for reviewing their reports, he claimed.
Na’s Deputy Chairman of the National Assembly Committee for Culture, Education, Youth and Children Le Nhu Tien said Vietnam should not turn CSOs into state administrative bodies. Currently, many CSOs are funded by the state budget while their leaders are retired state officials.
CSOs must operate with their funding, Mr. Tien said.
Mr. Nguyen Anh Son from Nam Dinh said Vietnam has 9,000 CSOs from central to grassroots levels with 7,400 staff, and their operations are financed by the state budget.
Meanwhile, Vietnam has around 60 independent CSOs which Minister of Public Security General Tran Dai Quang labels as “reactionary groups”.
