Fatherland Front to oversee relief package implementation

Earlier this month, the government approved Resolution 42 on a VND62 trillion (over US$2.6 billion) package to help those who lost their jobs and income due to the coronavirus.

According to the VFF, it will oversee the compilation of lists of relief recipients under Resolution 42 along with the publication of such lists at the headquarters of local governments.

Speaking at a conference on April 27, VFF President Tran Thanh Man asked local VFF chapters to work closely with other agencies to ensure the package recipients are determined in a strict and accurate manner right from the beginning.

He called for the recipients’ names, addresses and relief amounts to be publicised through the mass media, such as television, radio and newspaper, while recipient lists must be placed at convenient locations for the public to see.

Contacts of supervising authorities must also be provided so that the public can promptly report any irregularities.
