In the Municipal Party Committee Conference Room of Luzhuang City, Jiangnan Province, the first Standing Committee Meeting was held here after the first lunar month. 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, he still was the deputy mayor of Luzhuang. Regarding this appointment, the entire Luzhuang officialdom, whether he likes Chen Ping or hates Chen Ping, not only did they not have any objections to the newly joined young Standing Committee member, but they were relieved. For them, although Chen Ping is still young, compared to the strange state that he was not a member of the Standing Committee but was better than the Standing Committee member, the officials of Luzhuang would rather Chen Ping be a member of the Standing Committee, so that at least he could accept it.

Chen Ping's ranking in the Standing Committee is at the last place in terms of qualifications, but everyone understands that with the support of Xiao Shufei, the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, and the extraordinary speech delivered by the General Secretary at his wedding and the departments he has in his own hands, his actual ranking is at least in the top five. Now that he is put at the last, I guess I don't want his light to be so dazzling.

After the routine name, Xiao Shufei first said: "Comrades are in the meeting now. I believe everyone has already obtained the materials distributed by the Municipal Party Committee Office. This is the research report obtained by the Municipal Party Committee's investigation team on various economic levels of our Luzhuang around the Spring Festival. The report said that the people have great opinions on our party and government organs, and the core is concentrated in several aspects. The main reason is that our administrative procedures are too complicated and complicated, our administrative personnel are inefficient, or some of our cadres use the power in their hands as bargaining chips to seek rent for their own interests."

"Comrades, at the Central Party Congress that ended not long before the Spring Festival, it was clearly required that all localities should carry out administrative system reform. Now, some problems in our administrative management have seriously affected the sustainable development of the economy, making administrative system reform imminent," said Xiao Shufei. "The main topic of our Standing Committee meeting today is about administrative system reform. Please speak freely."

After Xiao Shufei finished speaking, the standing committee members at the scene did not respond at all, just as the topic Xiao Shufei just mentioned had nothing to do with them.

This situation made Chen Ping frown because this phenomenon is very unusual. With Xiao Shufei's prestige in Luzhuang now, no matter how bad the topic she raised, the members of the Standing Committee below would at least agree, but there had never been such a cold situation like this.

This administrative system reform is worthy of being a deep water area of ​​reform. It seems that these people should have felt from some channel or themselves that this time Concubine Xiao is going to take serious action.

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."

Concubine Xiao nodded in agreement, but in fact, Concubine Xiao did not want Chen Ping to stand up and express his opinion so early. After all, this is the first time he has attended a Standing Committee meeting as a member of the Standing Committee. It would be better to be low-key, but with the current situation, there is nothing to do.

After obtaining Xiao Shufei's approval, Chen Ping slowly said: "Secretary Xiao, comrades, I have also participated in the Municipal Party Committee's investigation around the Spring Festival. Judging from what I have observed, I think our current administrative management system is problematic and cannot keep up with the current needs of economic and social development, and it is urgently needed to change."

Although all those who attended the Standing Committee meeting except Xiao Shufei were middle-aged people who were at least ten years old, Chen Ping was not frightened and talked freely: "In fact, as early as a few years ago, the central government had issued a document requiring local governments to transform government functions and truly establish a service-oriented government. Now, if we want to promote the comprehensive development of county economy in our Luzhuang, we must complete the transformation of government functions in the fundamental sense. If the departmental system is not supported and administration according to law is not implemented, then the reform and development environment will always be empty talk!"

"After visits and investigations around the Spring Festival, I think we currently have three main problems." Chen Ping said, "First of all, government and enterprise are not distinguished and centralized approval."

"For many of our departmental comrades, there is always a concept of management that is to approve and value power over responsibility. Once problems arise, they require increasing approval efforts and increasing approval matters, and even overreach the situation, taking over all the things that should be regulated and managed by the market, enterprises and society, and believing that the more you manage, the more you do, the greater your ability, the stronger your ability. This way of handling is not only backward, but also easily breeds more serious problems such as undercover operations and using power for personal gain."

Chen Ping said: "In addition, due to the excessive and excessive administrative approval matters of our government agencies, it not only causes mutual ruling, procrastination, and inefficiency between departments. It is often a very simple problem that can be reversed back and forth between two or more departments. This approach directly affects some of the fundamental role of the market in resource allocation, not only seriously interferes with the independent operation of enterprises, but also becomes a breeding ground for corruption."

"The second is that the system is not up to the right and the power is set up," said Chen Ping. "Many of our administrative and institutional charges lack the necessary regulatory measures, which has led to some departments holding great power and spared no effort to obtain the right to approve fees under the driving force of interests. This not only does the phenomenon of random charges, random fines and random levies continue to be banned, but there is even a deliberate increase in thresholds and increased service links, and in the name of strengthening management, the reality of charging for profit."

"According to the situation I have investigated, driven by interests, many functional departments competed with each other and refused to give in, resulting in multiple management and repeated charges. Some departments even set up charging items without authorization to raise charging standards, which is obviously contrary to the central and provincial party committees have always advocated to reduce the burden on enterprises and farmers." Chen Ping said.

"In the end, the law enforcement is not strictly enforced and the power to intervene," said Chen Ping. "Originally, the main function of our administrative agencies and law enforcement departments is to be a good referee in society and the market. We should focus on maintaining social justice, ensuring economic order and implementing fair competition. However, the reality is that many of our government departments simply cannot meet the requirements of the market and society."
