Nearly 98% of 2,289 petitions of voters sent to the 7th sitting of the 15th parliament have been handled so far, Chairman of the National Assembly (NA) Standing Committee’s Ombudsman Board Duong Thanh Binh said on October 21.

National Assembly Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue on May 17 ordered the stepping up of ombudsman work, saying that the NA Standing Committee’s Ombudsman Board should improve the quality of its supervision and consultation efforts.

Officials in charge of ombudsman work should precisely and quickly reflect voters’ aspirations and pressing issues, while further improving their supervision over the settlement of lodged petitions and denunciations in 2019
