In 2026, the Government aims for double-digit growth; therefore, disbursing public investment capital is identified as one of the particularly important tasks, creating momentum for economic growth. To strive to achieve the targets for disbursing public investment capital from the state budget in 2025 and 2026 assigned by the Prime Minister, the Chairman of the People's Committee of Son La province issued Official Letter No. 362 dated January 19, 2026, on promoting public investment in 2025 and 2026. Accordingly, the Chairman of the People's Committee directed relevant departments and localities to uphold their responsibilities, focus on leadership and direction, and decisively, flexibly, and effectively implement tasks and solutions regarding the disbursement of public investment capital.
"Don't say no, don't say it's difficult, don't say yes and not do it."
The Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee requested that all levels and sectors continue to thoroughly and effectively implement the Resolutions and Conclusions of the National Assembly and the Government, as well as the directives of the Prime Minister, the Provincial Party Committee, the Provincial People's Committee, and the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee, regarding the acceleration of public investment disbursement with higher political determination; accelerating the disbursement of public investment must go hand in hand with ensuring the quality of projects, labor safety, and combating corruption, negative practices, losses, and waste. Leadership and direction must demonstrate high determination, great effort, decisive and effective action, without waiting or relying on others, avoiding "saying no, saying it's difficult, or saying yes without doing it"; assignments must ensure "six clear points: clear person, clear task, clear responsibility, clear authority, clear time, clear result."
