How to give full play to the role of village supervisory committee members in village-level organizations

Problems existing in the operation of the villagers supervision committee

1. The role is not fully exerted. At present, the work of some villagers' supervisory committees is limited to village financial supervision, and most of the activities of the supervisory committees are also a monthly review of financial expenditures. There is less supervision over the democratic management and decision-making of village affairs, such as whether the decision-making procedures for major matters are in place, whether the disclosure of the village's "three affairs" is timely and true, and whether the decision-making, construction, and acceptance of village-level engineering projects comply with relevant regulations, etc. wait. In addition, in addition to the supervisory role, the village supervisory committee should also play a participatory role in village affairs decision-making, a publicity and explanation role after village affairs decision-making, and a communication and coordination role between village cadres and villagers. These three roles are in practice. It is often ignored.

2． Don't pay attention to the methods. A small number of village supervisory committees did not promptly report to the village party organization, communicate with the main person in charge of the village-level organization, and report to the town discipline inspection committee in a timely manner for the emerging problems discovered during the specific supervision process. They will not let go of small branches and leaves, and even artificially expand their influence without principles or overall view, which will affect stability.

3. The purpose and direction are unclear. Due to personal feelings, likes and dislikes or the undue influence of some people, individual village supervisory committees mistreat people during supervision, deliberately make things difficult or seek personal gain; they lack a fair and just stance, cannot respect objective facts, and do not adhere to the principle of seeking truth from facts; some Personal interests or the interests of a few people hijack collective interests and group interests.

4. The effect is not outstanding. A few villages do not fully disclose their financial affairs. What should be disclosed is not disclosed, and the public cannot understand it; the decision-making procedures for major village-level matters are not in place; the disposal of village collective assets is not standardized; problems such as unfair resource allocation such as homestead approval still exist. .

3. Main factors affecting the role of the village supervisory committee

(1) Weak awareness and misunderstanding are ideological factors that affect the role of the village supervisory committee.

1． township level. Some town leaders failed to fully understand the importance and urgency of strengthening the construction of villagers' supervisory committees from the perspective of strengthening the construction of party style and clean government at the rural grassroots level and promoting rural reform, development and stability. Some grassroots cadres are influenced by traditional consciousness and believe that the key to village-level organization lies in the party organization and village committee. Whether or not the construction of the village supervisory committee is grasped will not cause major problems, nor will it affect the overall situation. On the other hand, the current rural society is in the process of coordinated urban and rural development and a period of adjustment of the interest pattern. It is also a period when social contradictions are emerging. Stability has become an overriding political task. Striving for stability and fearing chaos have become the current trend of the party committees and governments of various towns. main psychology. The establishment of villagers' supervisory committees has promoted rural harmony and stability in the long run, but in a short period of time there will be a re-decomposition of power at the rural grassroots level. The main leaders of the town party committee and government are afraid of triggering new conflicts and are afraid of difficulties.

2． village organizational level. At present, many village cadres do not view the establishment of village supervisory committees from positive aspects such as promoting village affairs management and improving relations between cadres and the masses. Instead, they consider more the adverse effects that village supervisory committees will bring to themselves. Some village cadres believe that the establishment of the village supervisory committee is a distrust of themselves and have feelings of resistance; some village cadres feel that the supervision of the village supervisory committee has restricted their hands and is looking for trouble and affecting work efficiency; some village cadres are even more selfish. They are afraid of being "seized" and are unwilling to accept supervision. They are worried that if they are supervised, they will be more constrained and their power will be reduced, and there will be no room for using power for personal gain.

(2) Overlapping organizations and ambiguous positioning are institutional factors that affect the role of the village supervisory committee.

1． Theoretical relationship processing issues. That is, the relationship between the village party organization, the village committee and the village supervisory committee. According to the "Regulations on the Work of Rural Grassroots Organizations of the Communist Party of China", the village party branch is the core leadership of various rural organizations and discusses and decides important issues in the economic construction and social development of the village. As a villagers' autonomous organization, the village committee is also based on the authorization of the "Organic Law of Villagers' Committees of the People's Republic of China" and based on the democratic election of all villagers. It does not have the legal obligation to obey the village party organization. . The differences in the sources of power and authority between the two will inevitably affect the unity of rural politics. The "Organic Law of Villagers Committees of the People's Republic of China" only stipulates that villages should establish supervisory bodies such as villagers' supervisory committees, but does not clearly define the relationship between village supervisory committees and village committees.

The "Regulations on the Work of Rural Grassroots Organizations of the Communist Party of China" generally states that the party branch has the responsibility to promote village-level democratic supervision and supervise party members, but as to who will implement the supervision, the relationship between this organization and the village party organization is completely Not involved.

2． Practical operational level issues. In theory, the villagers supervisory committee should be an entity that works side by side with the village party organization and village committee, with clear functions and strong independence. But in fact, the village supervisory committee is often constrained by the village party organization and village committee, making it difficult to truly play its supervisory role. Under normal circumstances, villagers with higher qualities, stronger abilities, and higher recognition by the masses will first be selected as village party organization secretaries. In addition, due to various differences in economic treatment, political treatment, and power space, the position of director of the village committee is often more attractive than the director of the village supervisory committee during general elections. Therefore, the quality of the members of the village supervisory committee is usually inferior to that of the members of the village's "two committees". This membership structure will inevitably weaken the effective operation of the village supervisory committee.

(3) System defects and poor implementation are institutional factors that affect the role of the village supervisory committee.

1． The institutional system is incomplete. Due to the fact that the village supervisory committee has not been established for a long time and lacks experience, the relevant system construction is generally reflected in the guidance at the macro level, but in terms of specific operations at the micro level, there is insufficient institutional supply, targeted guidance and standardization of village supervisory committees. There are few systems for meeting people's work, and the supervision system is imperfect and unscientific.

2． Supervision and execution lack rigidity. The shortcomings of the system hinder the performance of the duties of the village supervisory committee. The lack of standardized and procedural provisions for village affairs supervision makes village affairs supervision more arbitrary, and supervision may become a mere formality. There are "no supervision" and "no supervision". Due to the problems of "difficult supervision" and "chaotic supervision", the operational effectiveness of the village supervisory committee has been greatly reduced, and it has even been in name only and in name only.

3. Towns have poor control. Each town usually neglects to provide guidance to the village supervisory committee and does not have high requirements for its work. The training for members of the Village Supervisory Committee is not strong enough, the frequency is not high enough, and the content is not broad enough; the difficulties encountered in the work of the Village Supervisory Committee are not well understood and the support is not enough; problems that arise in the work of the Village Supervisory Committee are not corrected in a timely manner , left unchecked, lacking effective methods and measures to constrain its work.

(4) Structural imbalance and weak business are quality factors that affect the role of the village supervisory committee.

Most villages are not active in developing new party members, the party member team is seriously aging, and the party organization cannot replenish fresh blood in time, which also indirectly affects the selection scope and personnel quality of the village supervisory committee director. Judging from the members of the Supervisory Committee of our county, first, the members of the Supervisory Committee are relatively older. At the level of village supervisory committee directors, among the 123 village supervisory committee directors, 4 are under 35 years old, accounting for 2.02%; 68 are over 60 years old, accounting for 55.38%; the average age is 57 years old. At the village supervisory committee level, there are 10 people under the age of 35, accounting for 1.6%; 113 people over the age of 60, accounting for 31.83%; the average age is 52 years old. Second, the level of education is not high. At the village supervisory committee director level, there are 24 people from high school, accounting for 14.9%; 99 people from primary and junior high schools, accounting for 69.9%. At the village supervisory committee level, there are 12 people from high schools, accounting for 15.5%; 343 people from junior high schools and primary schools, accounting for 82.8%. Third, there are not many people with professional knowledge. There are 478 village supervisory committee members, 67 of whom are familiar with financial and management knowledge, or 14.1%. Therefore, it is common for village supervisory committee members to have low work efficiency due to deviations in their own qualities: some do not know where to start with the work of the village supervisory committee due to low knowledge levels and other reasons; some think that the village supervisory committee is just a formality It is impossible to effectively supervise the "two committees" of the village; some, in order to protect themselves, do more things rather than less things, and are not attentive to the supervision work and do not work hard; others think that they are all neighbors and villagers, so there is no need to supervise carefully, etc. wait.

(5) Lack of order in autonomy and weak leadership are fundamental factors at the grassroots level that affect the role of the village supervisory committee.

1． How to effectively realize and implement the party's leadership in rural areas. At present, the relationship and contradiction between the party branch and the village committee have increasingly become a focus that cannot be ignored in the process of villagers' self-government. When it comes to dealing with the relationship between the "two committees", some villages with serious problems often lead to chaos in the management of village affairs due to the discord between the "two committees", seriously affecting the smooth development of various tasks at the village level, and becoming a "constant problem" for the village. .

2． There is a serious imbalance in the rights and responsibilities of village-level organizations. At present, the serious imbalance between responsibilities and rights is an inevitable confusion faced by village-level organizations.

On the one hand, in recent years, the rural collective economy has continued to grow, the state has invested heavily in supporting and benefiting farmers, rural infrastructure construction has been continuously strengthened, rural economic activities have become increasingly frequent, and the "gold content" of village cadres' power has continued to increase. On the other hand, in the reality of "auditional elections" for village directors, it is difficult for towns to effectively restrict them, and the villagers' meeting or villager's representative meeting as a power authority is often ignored.

4. Countermeasures and suggestions for giving full play to the role of the villagers supervisory committee

(1) Be good at publicity and guidance, deepen understanding, and consolidate the ideological foundation

1. Pay attention to height. The establishment of villagers' supervisory committees is a useful exploration to improve the villagers' self-governance system and promote the construction of grassroots democratic politics. It is a powerful starting point to regulate the behavior of village cadres in using money and power and promote the construction of rural party style and clean government. It is a way to strengthen and innovate social management and promote rural An effective carrier of social harmony and stability, it is a positive measure to smooth communication channels and close the relationship between the party and the masses, cadres and the masses.

2． Pay attention to angles. Starting from the changes in village-level democratic management and democratic supervision before and after the establishment of the village supervisory committee, we will make full use of the good experience and good practices in the work of the village supervisory committee, and conduct vigorous publicity so that the general public can intuitively understand the purpose of establishing the village supervisory committee. Function and significance. Thus, guiding and mobilizing the enthusiasm of villagers to participate in supervision.

3． Focus on breadth. Each town should use platforms such as the theoretical study of the Party Committee Central Group and the Learning Network for Cadres and Party Members in the form of special lectures, reports, and special TV films; village-level organizations should use radio, blackboard newspapers, publicity windows, slogans, farmers' mailboxes, and entertainment performances and other carriers, widely publicize the purpose, significance and main content of the establishment of village supervisory committees, and deeply promote grassroots democratic supervision to create a good atmosphere of public opinion.

4. Focus on depth. For members of the village supervisory committee, the purpose of publicity and guidance focuses on dispelling their ideological concerns, enhancing their confidence in supervision, and fully mobilizing their subjective initiative so that they dare to supervise, are good at supervision, and supervise scientifically.

(2) Accurately grasp positioning, clarify relationships, and build institutional guarantees

1. Sort out relationships. As the organic team of an organized village, the village supervisory committee has considerable independence like the village party organization and village committee. The village supervisory committee has the characteristics of a dual leadership agency. It is led by the village party organization and is responsible to the villagers' assembly and villager representative meeting, and it is also led by the superior town discipline inspection commission.

2． Clarify functions. The responsibilities of the village supervisory committee can be summarized in the following five aspects: First, party affairs supervision. Public supervision of party affairs and feedback of masses’ opinions and suggestions; attending party organization meetings and participating in supervising the decision-making process of party affairs; supervising the management and implementation process of party affairs and providing timely feedback to the party organization. The second is public supervision. Supervise and inspect the implementation of the village affairs disclosure system, review the content of village affairs and financial disclosures; be responsible for timely investigation and verification of problems reported by the masses; summarize the village affairs disclosure work at the end of the year and report to the village representative meeting. The third is affairs supervision. Attend important village affairs meetings and relevant meetings of the two village committees; participate in village affairs decision-making; supervise the entire process of the use, disposal and benefit distribution of village funds, assets and resources. The fourth is democratic financial supervision. Supervise the financial revenue and expenditure and management work of the village committee; supervise and verify the implementation and implementation of the village's financial system, financial plan, and economic contracts. The fifth is cadre supervision. The supervision of village cadres mainly includes the following aspects: First, supervise whether the decision-making of village cadres is democratic and reasonable; for example, whether the implementation of policies to strengthen agriculture and benefit farmers and the management of rural "three capitals" (funds, assets, and resources) are After research by the village branch, village committee, and village supervisory committee, there is no "black-box operation" and whether it is open and fair; secondly, it is to supervise whether the process of village cadres' performance of duties is standardized; for example, whether there is any simplification in the process of performance of duties? The third is to supervise whether the village cadres are honest and self-disciplined, and see whether they eat, take, get stuck, ask for, and harm the public and private interests in the management of specific affairs. In terms of supervision methods, it can be through visiting the masses to understand, setting up reporting boxes, reporting hotlines, and reporting to township cadres.

3． Role positioning. One is the "Bridge to Heart". Rural work is intricate and complex, and cadres and the masses inevitably encounter misunderstandings and contradictions in their daily work. In its work, the Village Supervisory Committee should actively collect village conditions and public opinion, grasp the ideological trends of the masses, promptly reflect the opinions and hot issues of concern to the village committees, and then convey the opinions and intentions of the village committees to the village committee in a timely manner. the masses.

At the same time, in the process of performing its duties, the Village Supervisory Committee fully absorbs the opinions and suggestions of the masses, represents the opinions and ideas of the masses, embodies the interests of the masses, and participates in supervision and management, thereby enabling the village committees to make work decisions, carry out work and develop Stability embodies "people-oriented". Through the communication of information between the lower level and the upper level, a bridge of communication between villagers and village cadres is built, and the channels for villagers to report problems are smoothed. The second is the "think tank". In its daily work, the Village Supervisory Committee participates in the work decisions of the two village committees, handles and coordinates specific issues, proactively handles people's livelihood matters, and carries out regular supervision through a certain range of visits, investigations, etc. or organizes questioning and hearings based on specific village affairs. During the Being able to hear the voices of the masses and discover emerging problems, use this advantage to serve as a staff assistant to the village "two committees" and actively provide rational suggestions to the village two committees, thereby effectively serving as the "think tank" for village-level management decision-making. , to promote the comprehensive construction and career development of the village. The third is "lubricant". The village supervisory committee can give full play to its advantages in contacting the masses and actively publicize the rural lines, principles and policies of party committees and governments at all levels, relevant laws and regulations, and important village decisions, major issues, and related policies, especially when the masses are unaware and do not understand. Even when there is resistance, we should promptly cooperate with village cadres to explain relevant matters, promptly eliminate the doubts and misunderstandings of the masses, resolve various contradictions and problems in the countryside, promote the harmony and stability of rural society, and be a good "lubricant". We must truly achieve "giving the masses an understanding and returning the cadres' innocence" and further harmonize the relationship between the party and the masses, cadres and the masses. The fourth is "booster". While effectively supervising the work of the village's "two committees", the village supervisory committee should also actively participate in educating villagers and mediating civil disputes, resolving conflicts between cadres and the masses, eliminating rural instability factors from the source in a timely manner, and promoting social stability. Harmony has become a "booster" for rural reform and development.

(3) Explore working mechanisms, standardize procedures, and strictly control systems

1. Pay attention to standards and innovate work processes. We regard innovating the democratic supervision process at the village level and strengthening the supervision of village-level public authority as the "key task" to promote the construction of party style and clean government at the rural grassroots level. We should actively explore and practice and strive to solve difficult problems in villagers' supervision. In recent years, our county has explored and implemented supervision systems such as the "one matter, one discussion, one signature and one disclosure" system for villagers' decision-making, quarterly disclosure of village financial and party affairs, and monthly disclosure of accounts. Innovations have been made in democratic decision-making on major village-level matters, disclosure of "three affairs", and supervision of "three capitals", highlighting the pertinence, effectiveness and operability of villagers' supervision, improving the level of villagers' supervision, and giving better play to It has strengthened the role of the villagers supervisory committee and promoted the orderly and standardized operation of village-level affairs.

2． Pay attention to the system and improve the work system. The first is to improve the learning and training system. Villagers’ supervisory committees should regularly carry out collective learning to strengthen their own construction. All towns and relevant departments should incorporate the education and training of villagers supervision committee members into the village cadre training plan and make overall arrangements. It is necessary to strengthen pre-job and daily training, and comprehensive and systematic training must be carried out after the villagers supervisory committee is re-elected. The second is to improve the regular work meeting system. Regular meetings of the Village Supervisory Committee are held regularly, and ad hoc meetings can also be held from time to time according to work needs. The meeting should be conducted through democratic consultation and democratic voting. At the same time, villagers should be extensively consulted for their opinions and suggestions on the decision-making and implementation of various village affairs by visiting villagers, holding symposiums, etc., and striving to improve the scientific and democratic level of supervision. The third is to improve the duty performance reporting system. The villagers supervisory committee reports its work to the village party organization and the villagers meeting or villager representative meeting every six months. Each town should strengthen the work guidance of the villagers' supervision committees, organize regular villagers' supervision work meetings, and listen to the work reports of each village supervisory committee. Each town must carefully investigate and verify the issues reported by the villagers supervisory committee and deal with them in a timely manner. The fourth is to improve the work ledger system. Every activity of the Villagers Supervision Committee should be carefully and truthfully recorded; the complaints received from the masses and their handling should be carefully and truthfully registered, and they should be listed as village affairs files for reference.

3. Pay attention to direction and improve relief guarantees. The village supervisory committee shall promptly raise any issues discovered during supervision to the two village committees, and submit them to the village representative meeting or villagers meeting for discussion as appropriate. If the two village committees do not adopt correct opinions, they can report it to the town's Discipline Inspection Commission or relevant functional departments, and each town and relevant functional departments should handle it promptly and properly. If the work of the village supervisory committee is unreasonably obstructed, or its members are retaliated against, they may lodge a complaint with the village party organization and the town disciplinary committee. The village party organization and the town disciplinary committee should coordinate in a timely manner and deal with it seriously.

In addition, there must also be hardware facilities that meet the needs of the work of the village supervisory committee and meet the "eight haves" standard, that is, organized management, a place for offices, a brand for the outside world, a system for work, procedures for operation, rules for supervision, and activities There are records and effective supervision.

4. Pay attention to restraint and strengthen disciplinary requirements. In order to ensure the effective supervision of village-level affairs by the village supervisory committee and prevent the absence, misplacement, and offside supervision of some village supervisory committee members, the disciplinary committees of each town must strengthen inspection and supervision and conduct regular inspections and assessments. Once it is discovered that there are problems in the work of the village supervisory committee, the work is not in place, or there are violations such as overstepping of authority, the disciplinary committee of each town can request an interview with the village supervisory committee and provide reminders and education. For more serious problems, a rectification notice will be issued to ensure disciplinary restraint on the village supervisory committee. Members of the Village Supervisory Committee must report on their work and integrity at the end of the year, and report their work regularly to the Villagers’ Representatives Conference, which will evaluate their work and accept trust assessments. If the votes of confidence do not reach half of the votes or if violations of disciplines and laws are investigated and punished during the term of office, the disciplinary committee of each town will order his resignation.

(4) Pay attention to education management, improve quality, and strengthen team building

1. Strict assessment. Establish and improve the "Evaluation Methods for Village Supervisory Committees" to further refine and quantify the assessment of job objectives and responsibilities of village supervisory committees and their members. The Discipline Inspection Commission of each town will take the lead in assessing village supervisory committees. At the same time, the application of results will be strengthened, and corresponding rewards will be paid according to regulations to village supervisory committees whose assessment results are good or above; those whose assessment results are excellent will be notified and commended, and certain financial rewards will be given.

2． Strengthen management. The Discipline Inspection Commission of each town should strengthen the daily management responsibilities of the village supervisory committee, keep abreast of the work of the village supervisory committee, and punish the members of the village supervisory committee who fail to perform their duties in their work, violate relevant regulations, or even engage in malpractice or violate party discipline. For political and disciplinary behavior, corresponding treatment will be given according to the seriousness of the problem, such as reminder education, admonishment and exemption talks, until the recall process is initiated and the case is transferred to the judicial authority for handling.

3． Normal education. In view of the fact that the overall quality of village supervisory committee members is low, regular training and education should be used to effectively improve the ability of village supervisory committee members to perform their duties. They should be educated and trained according to the method of combining "key rotation training, graded training, regular education, and personal self-study". We use meetings to train, hold special lectures, exchange work experience and other forms to focus on the following three aspects of training: First, political quality. As members of the villagers supervisory committee, they must have a certain political level and understand the important role of the villagers supervisory committee in rural politics and even national political development, thereby enhancing their sense of mission and responsibility in fulfilling their duties. The second is moral quality. As a member of the village supervisory committee, you should have a high moral quality, that is, you should always put the interests of the villagers first and never tolerate any abuse of power or private use of power. The third is business quality. The professional quality of the village supervisory committee is directly related to the ability to perform duties. The professional quality is its most basic quality. Therefore, to give full play to the role of the village supervisory committee, it is essential to cultivate and improve their professional ability. One ring.
