How to promote the propaganda of NPC supervision?

Article 7 of the Supervision Law stipulates in the general provisions: "The object of the standing committees of people's congresses at all levels to exercise their supervisory functions and powers is the public". This is the first time that the laws of China stipulate the principle of openness for NPC Standing Committee to exercise its supervisory power. The supervision of the standing committees of people's congresses at all levels is a check-and-balance mechanism that restricts the exercise of administrative power, judicial power and procuratorial power of "one government, two houses" at the same level, prevents administrative deviation and judicial injustice, and realizes the coordinated operation of state machines. Who exercises supervision over the standing committees of local people's congresses at all levels? As we all know, the supervision power of the NPC is endowed by the people, and it is natural to accept the supervision of the people. How to accept the supervision of the people? It is very important that NPC and its Standing Committee should openly supervise their work. At present, the supervision work of some local people's congress standing committees is "make it public if you want to, but not if you don't want to." Some great workers joked that NPC supervised the work of opening up: "Opening up is not enough, but it should be open." Therefore, there is a phenomenon that the supervision of the NPC is absent, offside and not in place. The fundamental reason is that the main body of supervision lacks effective supervision. Accepting supervision is not only determined by the nature of public power, but also the fundamental measure to overcome the expansion, rigor and concealment of power and put an end to the disadvantages of black-box operation and behind-the-scenes trading. The ancients said, "Bribery follows power". The dominance, seduction and corrosiveness of power make many heroes last stand. In order to ensure the effectiveness of supervision, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress must dare to grasp the central work of the Party Committee and government, the difficulties and hot issues of the masses, and at the same time, dare to make the supervision process open simultaneously and accept the supervision of all NPC deputies and citizens. So, how to promote the propaganda of NPC supervision? The author talks about the superficial views: First, raise awareness. Party committees, people's congresses, "one government, two houses" and the news media should attach great importance to it, fully understand the importance of implementing the supervision law and the principle of supervision and openness, do a good job in supervision and openness from the perspective of law enforcement, and strictly perform their duties of supervision and openness. Local party committees should take the supervision and publicity of NPC as an important measure to strengthen the ties between the party and the masses and improve their ruling ability, and vigorously support and help solve the difficulties and problems in the process of NPC supervision and publicity; The Standing Committee of the National People's Congress should keep close contact with deputies to the National People's Congress and the people, listen to the voices of the people, distinguish public opinions and seek benefits, and carry out activities such as reporting to deputies by members of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress and reporting to voters by deputies, so as to live up to the great trust and mission and truly protect citizens' right to know, participate, express and supervise; The "one government, two houses" and its constituent departments should raise awareness, support and cooperate with the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress in implementing supervision and openness, consciously accept social and mass supervision, and earnestly carry out rectification and implementation; Propaganda agencies and news media should increase the publicity of the supervision law and the supervision work of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, give full play to their own advantages, and provide a good public opinion environment for the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress to implement supervision and publicity. The second is to improve the system. In the process of implementing the principle of public supervision, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress should formulate operating rules according to its own actual situation within the legal framework of the supervision law, and refine and standardize the implementation of public supervision in the form of a system. It is necessary to establish and improve the supervision and publicity system of NPC. Establish and improve the system of citizens attending people's congresses, standing committees and other meetings. At the same time, we can also explore ways to give citizens the right to "gossip" and attend meetings of directors with important topics. By formulating an open system, we will clarify the contents, procedures, forms and carriers of disclosure, further standardize and improve the open work, so as to improve the system and promote and standardize supervision and disclosure; It is necessary to establish and improve the contact and coordination system with news organizations. Strengthen contact and coordination with news media. While consolidating the recording and broadcasting of the "Three Sessions" of NPC, Standing Committee and Directors' Meeting, a live broadcast system can be gradually established when conditions permit, and newspapers, radio, television and the Internet can be fully used to broadcast the meeting publicly, so as to enhance the openness and transparency of the decision-making deliberation of NPC and its Standing Committee and facilitate the people to intuitively understand the whole process of NPC exercising its functions and powers; It is necessary to establish a press release system. We can consider establishing a press release system in the local people's congress standing committees where conditions permit, and regularly announce to the public the supervision work of the people's congress standing committees according to law, discuss and decide on major issues, appoint and dismiss personnel, implement the resolutions and decisions of the people's congress standing committees in one government and two houses, and implement various opinions and suggestions, so that the supervision work of the people's congress can be disclosed to the society and the masses in a timely and efficient manner. The third is to grasp the principle of openness. On the issue of public supervision. Implement practical projects for the people, planning and reconstruction of villages in cities, planning, financial revenue and expenditure supervision, administration according to law, activities to create "people's satisfaction units", construction of urban public facilities, protection of urban drinking water sources, food hygiene, popularization of laws during the Fifth Five-Year Plan, construction of industrial clusters, integration of educational resources, new rural cooperative medical care, construction of affordable housing, environmental protection, land consolidation and new rural construction. In terms of expanding the scope of publicity. Regularly send the documents of the Standing Committee, the work briefing of the National People's Congress, learning materials and other publications to the representatives, and timely inform the supervision work of the Standing Committee; Invite the Municipal People's Congress to attend the meeting of the Standing Committee and participate in the law enforcement inspection and various research activities organized by the Standing Committee; When deciding major issues, carrying out important work, investigating and studying, and deliberating topics, the Standing Committee held various symposiums, paid attention to listening to the voices of the masses, and placed the supervision of NPC on a broad mass basis. The fourth is to broaden the channels of information disclosure. The supervision law has no specific provisions on how to implement supervision publicity, which leaves room for the National People's Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) to actively explore and practice supervision publicity according to the actual situation under the legal principle. We should constantly innovate and enrich the forms of publicity within the scope permitted by law, and actively expand the channels of supervision and publicity. First, we should strengthen the construction of NPC publications and websites. Do a good job in periodicals, bulletins, work information and other publications of the Standing Committee, improve timeliness, and turn these materials into public texts. The public can consult them free of charge in the office of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress or in public places, or distribute them to the public at the request of citizens; Further establish and improve the functions of the NPC website and accelerate the construction of e-government of the NPC. On the one hand, the NPC website comprehensively introduces the dynamic information of the work of the NPC and its Standing Committee; On the other hand, e-mail boxes such as "online forum", "director's mailbox", "online interaction" and "contribution box" are set up to solicit opinions and suggestions from the masses and build an interactive platform with the public. Second, we should give full play to the advantages of social news media such as party newspapers and periodicals, radio and television. Make comprehensive or focused social announcements through news, sidelights, special topics, photography, audio-visual and other forms, set up online column programs for NPC deputies in these media, and set up online archives of NPC organs under the premise of observing the confidentiality law to facilitate people's online access. Third, we should take appropriate carriers for publicity. The law does not stipulate or restrict the carrier of NPC's supervision over the public. At present, media release, periodical release, website release, news release, bulletin board and electronic display board release, and even SMS release are all legal and effective. The way to publish information depends on the requirements of the content and the degree of effect. To publish different content, we should choose different carriers appropriately. The general process is relatively simple, and the supervision matters concerned by the masses are made public by the news media; Professional audit report and financial report, etc. , have been made public by the paper media, so that people have time to read and analyze; For the events and hot and difficult issues of social concern, the combination of news media disclosure and paper media disclosure can be adopted to achieve the publicity effect; The investigation results of some specific problems, suggestions on handling specific people or events, and materials involving local secrets can be made public in a certain way. For example, similar to the practice of foreign parliaments, citizens or organizations can consult relevant documents in NPC institutions with valid certificates or attend relevant NPC meetings upon application. Practice has proved that openness is sunshine, which can illuminate the direction of progress; Publicity is a preservative, which can inhibit the corruption of power; Openness is a balance, which can weigh the weight of NPC performance; Openness is a yardstick to measure whether there is a distance between NPC and people. Therefore, only by making the supervision of NPC public can we really accept the supervision of the people. (Sun Zhonglin, Standing Committee of dengzhou city Municipal People's Congress)
