Vantai24h - Recently, the Urban Economic Newspaper has a pretty deep reflection on many BOT traffic projects with the title "Ball Responsibility kick to where?". Vantai24h please share this article with partners, customers and colleagues. The content of the article is as follows:

Experts acknowledge that the BOT model itself (build-operate-transfer) is not error-free; If done transparently, it will be the sweet fruit of the transport infrastructure. But the corporate greed, the weakness of the manager has turned it into a responsibility ball that everyone wants to kick away.

Distrust

From 2016, the country has started to wave the reaction of the BOT pretty intense. The reason is also because some BOT toll stations are being allowed by the Ministry of Transport and ministries, branches and localities to "put the wrong place", put people into the "no escape". And, things like Ben Thuy pick up station, Viet Tri Bridge, Cai Lay Bridge ... are drops of water. Assessing the situation, experts said that the main reason that BOT became disgusted with people and strongly opposed by it was "suspicious".

According to the Government Inspectorate, as of September 2015, the Ministry of Transport has implemented 78 transport projects in the form of BT (build-transfer contract), BOT with a length of about 2,200 km, total investment near 219 trillion, of which over 202 trillion is BOT projects. The Government Inspectorate stated that in the course of construction, the Ministry of Transport did not fully implement the process of developing and announcing the list of projects calling for investment in accordance with current regulations. In more than 70 BOT and BT projects, the Ministry of Transport did not select any investor in the form of bidding, and 100% were appointed as the only one investor involved or due to the urgency of the project. Oh. However, the Ministry does not have procedures, procedures for assessing or determining how urgent it is. Some selected investors have limited capacity, not meet the requirements of the project.

In addition, most BOT projects are implemented in key traffic areas, many of which are monolithic, leaving the road user with no choice but to pass and ... pay. In the meantime, the toll booths grew densely, 79/88 BOT tolls did not meet the required 70km. Then a series of revenue fraudulent stations, making way to this place, to charge other places ... then the inspection and audit showed a series of mistakes, shorten the charging time, causing more distrust in the people. BOT person.

Blame each other

To make a BOT project requires the participation of appraisal, agreement of the Ministry of Planning and Investment, Transport, Finance, Construction ... and related localities. But after all the chaos, BOT has now become a problem that no one wants to get into. For example, the BOT project to avoid Cai Lay town, the Ministry of Transport that "glaze" QL1 to qualify for the fee is proposed by the Tien Giang Provincial People's Committee. And Tien Giang do not know, all the Ministry of Transport and Business opinion (!?).

In the midst of boiling fire, the MPI leader said: "MPI is the policy-making body for public-private partnerships (PPP), but businesses have a way of" running the project "to abandon the bidding. . The Ministry of Transport (Ministry of Transport) said the tender takes time, only he is the other is finished, is the way.

Chairman of the Transport Association of Hanoi Bui Danh Lien said: "All are still waiting for the final opinion from the Government. But in the meantime, BOT projects are making people and businesses distrust, which is the most scary thing.

Dr. Thach Minh Quan (Transport University) said that BOT without a clear legal framework, because quickly want to create a gap "designation contractor" to form the mechanism of asking - give; Leading to the consequences like the past. Many experts also said that first need to consider the responsibility of the Ministry of Transport because these are the traffic projects, investment in what way, what conditions to invest effectively, transparent Ministry of Transport must have Propose and advise the Government to assign specialized agencies to support and implement.

Recently, the Government Inspectorate has reported to the Prime Minister that the Ministry of Transport is responsible for investment decisions, irrational charge schemes, approval of false investment, selection of investors, Signing contracts is not tight in BOT projects. The Ministry of Finance shall have to bear responsibility related to the unreasonable charge collection, agreement on the establishment of toll booths not up to the principles ...

In the medium-term budget plan for 2016-2020, the capital for the transport sector only meets 30% of the demand, the remaining 70% is expected to be private, Deputy Minister of Transport Nguyen Ngoc Dong said.
