Does the Prime Minister of the Government of Vietnam have the authority to suspend or annul documents issued by central government agencies?
Based on Clause 8, Article 58 of the Government Organization Law of 2015, which stipulates the duties and powers of the Prime Minister:
Suspending the implementation or annulling documents of Ministers, Heads of ministerial-level agencies, People's Committees, Chairmen of the People's Committees at the provincial level that are contrary to the Constitution, laws, and documents from higher-level state agencies; suspending the implementation of resolutions of the People's Councils at the provincial level if they are contrary to the Constitution, laws, and documents from higher-level state agencies, while simultaneously proposing the Standing Committee of the National Assembly to annul such documents.
Thus, the Prime Minister does not have the authority to annul documents that are contrary to legal regulations issued by the Supreme People's Procuracy. If such documents are contrary to the law, the Standing Committee of the National Assembly has the authority to suspend or annul those documents. The Prime Minister of the Government of Vietnam may propose the Standing Committee of the National Assembly to annul such documents.
Respectfully!
