According to the inspection of the Nghe An Department of Home Affairs, the finance and accounting division of the Nghe An Department of Agriculture and Rural Development has 15 members, including one head and six deputy heads.

This department has one director and seven deputy directors in charge of forestry, irrigation, fisheries, agriculture, veterinary, forest management, etc.

The Department of Home Affairs has 31 public servants, including 19 leaders: one director, four deputy directors and the heads and deputy heads of divisions. The department’s officer and employee division currently has four employees, including one chief and two deputy chiefs.

Ms. Cao Thi Hien, director of the Nghe An Department of Home Affairs, said that the department has seven divisions; each division has a head and 1-2 deputy heads.

The finance and accounting division of the Anh Son district People's Committee has four staff and all of them are officials, consisting of one chief and three deputy chiefs.

Ms. Hien explained, this is a consequence of the process of merging some specific divisions. The Department of Agriculture was the merger of three former departments of Fisheries, Forestry and Agriculture. In the process, a number of department chiefs of the former departments become the deputy chiefs of the merged department. As a result, a department with 15 staff has up to six deputy heads.

On the other hand, the characteristics of the Department of Agriculture is in charge of various sectors, such as agriculture, forestry, fisheries, irrigation, animal health ... so it needs specialized deputy chiefs.

According to Decision No. 63 dated 2008 of the People's Committee of Nghe An province, each division under provincial departments and district-level People's Committees can have up to one head and two deputy heads. In other cases, they must have the approval of the Department of Interior.

"In Nghe An, the number of heads and deputy heads of departments and divisions is still under the limit. There is nothing unusual," Hien said.
