"My petition pointed out that Article 88 is not clear, specific to the implementation and application in practice it is difficult to objectively and easily abused. Occupational function, I see problems where, under conditions permitted by law, I exercise. Hope there is a change, can not be changed immediately. It also depends on the attitudes and social attention to the issues that I raised. "

Practice in Vietnam shows the complaint, petition, and the petition letter of citizens have little hope of government response, but attorney Duong Ha emphasize that:

"Pursuant to Clause 3, Article 7 of the Law on Organization of the National Assembly in 2001, the National Assembly Standing Committee is responsible for interpretation of the Constitution, laws, and ordinances. They state wage to do this. Their obligation is to do. But they do not they will be held accountable to the state, the people. "
