At a meeting on August 20, the provincial Party Committee’s Inspection Commission approved the results of inspection over violations at the Party Committee of the management board of the provincial industrial parks for the 2010-2015 tenure and Cuong, who was also Director of the management board of IP construction and investment projects for the 2010-2015 and 2015-2020 tenures.

The commission concluded that the Party Committee of the management board of the provincial industrial parks violated the principle of democratic centralism and working regulations, showed the lack of responsibility in leadership, direction and inspection, resulting in violations of the Party regulations and State laws on the use and management of finance and construction investment.

Cuong must take main responsibility for violations and wrongdoings at the Party Committee of the management board of the provincial industrial parks as a leader.

Violations by the Party Committee of the management board of the provincial industrial parks and Cuong himself caused serious consequences, hence disciplinary measures are needed, the commission said./.
