Hanoi (VNA) – Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong chaired meetings of the Politburo and the Secretariat of the Party Central Committee in Hanoi on June 18 to consider disciplinary measures against the Standing Board of the provincial Party Committee in the 2015-2020 tenure, the Party Civil Affairs Committee of the provincial People’s Committee in the 2016-2021 tenure and several former leaders of Binh Duong province.

After considering a proposal put forward by the Party Central Committee’s Inspection Commission, the Politburo and Secretariat held that the Standing Board of the Binh Duong Provincial Party Committee in the 2015-2020 tenure and the Party Civial Affairs Committee of the provincial People’s Committee in the 2016-2021 tenure violated democratic centralism principles, loosened leadership resulting in several Party units and members violating the Party’s regulations and the State’s laws on the use and management of public land, capital and assets under the management of the provincial Party Committee, causing serious consequences and significant losses to the State budget.

According to the Secretariat, Tran Van Nam, in his capacity as member of the Party Central Committee, Secretary of the provincial Party Committee, head of the provincial delegation of deputies to the 14th National Assembly, was responsible for violations and shortcomings committed by the Standing Board of the provincial Party Committee in the 2015-2020 tenure.

Pham Van Canh, when holding the position of Permanent Vice Secretary of the provincial Party Committee; and Tran Thanh Liem, when working as Vice Secretary of the provincial Party Committee, Secretary of the Party Civil Affairs Committee and Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee, violated principles of democratic centralism and took direct responsibility for the wrongdoings that caused State asset losses.

Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Nguyen Thanh Truc and the provincial Chief Inspector Tran Xuan Lam were also involved in the above-said wrongdoings.

Violations by these collectives and individuals are extremely serious, causing huge losses to the Party and State’s budget, hurting the prestige of the provincial Party Organisation and administration and causing public concern.

The Politburo decided to give a warning as a disciplinary measure against the Standing Board of the provincial Party Committee in the 2015-2020 tenure. The Secretariat also issued a warning to the Party Civil Affairs Committee of the provincial People’s Committee in the 2016-2021 tenure.

The Politburo proposed the Party Central Committee consider imposing a disciplinary measure against Tran Van Nam.

The Secretariat also decided to dismiss Pham Van Canh, Tran Thanh Liem, Nguyen Thanh Truc and Tran Thanh Lam from all Party positions./.
