Hanoi (VNA) – The Party Central Committee’s Inspection Commission convened its 47th meeting in Hanoi on September 10-11 under the chair of its head Tran Cam Tu, who is also Politburo member and Secretary of the Party Central Committee.
The commission concluded that the standing board of the Ha Giang provincial Party Committee for the 2020-2025 term and the Party Civil Affairs Board of the provincial People's Committee for the 2021-2026 term had violated the democratic centralism principle and working regulations. They were found to lack responsibility and loosen leadership and direction, resulting in the provincial People's Committee and numerous organisations and individuals committing serious violations of Party regulations and State laws during the implementation of the Tuyen Quang - Ha Giang expressway project. Several officials and Party members, including key provincial officials, violated regulations on what Party members must not do and the responsibility to set an example.
These violations have caused serious consequences, including the risk of significant loss and waste of State funds and assets. They have also led to negative public opinion, harming the reputation of the local Party organisation and authorities, to the extent that disciplinary action is taken.
The commission decided to dismiss Deputy Secretary of the Party cell and Acting Director of the provincial transport construction project management board Le Tien Dung from all Party positions, issue warnings to the Party Civil Affairs Board of the provincial People's Committee for the 2021-2026 term, the Party Committee of the provincial Department of Planning and Investment, the Party cell of the provincial transport construction project management board for the 2020-2025 term, Vice Secretary of the provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Nguyen Van Son, and Secretary of the Party Committee and Director of the Department of Planning and Investment Luong Van Doan.
It also reprimanded the Party Committee of the Department of Transport, the Party Committee of the Office of the provincial People's Committee for the 2020-2025 term, and Secretary of the Party Committee and Director of the Transport Department Le Minh Duc.
The commission asked relevant authorities to consider and impose disciplinary action on the standing board of the provincial Party Committee for the 2020-2025 term and former member of the Party Central Committee and Secretary of the provincial Party Committee Dang Quoc Khanh.
Former and incumbent officials of Quang Ngai and Ben Tre provinces also received warnings and reprimand for their violations in bidding packages carried out by the Phuc Son Group JSC, and land use and management for projects funded outside the State budget, as well as asset and income declaration, respectively.
At the meeting, opinions were also provided for a draft regulation on mechanisms for detecting, preventing, and stopping violations by Party organisations and members./.
