The decision was made during the Secretariat’s meeting in Hanoi on July10 which was chaired by General Secretary of the CPV Central Committee NguyenPhu Trong.

According to theSecretariat, the MIC’s Party Civil Affairs Committee did notseriously obey the principles of the Party’s operations; violated the principleof democratic centralism and working regulations; showed a lack ofresponsibility and relaxed its leadership, management, inspection, andmonitoring.

These wrongdoings, the Secretariat said,resulted in the MIC and the MobiFone Telecommunication Corporation seriouslyinfringing upon legal regulations on building, assessing, approving, and carryingout the project, resulting in huge losses to the State assets.

The MIC’s Party Civil Affairs Committee also letsome of the ministry’s leaders seriously violate working regulations and failto complete their assigned tasks. At the same time, it did not seriouslyinstruct the implementation of the Government Inspectorate’s conclusions on theaforementioned project, the Secretariat said.

The serious violations committed by the MIC’s Party CivilAffairs Committee have led to huge losses to the State assets, seriouslyimpacting the operation and equitisation of MobiFone and the prestige of Partyorganisation and the MIC, as well as causing public concern.

Thang also violated the Law on Enterprises and the BiddingLaw, along with the Party’s regulations on things that a Party member is notallowed to do and on the responsibility of setting an example for otherofficials and Party members.

His violations were very serious, harming the interests ofbusinesses, causing bad public opinions, and negatively affecting the prestigeof the Party organisation and VCIC.
