Hanoi(VNA) - The National Assembly (NA) Standing Committee convened a meeting on July 19 to decide on relieving Do Duc Duy, member of the Lao Cai province’s NA delegation, from his position as NA deputy.
The NA Standing Committee held discussions, conducted a secret ballot, and passed Resolution No. 1769/NQ-UBTVQH15 approving the relief of Duy from the position of member of the 15th NA.
Previously, on July 17, after considering the proposal from the Party Central Committee’s Inspection Commission regarding disciplinary actions against violating Party members, the Politburo held that Duy, member of the Party Central Committee, member of the Government Party Committee, Secretary of the Party Committee of the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment, and Agriculture and Environment Minister, violated Party regulations and State laws on performing assigned duties during his tenure as Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee, Secretary of the Party Civil Affairs Board, and Chairman of the People's Committee of Yen Bai province.
He breached the principle of democratic centralism, working regulations and the rules on the things that Party members are banned from doing, and on the responsibility for setting good examples. His actions led to serious consequences, triggered negative public opinion, and undermined the prestige of the local Party organisation and agency he had worked for.
In accordance with the Party’s regulations on disciplining members who commit violations, the Politburo decided to impose a disciplinary warning on Duy.
The State President issued Decision No. 1355/QD-CTN on the temporary suspension of Duy from the ministerial post for the 2021–2026 term, pending a vote by the 15th NA to formally remove him.
According to the announcement of the 12th plenum of the 13th Party Central Committee, the Party Central Committee agreed to let Duy to step down from his position as a member of the 13th Party Central Committee./.
