He is being held responsible for violations and shortcomings at the Transport Ministry’s Party Civil Affairs Committee during his terms of office as deputy minister and head of the ministry’s Steering Committee for Enterprise Reform and Development.
He is personally accountable for his decisions approving the corporate valuation, equitisation plans, and State capital divestment strategies of a number of enterprises under the ministry’s authority, as well as for suggesting the approval of equitisation plans, which was beyond his mandate./.
