Inspection Commission convenes 26th meeting

Hanoi (VNA) – The Party Central Committee’s Inspection Commission convened the 26th meeting in Hanoi from February 20-21 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 Party delegation to the Bac Giang provincial People’s Committee violated the principle of democratic centralism and working regulations. They also showed a lack of responsibility and lax leadership and direction, making it easier for the provincial People's Committee and several organizations and individuals to violate the Party's regulations and State laws in the purchase, management, and use of biological products, chemicals, medical materials and equipment. Their acts posed a high risk of substantial loss of the State budget, causing public concern and damaging the reputation of the local Party Committee and authorities.

It held that the Party delegation to the Bac Giang provincial People’s Committee for the 2021-2026 tenure, the Party Committees of the provincial Department of Health and Department of Finance for the 2020-2025 tenure; Le Anh Duong, Vice Secretary of the provincial Party Committee, Secretary of the Party delegation to the provincial People's Committee and Chairman of the provincial People's Committee; Phan The Tuan, member of the provincial Party Committee, member of the Party delegation to the provincial People’s Committee and Vice Chairman of the provincial People's Committee; Tu Quoc Hieu, member of the provincial Party Committee and Director of the Department of Health; and Nguyen Dinh Hieu, member of the provincial Party Committee and Director of the Department of Finance bear responsibility for these violations.

Therefore, the commission decided to reprimand the Party delegation to the Bac Giang provincial People’s Committee for the 2021-2026 tenure, the Party Committee of the provincial Department of Finance for the 2020-2025 tenure, Le Anh Duong, Phan The Tuan and Nguyen Dinh Hue as a disciplinary measure.

A warning was also given to the Party Committee of the provincial Health Department for the 2020-2025 tenure and its Director Tu Quoc Hieu.

Also at the meeting, the commission asked the Party Central Committee’s Secretariat to consider disciplinary measures against Ha Cong The, former member of the Party Committee of Hoa Binh province and former Secretary of the Party Committee of the province’s Mai Chau district; Nguyen Xuan Thanh, member of the Party Committee of Bac Ninh province and Director of the provincial Department of Natural Resources and Environment; and Nguyen Van Hai, former member of the Party Committee of Bac Ninh province, former Secretary of the Party Committee and former Director of the provincial Department of Finance.

They showed degradation in political ideology, morality and lifestyle, violated the things Party members are not allowed to do and the responsibility to set an example; violated the Party's regulations and the State's laws in the management and use of land, and in the performance of assigned responsibilities and tasks, causing very serious consequences, stirring public outrage, adversely affecting the prestige of Party organizations and local authorities.

The commission also considered disciplinary measures against Bui Hong Minh, member of the Party delegation to the Ministry of Construction and Deputy Minister of Construction, former member of the standing board of the Party Committee of the Central Enterprises Bloc, former Secretary of the Party Committee, former Chairman of the Members' Council and former General Director of the Vietnam Cement Industry Corporation; and the standing board of the Party Committee of the Vietnam Cement Industry Corporation for the 2015-2020 tenure.

The standing boards of the Party Committees of Vinh Phuc, Nghe An, and Ben Tre provinces were urged to fix their shortcomings and report the results to the Inspection Commission./.
