Hanoi (VNA) – The Government Inspectorate ofVietnam reported that the inspection sector discovered economic irregularitiesinvolving more than 59.4 trillion VND (2.63 billion USD) and 4,000ha of land in2016.

At the inspection sector’s review meeting inHanoi on January 11, the agency said the sector conducted 6,586 administrativeinspections and 252,592 specialised inspections and examinations in 2016.

More than 90 cases involving 138 persons were transferred toinvestigation agencies last year.

Meanwhile, state administrative agencies at alllevels handled 23,397 of the 27,164 complaint and denunciation cases, or 86.1percent, under their jurisdiction, up 2.1 percent from 2015. Inspection bodiesalso uncovered 30 corruption cases involving 60 people.

Addressing the meeting, Deputy Prime MinisterTruong Hoa Binh said the inspection sector fulfilled the political taskassigned by the Party and State with all-faceted improvements in itsperformance. That has helped to promote the state management’s effectiveness, strengthenthe rule of law, and ensure political security and social order and safety.

He also pointed out flaws, noting that someinspections failed to make proper conclusions or receive in-depth opinions frominspection specialists. The settlement of complaints remained slow, and manyagencies still passed the buck among one another. The handling of outstandingand complex cases was delayed, and the discovery and handling of corruptionthrough inspection was ineffective, he said, adding that corruption is spreadingand growing more serious.

Binh told the inspection sector to work harderto detect and handle law violations, timely propose amendments to statemanagement activities, better deal with complaints and denunciations, andactively engage in corruption fight.

It should focus specialised inspections on suchfields as land use and management, financial institutions with high bad debt,and state management of education and training. The sector needs to step upadministrative reforms and improve its staff’s capacity.

The Deputy PM also asked other sectors,ministries and local administrations to pay more heed to inspection works,complaint and denunciation settlement, and corruption fight.-VNA
