The situation, however,remains complex, with sophisticated acts that are hard to detect, it said.

Corruption caseshave been found in larger numbers in sectors such as land management and use,infrastructure construction, banking and credit, and the management and use offinance, budget, capital, and public assets.

In an appraisalreport, head of the NA Committee for Judicial Affairs Le Thi Nga suggestedthe Government review the situation and put forth effective solutions, which, shesaid, should match the latest circumstances.

At the meeting,Pham Van Hoa, a deputy from the Mekong Delta province of Dong Thap, said the fightagainst corruption has produced marked outcomes, helping raise confidence amongofficials, Party members, and the people.
