He flouted the Party’sregulations when accepting nomination for the chair of the SponsoringAssociation for Poor Patients in the Southwest. Quang also used the name of theSteering Committee to mobilize donations for the association without permissionfrom relevant agencies, which was outside the committee’s functions and tasks.

Considering that Quang’smistakes and wrongdoings had caused serious consequences and negative impactson the prestige of the Party and the Southwest Steering Committee, the PartyCentral Committee’s Secretariat decided to dismiss him from all his Party posts,which are standing vice chairman of the Southwest Steering Committee, member ofthe Party committee of the Southwest Steering Committee and secretary of theParty committee of the Southwest Steering Committee’s office.

Dung showed a lack ofresponsibility and lax management without proper supervision and inspection,resulting in mistakes and wrongdoings in personnel work and the management ofVinachem’s capital, assets, land and investment with serious consequences,including loss of State capital.

His negligence in supervisionand inspection has allowed serious wrongdoings to happen in the implementationof four key projects, which are the Ninh Binh nitrate fertilizer plant, theexpansion of Ha Bac nitrate fertilizer plant, the DAP fertilizer plant No2 inLao Cai and the DAP fertilizer plant in Hai Phong.

Taking into account theseriousness of Dung’s mistakes, the Secretariat reached consensus in dismissingDung from all Party posts, including his membership in the Party committee ofthe Central Business Bloc, and secretary of the Party committee of Vinachem.
