Hanoi (VNA) – The Politburo on November 15 decided to issue warnings as disciplinary measures against the Standing Board of the Quang Ninh provincial Party Committee in the 2020–2025 term and the Standing Board of the Dak Lak provincial Party Committee in the 2015–2020 tenure.
This disciplinary measures were also imposed on former member of the Party Central Committee and former Secretary of the Quang Ninh provincial Party Committee Nguyen Xuan Ky; and member of the Party Central Committee and former Secretary of the Dak Lak provincial Party Committee Bui Van Cuong.
The warnings were issued for Ky and Cuong for their serious violations of the Party's regulations and the State's laws in carrying out their assigned duties, particularly their failure to combat corruption and other negative phenomena. These actions contravened not only the Party's rules on the things that Party members must not do but also the responsibility of setting an example, causing severe consequences and risks of great losses and waste of State funds and assets, as well as significant damage to public trust and the prestige of local Party organisations and authorities.
The Standing Board of the Quang Ninh provincial Party Committee for the 2020–2025 term was found to have violated the principle of democratic centralism, Party regulations and working procedures. Their lack of responsibility and lax leadership led to serious breaches by the Party Civil Affair Board of the provincial People’s Committee and other organisations and individuals in the implementation of construction bidding package No. 13 and the riverside road project by the Thuan An Group JSC.
Meanwhile, the Standing Board of the Dak Lak provincial Party Committee for the 2015–2020 tenure was implicated in similar violations related to the construction bidding package No. 3 of the Ho Chi Minh Road’s eastern bypass project in Buon Ma Thuot city, also carried out by the Thuan An Group JSC, and in the management of several solar energy projects./.
