Identifying the responsibility of nominators has beenconsidered a key in personnel work to select qualified officials to theapparatus.
Prior to each National Party Congress, what concernsofficials, Party members and people most is how to prevent lobbying for position, power, andpersonnel planning and rotation which roots from a degradation in politicalideology and morality among a contingent of officials and Party members.
A lot of work needs to be done to select persons withboth talents and ethics to leadership and management posts at different levels.However, many said it requires clear regulations on the responsibility ofnominators.
Nguyen Tuc, head of the Vietnam Fatherland FrontCentral Committee’s consultation council for cultural-social affairs, pointedto a number of officials growing rich “unexpectedly” but unable to declare theirassets, which has raised public concerns over the origins of their wealth.
There are also officials who sign unqualifiedappointment decisions only few months ahead of their retirement, he said,stressing the need to identify the responsibility of nominators.
Nominators have to take responsibility and be punishedif nominees are not eligible, Tuc stressed.
Echoing Tuc’s views, Le Thanh Van, permanent memberof the National Assembly’s Finance - Budget Committee, said nominators must knowwell the talents and ethics of nominees and the nomination should not be drivenby private relations or lobbying.
The problem lies with how to separate individual andcollective responsibility, she said.
In an article on issues of special concern inpersonnel preparations for the 13th National Party Congress, PartyGeneral Secretary and President Nguyen Phu Trong said the personnel work mustbe a strict, scientific and consistent process in order to ensure objectivityand democracy in the nomination and identification of the responsibility ofrelevant individuals and collectives.
Associate Prof. Dr. Bui Dinh Phong, from the Instituteof Ho Chi Minh and Party Leaders under the Ho Chi Minh National Academy ofPolitics, said the word “responsibility” must be repeated in the time ahead.
The conscience of nominators is the most important, hesaid, adding that they must work for the nation and people.
Those who have knowledge, mettle and responsibility for the people would nominate good candidates, he emphasised.
Many others stressed the need to pay attention tobuilding and perfecting relevant regulations and mechanisms, promote the roleof fatherland front, political-social organisations and people in this regard,and step up inspections and supervision of organisations and Party members inrealising these regulations./.
