Stronger measures called for in battle against corruption
Deputy Prime Minister Truong Vinh Trong,
who is also the Deputy Director of the Central Steering Board for
Anti-Corruption, has asked the staff at the Board's Office to be
proactive in initiating measure to help combat corruption.
Addressing a meeting to review the office's activities during 2010 and
discuss plans for 2011 in the capital city Jan. 24, Trong said
achievements made by the office last year were an important element that
helped the office enhance its image and fight against corruption
nationwide.
"To uphold an anti-corruption spirit, you
should closely follow suspected corruption cases, particularly serious
and complex ones and then come up with effective proposals to handle
them," said Trong.
He also asked the office to work
closely with ministries, sectors and localities to make sure their 2011
anti-corruption plans would be well executed, including a communication
campaign that aims to raise people's awareness.
The office
is also expected in 2011 to expand its international relations
concerning anti-corruption, implement the UN Act against Corruption,
push the National Anti-Corruption Strategy and continue other activities
that are in line with the Resolution adopted at the 11th National Party
Congress.
In 2010, the Office advised the Central
Steering Board for Anti-Corruption. It presented 27 complex, serious
corruption cases to the Board. These cases were highlighted so that
similar cases in the future will be given appropriate attention.
Thirteen cases will be handled by the National Steering Board and the 14
others by the Office. /.
