Hanoi (VNA) – Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has decided to discipline two former chairmen of the People’s Committee of the central province of Quang Ngai for their wrongdoings while performing duties.
Under the June 19 discipline decisions, Le Viet Chu was relieved of the posts of Chairman and Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee. Meanwhile, Cao Khoa was relived of the position of Chairman of the People’s Committee.
Both had received Party disciplines from the Party Central Committee’s Secretariat.
On March 27, the Investigation Police Agency under the Ministry of Public Security started legal proceedings against and detained Chu, former Vice Chairman and former Chairman of the People’s Committee, and former Secretary of the provincial Party Committee.
The agency said he was arrested for “receiving bribes,” elaborating that the man received money from Nguyen Van Hau to facilitate Phuc Son Group JSC winning the bidding package for the construction of the main route of the road project along the southern part of the Tra Khuc River, Quang Ngai province.
On March 3, the ministry also did the same with Khoa, former Chairman of the People’s Committee, for the same charge./.
