Some delegates suggested continuing to implement the Party’s resolution on strengthening the Party’s leadership of corruption prevention, as well as revising and supplementing legal documents on socio-economic management, especially in fields corruption often occurs and completing the draft law on corruption prevention.
Vice President of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Central Committee Ngo Sach Thuc said the law should have a mechanism that is strong enough to tackle weaknesses in the work.
Meanwhile, Government Inspector General Le Minh Khai said it is necessary to speed up administrative reform, and supplement regulations on the punishment of corrupt officials and public servants, including retired ones.
Deputy Minister of Public Security Le Quy Vuong requested the National Steering Committee on Anti-Corruption direct the Government Inspectorate and State Audit agencies to step up unannounced inspections and auditing over projects related to land and public investment, key projects and those reporting huge losses.
𒐪 When seeing signs of legal violations, these agencies should work with the Ministry of Public Security’s investigation unit to minimise State asset losses, and prevent related suspects from escaping, destroying evidence and dispersing property, Vuong added.-VNA
