City plans to ensure officials ‘won’t dare’ to be tempted by corruption
Print Edition
SHANGHAI will work out an effective mechanism to ensure officials “dare not, cannot and won’t want to corrupt.”
The local party discipline inspection commission added in a report yesterday at the city’s 11th Party Congress that it would maintain its supervision and scrutiny of Party members to prevent corruption.
The report, which both summarized the commission’s work over the past five years and set goals for the next five, was reviewed by congress delegates.
The enforcement of decisions and arrangements of the Party Central Committee and the Shanghai Committee will be given priority.
The commission will also deepen inspection against four kinds of work styles — formalism, bureaucratism, hedonism and extravagance — and problems in these four areas will take precedence over other problems with regard to violations.
As well as maintaining focus on matters such as using public funds on banquets, travel and gifts, greater efforts will be made to curb issues like inappropriate behavior — for example inaction, slow action or selective action.
The commission found 809 cases of violation against eight austerity rules that were introduced in 2012. As a result, 1,367 responsible people were punished, including 67 bureau-level officials, said the report.
Daily supervision of officials will also be strengthened, especially with regard to whether they and their relatives are running businesses, taking part-time jobs and concealing personal information that should be declared.
Since 2015, about 1,800 officials have declared family information and 180 were found with “problems,” whose family members then quit their enterprises, said Leng Weiqing, deputy director of the organizational department of the Party committee, in an earlier news conference.
Rooting out corruption of grass-roots officials will also be intensified to ensure residents can see the “sensible achievements” of the Party’s efforts in self-discipline.
The commission will especially focus on problems concerning plundering and embezzlement in land acquisition, management of public fund, properties and resources in the countryside, as well as those involving bullying and oppressing residents.
A new round of inspection tours will be launched around the end of year, said Peng Chenlei, deputy secretary of the commission. In the past five years, the commission has carried out 15 rounds of inspection tours in 271 enterprises and found 2,644 problems, according to the report.
It raised 1,198 suggestions for rectification and 5,809 people were punished with job relocations, criticism and rectification, while more than 10 million yuan (US$1.45 million) of funds were returned.
