2 top Party officials sacked for serious violations
Print Edition
TWO senior Chinese officials have been removed from office for “serious discipline and law violations.”
They are Zhu Mingguo, chair of the Guangdong Provincial Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, and Sui Fengfu, deputy head of the Standing Committee of the Heilongjiang Provincial People’s Congress.
The violations and the removal were confirmed by the Communist Party of China Central Committee Organization Department yesterday.
The CPC disciplinary watchdog had said on Friday that Zhu was put under investigation. Zhu had held the post of the official in charge of political and legal affairs of the CPC Chongqing Municipal Committee between 2002 and 2006.
A day earlier, the watchdog had also confirmed that Sui was under probe. He was Party chief of the Heilongjiang Provincial State-owned Farms Administrative Bureau.
The northeastern province is China’s biggest grain production base.
Meanwhile, more than 80,000 officials have been disciplined for corruption as of late September, according to a statement the disciplinary watchdog.
The figure was revealed in the latest statement of the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI), issued ahead of the second anniversary of the “eight-point” anti-bureaucracy and formalism ruling.
The campaign started on December 4, 2012 to reduce pomp, ceremony, bureaucracy and undesirable work styles.
The statement said some 38,000 officials had been punished for violations such as dereliction of duty.
While the remainder were found to be responsible for the indiscreet use of public vehicles; using public funds for personal entertainment; lazy work styles; and accepting gifts.
The majority, some 78,767, of those disciplined were lower ranking officials, while two ministerial level officials were also slapped with disciplinary penalties.
Over the last two years, disciplinary watchdogs at all levels have maintained momentum to ensure offenders are named and shamed, which serves as a deterrent to others, according to the statement.
