Call made to strengthen anti-graft drive
Print Edition
The Communist Party鈥檚 anti-graft watchdog has demanded greater efforts to uncover corruption cases at the grass-roots level and penalize offenders.
Huang Shuxian, deputy head of the Party鈥檚 Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, ordered closer inspections by the commission during graft busts at a Tuesday work conference on fighting corruption.
After bringing down a number of high-level officials, known as 鈥渢igers鈥 in the anti-corruption drive, China is zeroing in on lower-level 鈥渇lies鈥 who serve at the grass-roots level.
Cai Xia, professor with the Party School of the Party鈥檚 Central Committee, said after the downfall of 鈥渢igers鈥 it is natural to focus on lower-level officials.
Misconduct by officials at the grass-roots level has a more direct impact on people鈥檚 lives, Cai said.
Corruption at the community level mainly involves land appropriation and transfers, allocation of farmers鈥 subsidies, and the management of poverty reduction funds and subsistence allowances, Huang said, citing cases investigated by the CCDI.
Corruption and inappropriate work styles by low-level officials jeopardize the Party鈥檚 relationship with the public, Huang added.
By handling the cases, the CCDI has sent a strong signal to local Party committees and graft watchdogs, urging them to uncover corruption at the grass-roots level, Huang said.
Additionally, discipline inspectors face harsh punishment if caught covering for corrupt officials, according to Huang.
In May, a number of corruption cases involving village- or township-level officials were reported.
In a case reported by Ningde City in Fujian Province on May 11, village official Chen Qingyu in Jiaocheng District pocketed 1.72 million yuan (US$277,000) from illegal sales of collectively owned land.
Shuozhou City in Shanxi Province revealed six corruption cases on May 22, all involving village officials.
