Corruption fight will continue, says senior official
Print Edition
A SENIOR Party official vowed to continue fighting corruption in a statement released yesterday.
Wang Qishan, secretary of the Party’s Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, said discipline agencies at all levels will carry on the fight against formalism, bureaucracy, hedonism and extravagance.
China will continue the ban on officials spending public money on expensive dinners, gifts and tours, visiting private clubs, as well as accepting gifts and money from their subordinates and persons of interest in any form, according to the statement.
Discipline inspection agencies will continue investigating and punishing officials who violate Party rules and laws, especially those embezzling public money, taking bribes, selling or buying government positions, bending laws for personal ends, living a corrupt lifestyle and failing to fulfil their duties, it said.
Senior officials will be under stricter scrutiny. Discipline agencies will double-check the information they are asked to report, mostly about their personal lives, including whether their spouses and children have emigrated.
The commission pledged to police its own officers, severely punish any corrupt ones and be open to supervision from other Party departments, the public and media.
Wang also pledged to deepen reform of the Party’s discipline supervision system.
The Party will streamline its discipline inspection system by granting more power to superior discipline inspection agencies, Wang said.
He called for a system which requires local discipline inspection agencies to give regular reports on their work to inspection agencies at higher levels.
The Party will also sharpen the efficiency of inspectors dispatched to provincial governments, big state-owned enterprises and public institutions to discover malpractice and harmful work styles, the commission said.
Last year, 10 teams of inspectors visited 20 provincial governments, big state-owned enterprises and public institutions, and came back with important information that helped bring down a number of corrupt officials.
The commission will accredit more inspection agencies to the Party and state organs at central level, Wang said.
