County building in Anhui disguised to avoid accusation of waste
Online Edition
A county government building in east China’s Anhui Province has no nameplate on the façade because officials were afraid the fancy building would cause complaints about excessive official spending, a newspaper story said today.
The report in New Express did not disclose which county’s building it was, and did not describe the building except to call it luxurious. It said there were no signs or other identifying marks to show what its function is, and local residents queried about it said they didn’t know government officials work there, the report said.
The building was built under the name of a business center, the report said.
Some regional governments built office buildings that were classified as training or institutional centers to avoid scrutiny of higher authorities, said Jia Kang, director with Research Institute of Fiscal Science of the Ministry of Finance.
Some officials also use new office buildings as a chance to profiteer and to cite the new facilities as an accomplishment of their tenure, the report said.
