Official fired after videos show his second family
THE deputy secretary-general of Zhanjiang City in Guangdong Province has been removed from his post after local Party discipline watchdog confirmed online allegations about his having a mistress and a second child in violation of China's one-child policy.
Zhanjiang's Party discipline inspection committee confirmed the online allegations against Deng Wengao and also opened a graft investigation in his case, Yangcheng Evening News reported yesterday. The discipline watchdog released no other details.
Deng's only response, the paper reported, was to say, "You can go around and know the real me."
A microblogger identified as Meiriqing made the allegations against Deng last Thursday and posted two video clips.
The videos claimed to show an apartment on an August morning and on an October night, showing Deng preparing to go to work and "a family of three" returning to the home. The child appearing on the video was that of Deng's mistress, wrote Meiriqing, who also alleged Deng bought the flat in June 2009 under the name of his mistress.
The 44-year-old Deng, a native of Jiangxi Province, was promoted to deputy secretary-general of Zhanjiang in March.
Internet users called it another victory for online muckraking, seen as a potent weapon for fighting official corruption and abuse of power.
In October, Cai Bin, a senior urban management official in Guangdong's capital Guangzhou, was sacked after it was revealed online that he owned 21 properties worth 40 million yuan (US$6.4 million).
