Official suspended after student son given a job

A FINANCE official in Hubei Province has been suspended after he managed to get a government job for his university-going son, who never reported to work.

If that was not enough, the youngster even managed to get promoted while pocketing the monthly salary as well.

Luo Shiqun, vice director of Xiangzhou District Finance Bureau in Xiangyang City, is now charged with abuse of power, while his son, Luo Qinyang, has been dismissed.

The young Luo landed the job when he just graduated from high school and was preparing to attend university. He was first enrolled in the non-tax income bureau, affiliated to the finance bureau, where he was eventually promoted.

And all this, while he was still a student at the university.

The payroll records showed that he was paid a monthly 1,410 yuan (US$226.7) in 2011 and 2,191 yuan in 2012.

Xiangzhou's discipline and supervision bureau confirmed the case, according to the People's Daily website.

Initial investigation found that Luo Qinyang took part in the national college entrance exams in June 2009 and went to the university three months later. But he was recruited for the job as early as July.
