Some officials 鈥榥ot corrupt, but indolent and sloppy鈥
Print Edition
China still faces challenges in rooting out corruption, according to He Zengke, director of the China Center for Comparative Politics and Economics.
Speaking at meetings to advise Sri Lankan officials on China鈥檚 politics, economy, ecology and global affairs, he said that while many officials were keeping their behavior in check, underperformance remained an issue.
鈥淪ome officials are clean but incapable,鈥 He said. 鈥淭hey are not greedy or corrupt, but indolent and sloppy.鈥
He also said that 鈥渂alancing the anti-corruption campaign with guaranteeing the rights of officials鈥 was a top concern.
It was not enough to have clean politics. 鈥淎 government which is clean but not capable will miss those precious opportunities for development,鈥 he said.
Officials who accept bribes must be punished, while those who are competent should be encouraged and promoted.
He proposed that the salaries of public servants be increased to reduce temptation, and that laws be enacted to protect informers.
The inspection system and public participation have been integral to the anti-corruption drive, he said.
鈥淧arty committees send inspection groups to subordinate organizations to investigate, interview and receive reports and complaints about behavior or problems that are illegal or against the rules,鈥 he said.
鈥淭he government has also focused on extraditing fugitive officials, and enhanced the implementation of laws and the Party code of conduct.鈥
This year alone, China鈥檚 Operation Skynet has repatriated 863 officials.
He said 139 high-ranking officials, provincial level officials or Army commanders and above, had been implicated in corrupt behavior between 2012 and November this year.
鈥淭he leaders have demonstrated their strong will and determination in fighting corruption. No one enjoys impunity."
