Spending warning ahead of holidays
Print Edition
A SENIOR disciplinary official has issued a stern warning against corruption and extravagance ahead of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
While praising efforts so far, Song Dajun, deputy chief of the Party’s work style supervision office under the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection said: “The root is still there even though the tree has fallen.”
Song, speaking during an online interview made public on the commission’s website yesterday, called on supervisory organs to be extra vigilant ahead of and during the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holidays.
It is customary to hold banquets and give gifts, usually the sweet or savory-filled pastries known as mooncakes, during the festival, which falls on September 27 this year. The commission is concerned that the festivals will be used as a cover for bribery.
Yesterday it unveiled a new form on its website, inviting the public to report excessive spending by officials during the upcoming festivities.
Violators will be named and shamed in a weekly report on the website from September 16.
In 2012, the Party leadership issued the “eight-point” anti-bureaucracy and extravagance guidelines, and later initiated a campaign to clean up four undesirable work styles — formalism, bureaucracy, hedonism and extravagance — among Party members.
“The pressure must be maintained to deter and prevent relapses,” Song said.
