Supervision reform spreading nationwide
Print Edition
CHINA’S new supervisory commissions will incorporate existing supervisory, corruption prevention and control agencies within governments and procuratorates, according to a decision adopted by the top legislature on Saturday.
A pilot project of reforming the supervision system, launched in Beijing and the provinces of Shanxi and Zhejiang in January, will be expanded nationwide, according to the decision adopted at the bi-monthly session of the National People’s Congress.
Supervisory commissions will be set up across the country by people’s congresses at provincial, city and county levels within their jurisdiction to supervise those exercising public power, according to the decision.
The commissions will be in charge of three major duties — supervision, investigation and punishment.
They will supervise public functionaries’ execution of duty and ethics; investigate illegal activities such as corruption, misuse of authority, neglect of duty and wasting public funds; issue administrative penalties; and transfer suspected criminal cases to the procuratorates.
The decision also specified a series of means that could be used in carrying out those duties, including inquiry, search, freezing assets and detention.
Some regulations of relevant laws, such as the laws on administrative supervision and criminal procedure, would be temporary adjusted or suspended during the reform.
Lawmakers also adopted a decision to temporarily adjust the laws of national defense and armed police to facilitate reform of the armed police force.
