HÀ NỘI — The Party Central Committee’s Inspection Commission held its fifth meeting in Hà Nội on Wednesday under the chairmanship of Trần Sỹ Thanh, Politburo member, Secretary of the Party Central Committee and Chairman of the commission.

At the meeting, the commission reviewed and concluded on a number of matters.

It looked into reports proposing disciplinary action against Party organisations and members found to have committed violations at some local Party organisations and units, including the Airports Corporation of Vietnam and the Party organisation of Ninh Bình Province.

The commission concluded that several officials had committed violations. They are Vũ Thế Phiệt, member of the Government Party Committee, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Airports Corporation of Vietnam; Lại Xuân Thành, former Secretary of the Party Committee and former Chairman of the Board of Directors of Airports Corporation of Vietnam;

Nguyễn Tiến Việt, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee and Deputy General Director of Airports Corporation of Vietnam; and Lê Văn Hà, former member of the provincial Party Committee and former Secretary of the Party Committee of Lê Hồ Ward, Ninh Bình Province.

According to the commission, these individuals showed degradation in political ideology, morality and lifestyle, and violated Party regulations and State laws in the performance of their assigned duties, particularly in the prevention and combat of corruption, wastefulness and other negative practices.

They were also found to have breached the regulations on things that a Party member is banned to do, and responsibilities for setting an example. Their violations caused very serious consequences, adversely affecting the prestige of Party organisations as well as the localities, agencies and units where they worked, to the extent that disciplinary measures must be imposed.

Based on Party regulations, the commission decided to expel Lại Xuân Thành and Nguyễn Tiến Việt from the Party, and recommended that competent authorities consider disciplinary action against Vũ Thế Phiệt and Lê Văn Hà.

The commission will continue to inspect, review and handle other related Party organisations and members. — VNA/VNS
