HÀ NỘI — Party General Secretary Nguyễn Phú Trọng has requested a prompt examination of news stories run by several newspapers regarding Hồ Thị Kim Thoa, the Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade.
The Office of the Party Central Committee on Thursday sent a dispatch to the Party Central Committee’s Commissions for Inspection, Organisation and Internal Affairs; the Party Delegations to the Government, the Government Inspectorate and the ministries of Industry and Trade, Finance and Planning and Investment, requiring them to work together on the task and report the outcomes to the Party Central Committee’s Secretariat.
According to the dispatch, Nhân Dân (People) newspaper ran an article “On asset filing by Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade Hồ Thị Kim Thoa” on February 11; while Tuổi Trẻ (Youth) newspaper wrote a story “Deputy Minister Hồ Thị Kim Thoa owns assets worth of hundreds of billion đồng” on February 11 and the other “What does Deputy Minister’s family have in Điện Quang company?”. Tiền Phong (Vanguard) also published articles on February 14, 15, 16 calling for inspections on stock acquisition and control of officials’ family ties to prevent power abuse.
Several other papers also raised the issue.
The Party Delegation to the Government was asked to direct concerned agencies to review legal regulations and propose necessary amendments and supplements, in order to fix shortcomings in State management, prevent State asset loss and negative phenomena, including corruption and interest group behaviours in the process of equitising State-owned enterprises. — VNA
