HÀ NỘI — A senior Party official has been reprimanded for allowing fraud to occur under his watch.
The Political Bureau of the Communist Party of Việt Nam (CPV) gave an official warning to Trần Quốc Cường, member of the CPV Central Committee and Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of Đắk Lắk Province.
The decision was made at a meeting of the Politburo in Hà Nội on Wednesday and Thursday chaired by General Secretary of the CPV Central Committee Nguyễn Phú Trọng.
According to the CPV Central Committee’s Inspection Commission, Cường was found responsible for violations when holding the position as Secretary of the Party Committee, Director of the Department of Politics-Logistics and Deputy General Director of General Directorate V under the Ministry of Public Security during 2009-12.
He signed unlawful documents relating to the general directorate’s Hà Nội-based Đại Kim housing project. This helped create loopholes which were taken advantage of by his inferiors to commit fraud and property appropriation.
During the meeting, the Politburo also discussed reports for submission to the upcoming seventh plenary meeting of the 12th Party Central Committee.
The reports focus on building a contingent of cadres with adequate virtues, capabilities and prestige for their tasks, reforming social insurance policies and salary reforms for officials, public servants, officers in the armed forces and employees. — VNS
