HÀ NỘI — The Party Central Committee’s Inspection Commission has reached conclusions on violations committed by incumbent and former officials of central Khánh Hòa Province and decided on disciplinary measures for others from the southern province of Đồng Nai's Department of Public Security.
The commission said on Friday that it held the 38th meeting in Hà Nội recently.
During the meeting, it found that the Standing Board of Khánh Hòa Province’s Party Committee and the Party unit of the provincial People’s Committee had violated the principle of democratic centralism and lacked responsibility, leadership, examination and monitoring. As a result, they caused many serious violations and shortcomings in land management and the implementation of construction projects, along with infringements of Party and State regulations and laws on land and forest allotment and leasing, bidding, investment, planning, construction, finance and taxation.
These offences have led to “very serious consequences” and caused “very big losses” to the State’s assets and budget, according to the commission.
Lê Thanh Quang, member of the Party Central Committee and Secretary of the Khánh Hòa provincial Party Committee, must bear the main responsibility for the violations and shortcomings of the province's Party Committee, the commission concluded.
Lê Đức Vinh, Vice Secretary of the provincial Party Committee, Secretary of the Party unit and Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee and Nguyễn Chiến Thắng, former Vice Secretary of the provincial Party Committee, former Secretary of the Party unit and former Chairman of the provincial Party Committee, also share responsibility and are to be blamed for the violations and shortcomings of the  Standing Board of the provincial Party Committee and the Party unit of the provincial People’s Committee, it added.
Both Trần Sơn Hải, former member of the Standing Board of the provincial Party Committee, former Vice Secretary of the Party unit and former Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee and Đào Công Thiên, member of the provincial Party Committee, member of the Party unit and Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee, are responsible for the violations and shortcomings of the Standing Board of the provincial Party Committee and the Party unit of the provincial People’s Committee. They also hold personal responsibility for the poor performance of their assigned duties.
The Inspection Commission said the violations by the Standing Board of the Khánh Hòa Party Committee, the Party unit of the provincial People’s Committee and the aforementioned people have affected the prestige of the local Party committees and administration so severely and stirred public concern so much that disciplinary measures against them must be considered.
During the meeting, the commission also discussed disciplinary measures for the Standing Board of the Party unit of the Đồng Nai provincial Department of Public Security and some individuals, whose violations were pointed out at the 37th meeting of the commission.
It decided to dismiss Col. Lý Quang Dũng, former member of the Standing Board of the Party unit and former Deputy Director of the department, from the post of member of the Standing Board for the 2015-20 tenure.
Warnings were issued against Maj. Gen. Nguyễn Văn Khánh, former member of the Standing Board of the provincial Party Committee, former Secretary of the Party unit and former Director of the department; Col. Trần Thị Ngọc Thuận, Vice Secretary of the Party unit and Deputy Director of the department; Col. Ngô Minh Đức, former Vice Secretary of the Party unit and former Director of the department; Col. Nguyễn Văn Kim, member of the provincial Party Committee, member of the Standing Board of the Party unit and Deputy Director of the department; and Col. Nguyễn Xuân Kim, former member of the Standing Board of the Party unit and former Deputy Director of the department.
The Inspection Commission also proposed the Party Central Committee’s Secretariat consider disciplinary measures against Col. Huỳnh Tiến Mạnh, member of the Standing Board of the Đồng Nai provincial Party Committee, Secretary of the Party unit and Director of the provincial Department of Public Security and Hồ Văn Năm, member of the Standing Board and head of the internal affairs division of the provincial Party Committee. It also asked the Standing Board of Đồng Nai province’s Party Committee to give penalties to the standing boards of the Party units of the provincial Department of Public Security for the 2010-15 and 2015-20 tenures. — VNS
