HÀ NỘI — A former senior official with the Vietnam National Petroleum Group (Petrolimex) is to be investigated for bad management.

The Inspection Commission of the Party Central Committee has proposed taking disciplinary measures Bùi Ngọc Bảo for violations by the group’s Standing Board of the Party Committee.

The announcement was revealed at the commission’s 40th session last week and announced on Thursday.

Bảo, former member of the Standing Board of the Party Committee of the Central Business Bloc, former secretary of the Petrolimex Party Committee, former chairman of the Petrolimex Board of Directors and former Petrolimex director general, bears the main responsibility for violations and wrongdoings.

It concluded that the Standing Board shown a lack of responsibility and slackened its leadership, supervision and inspection, letting the group violate the Party’s regulations and the State’s laws on personnel work, capital and asset management and use, and petroleum business activities.

It is also accused of losing money and property for the State over equitisation, restructuring and State capital divestment and the implementation of some construction projects.

At the 40th session, the commission also proposed disciplinary measures against the group’s Standing Board of the Party Committee for the 2010-15 tenure.

Disciplinary measures were also proposed against other Petrolimex officials for violations. The commission proposed stripping Nguyễn Quang Tuấn, former member of the Party Committee and former chairman and director of Petrolimex Singapore, of all his Party posts.

The commission also issued a warning against Trần Văn Thịnh, who was the former deputy secretary of the Party Committee and former general director of Petrolimex, and reprimanded Trần Minh Hải, deputy secretary of the Standing Board of the group’s Party Committee, and Nguyễn Thanh Sơn, deputy general director of Petrolimex.

At the session, the Party Central Committee’s Inspection Commission asked inspection commissions of northern Hưng Yên and Nam Định provinces to investigate land management and use in public investment projects and in purchase of public assets.

Relating to the inspection results of the implementation of disciplinary measures against some officials of northern Hòa Bình Province and Central Highlands Kon Tum Province, the commission decided to reconsider the disciplinary measures as they failed to match with the level of their violations. — VNS
