Deputy Prime Minister Lê Minh Khái has recently signed Decision No. 390/QĐ-TTg approving a project to build a national database on asset and income, aiming to promote digitalisation and modernisation in the management of assets and incomes.

A major shortcoming that has been, for years, hampering the country’s effort to fight corruption is the lack of a dedicated agency to monitor and investigate assets amassed by government officials, said the head of Government Inspectorate Lê Minh Khái during the National Assembly’s Judicial Affairs Committee plenary season held on Monday in Hà Nội.
