Secretary Nguyen Thien Nhan admits shortcomings when many officials are disciplined

“On behalf of the Standing Committee of the City Party Committee, I acknowledge these shortcomings and shortcomings. The City Party Committee will resolutely overcome them and notify the City People's Council,” said Secretary of the City Party Committee Nguyen Thien Nhan at the 6th session of the 9th term Ho Chi Minh City People's Council on the morning of December 4 about the disciplinary actions of many officials.

Previously, at the 15th Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee Conference, the Standing Committee of the City Party Committee considered disciplining Mr. Le Trong Hieu, Deputy Head of the City Party Committee's Mass Mobilization Commission, former District Party Committee Secretary and Chairman of District 7 People's Committee. He was disciplined with a warning.

Since June, there have been four collectives that the Standing Committee of the Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee has decided to discipline according to its authority, including: the Standing Committee of the Party Committee of the Department of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs for the 2010-2015 and 2015-2020 terms; the Standing Committee of the Party Committee of the Central Industrial Enterprises Bloc in Ho Chi Minh City for the 2010-2015 and 2015-2020 terms; the Standing Committee of the Party Committee of the Ministry of Construction's grassroots bloc in Ho Chi Minh City for the 2015-2020 term and related to violations of land management and construction order in Binh Thuan Ward, District 7.

In these organizations, 15 individuals involved also received various forms of discipline ranging from reprimand to warning, and were removed from all positions in the Party. Among these officials were those who had held the positions of secretary and director.

Regarding the situation of a series of disciplined officials, speaking at the 6th session of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Council, Mr. Nguyen Thien Nhan said that there are still some weaknesses, lack of responsibility, and corruption at different levels, but most of them have not been self-discovered but have been reported by the people.

“On behalf of the Standing Committee of the City Party Committee, I acknowledge these shortcomings and shortcomings. The City Party Committee will resolutely overcome them and notify the City People's Council,” Mr. Nhan said before many officials were disciplined.

Mr. Nhan believes that Ho Chi Minh City still has many people with heart, virtue and talent, so these people must be promoted. "If the heads of agencies and units do not meet the requirements of the job, their work must be rearranged," Mr. Nhan said.
