Forced to resign a series of departmental leaders due to wrong appointment
Six deputy heads of departments and many civil servants in Thanh Hoa City had their transfer and appointment decisions revoked because they did not meet the standards.
Chairman of Thanh Hoa City People's Committee Le Anh Xuan has just signed a decision to cancel the reception and appointment of a series of officials that were not in accordance with regulations. Specifically, four deputy heads of the Department of Education and Training; Deputy Head of the Department of Culture and Information; Deputy Head of the Department of Internal Affairs and Deputy Head of the Department of Natural Resources and Environment were dismissed. These officials will be demoted to specialists or returned to their old work units.
In addition, seven other officials working in departments and offices under the Thanh Hoa City People's Committee also had their transfer decisions canceled and their transfer from civil servant to public employee category due to not meeting the standards.
Many cases of illegal appointments have been discovered in Thanh Hoa recently. |
In the case of Mr. Bui Quang Trung, Deputy Head of the Economic and Social Committee and Mr. Nguyen Le Hung, Deputy Head of the Legal Committee of the City People's Council, the competent authority will carry out the procedure of dismissal from office at the upcoming session of the City People's Council.
Chairman of Thanh Hoa City People's Committee Le Anh Xuan said that the Standing Committee of the City Party Committee is directing the Inspection Committee to review and handle the responsibilities of organizations and individuals who advised and proposed the reception and appointment of officials in violation of regulations, causing public backlash.
Previously, in 2015, Mr. Dao Trong Quy, former Chairman of the City People's Committee (currently Director of the Department of Natural Resources and Environment) appointed three experts from the Department of Education and Training as Deputy Head of the Department of Culture and Information, Deputy Head of the Department of Education and Training, and Deputy Head of the Department of Internal Affairs.
According to the authorities, when appointed, these officials had not been considered for transfer from civil servants to public employees and reported to the Provincial People's Committee according to regulations.
In 2014, Mr. Tran Van Xuan, Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Quang Hung Ward, was also appointed to the position of Deputy Head of the Department of Natural Resources and Environment without completing the process of transferring from a commune-level civil servant to a district-level civil servant and reporting to the competent authority as prescribed.
Cases of promotion (from civil servant or contract officer to public servant) and transfer to other positions were all carried out under the tenure of Mr. Dao Trong Quy as Chairman of the city.
