This afternoon, the Central Committee will review and discipline officials.

According to the scheduled program, this afternoon, the Central Committee will conduct a review of disciplinary action against officials.

Specifically, according to the 9th Central Conference program, this morning, the Central Committee will hold a separate meeting to announce the results of the vote of confidence that was conducted yesterday afternoon.

Next, Mr. Pham Minh Chinh - Head of the Central Organizing Committee, will read the report on the planning of the Party Central Committee for the 2021 - 2026 term. After studying the documents in the group, late this morning, the Central Committee will introduce the personnel planning for the 13th term.

In the closing session this afternoon, the Central Committee will consider disciplinary action against officials, question and answer questions, and pass the conference resolution. The 9th Central Committee Conference is also expected to close this afternoon.

One of the officials who may be subject to disciplinary action this time is Mr. Tat Thanh Cang - Standing Deputy Secretary of the Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee.

Previously, at the 32nd meeting in early December, the Central Inspection Committee proposed that the Politburo and the Central Executive Committee consider and take disciplinary action against Mr. Tat Thanh Cang according to their authority due to violations previously concluded by the Central Inspection Committee.

Specifically, the Central Inspection Committee concluded: Mr. Tat Thanh Cang violated the principle of democratic centralism and working regulations, violated the authority, principles, and procedures for handling work, violated the regulations of the City Party Committee on management and use of assets at enterprises owned by the Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee (City) and legal regulations in deciding on business cooperation policies, project transfers, and land use rights transfers of enterprises under the City Party Committee, approving the policy for the representative of the City Party Committee's capital to vote on issuing shares to strategic shareholders at enterprises; lacked responsibility, loosened leadership and direction, lacked inspection and supervision, and allowed the assigned field to have many violations of the law, causing great damage to the City Party Committee's budget.

In addition, during his tenure as a member of the City Party Committee, member of the City People's Committee, and Director of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Transport, Mr. Tat Thanh Cang violated the law on land and construction investment management in signing the decision to approve the project and initialing the contract for the investment project to build four main roads in the Thu Thiem New Urban Area.

According to the assessment of the Central Inspection Committee, "Mr. Tat Thanh Cang's violations are very serious, causing outrage in society, greatly affecting the reputation of the City Party Committee, to the point that disciplinary action must be considered and taken."
