Previously, the Central Inspection Committee issued a statement clearly stating the violations of Mr. Pham The Dung (former Chairman of Gia Lai Provincial People's Committee for the 2011-2016 term) who, during his time as a provincial leader, had failed to set an example in proposing the appointment of a number of relatives who did not meet the standards and conditions.
Specifically, Ms. Tran Thi Ly was recruited from an ordinary worker to work at the Provincial Ethnic Minorities Committee. From the position of accountant, Ms. Ly was promoted and appointed to the position of Deputy Head of the Provincial Ethnic Minorities Committee.
Mr. Pham Duc Manh was recruited from a driver and promoted to the position of Deputy Head of the Provincial Market Management Department.
Mr. Dung's son, Pham Tran Anh, was appointed as Chief Inspector of the Department of Home Affairs, causing much public outrage.
In addition to appointing relatives, Mr. Dung was also found to have committed many violations in converting and handing over 50,000 hectares of forest land to rubber plantations; opening 5 side gates along the border without going through the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee; directing land allocation and land lease without auction...
Mr. Dung was disciplined with a Party warning by the Central Inspection Committee.
