National Assembly Chairman: "When people trust the Provincial Party Committee and District Party Committee's Inspection Commission, then it will be good"

On the morning of January 23, in Hanoi, a national conference was held to review the Party's inspection and supervision work in 2018 and deploy tasks for 2019.

National Assembly Chairwoman Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan attended and spoke at the Conference.

The Party's inspection, supervision and disciplinary work continued to achieve important results, contributing to initially preventing and repelling the degradation of political ideology, morality and lifestyle, manifestations of self-evolution and self-transformation within the Party and fighting against corruption, waste and negativity, contributing to improving the Party's leadership capacity and fighting strength, successfully implementing the country's socio-economic development tasks, and consolidating the trust of cadres, Party members and people.

National Assembly Chairwoman Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan assessed that this result was achieved because Party committees, Party organizations, and Inspection Committees at all levels have seriously implemented the Central Committee's direction, continued to innovate, and improved the effectiveness and efficiency of Party inspection, supervision, and discipline work; at the same time, proactively and actively performed their tasks according to the Party Charter.

"The publication of the results of the review and disciplinary action against disciplined organizations and individuals on mass media demonstrates the openness and transparency in the handling of disciplinary actions against party organizations and party members. Only when party organizations or party members are disciplined do people feel that this information was not available before. Now, every time the Inspection Committee issues a conclusion, people follow to see what the Central Inspection Committee concludes this time. Those who are subject to it are also very scared, and those who have not violated must consider this as a way to deter them from violating the Party's regulations and the law. Because now violations are no longer hidden but are reported in the press," emphasized National Assembly Chairwoman Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan.

Inspection and supervision work has no "no-go zones" or exceptions. The Central Inspection Commission continues to take active and decisive action; proactively inspects when there are signs of violations; clarifies many very serious violations, decides to discipline and recommends that the Central Executive Committee, the Politburo, and the Secretariat strictly discipline many high-ranking officials under the management of the Politburo and the Secretariat, ensuring fairness, accuracy, timeliness, "understanding and reason"; contributes significantly to building a healthy environment for socio-economic development; fights and prevents degradation in ideology, politics, ethics, lifestyle, manifestations of "self-evolution" and "self-transformation" within the Party; prevents and combats corruption, waste, negativity, etc.; In particular, Party members who showed signs of violating political views, had articles and statements contrary to the Political Platform, Party Charter, resolutions, directives and regulations of the Party and State, thereby tightening discipline and order in the Party and State apparatus, which was widely agreed upon, supported and highly appreciated by cadres, Party members and people.

"People say that they trust the Central Inspection Commission very much, and as long as people trust the Provincial and District Party Committees' Inspection Commissions, that's good. We all say we've done well, but clearly, the people trust the Central Inspection Commission's role in the past year. I hope that Party committees at all levels will also take it seriously so that typical and sensitive cases arising right in their localities, agencies, and ministries can be clarified, made public, transparent, and clearly disciplined to regain the trust of Party members and the people," the National Assembly Chairman further stated.

2019 is a very important year for successfully implementing the Resolution of the 12th National Party Congress and the 5-year socio-economic development plan 2016-2020, preparing for Party Congresses at all levels towards the 13th National Party Congress. In that context, the role and responsibility of Party committees and Inspection Committees at all levels are extremely important and heavy.

Therefore, the National Assembly Chairman suggested that, in the atmosphere where the entire political system is involved and the people are in agreement and support, Party committees, Party organizations, and Inspection Committees at all levels should carry out inspection and supervision work more vigorously and drastically, resolutely and persistently, and not be complacent with the results achieved; conduct inspection and supervision regularly, comprehensively, publicly, democratically, cautiously and closely, focusing on inspecting Party organizations and Party members when there are signs of violations.

The National Assembly Chairman emphasized that Party members in any position who violate the law must be strictly punished; Party members who violate the law to the extent that they must be prosecuted must be considered for criminal prosecution. Where self-inspection fails to detect violations, or detects violations but handles them lightly, the Party Committee and the head of that agency, unit, or locality must take responsibility and take appropriate measures, not "learn from experience" in general.

"It is necessary to focus on comprehensively inspecting the organization and personnel work, especially personnel preparing for Party Congresses at all levels; focusing on inspecting and supervising cadres showing signs of corruption; having many reflections and denunciations of corruption; leaders and managers at all levels and cadres planned for leadership and management positions. Strengthening inspection and supervision to promptly detect and handle abuse and abuse of power to commit wrongdoings in personnel work or to assist in the buying and selling of positions and power; resolutely handling incorrect decisions on personnel work, and strictly handling organizations and individuals who violate personnel work," said the National Assembly Chairman.

Strengthen supervision of the use of power by leaders, especially leaders. Focus on directing inspections of areas with complicated problems, areas of public concern, areas and areas prone to negativity and corruption. When signs of violations are detected, they must be promptly inspected, resolutely and thoroughly resolved; conclusions must be clear and transparent; handling must be fair and objective; discipline must be strict and convincing.

Sharing the difficulties and challenges that inspection teams at all levels are facing, the National Assembly Chairman affirmed that the Party and the people believe in the mettle and will of inspection officers - the vanguard soldiers on the front line of fighting against violations and negativity in the Party. Each inspection officer must have pure revolutionary ethics, political mettle, experience, dedication to work, responsibility and high fighting spirit in the profession; have a firm grasp of the principles, mechanisms, policies and regulations of the Party and State to carry out their duties; have proficient professional skills and scientific working methods to meet the requirements of the tasks in the new situation./.
