Chairman of Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee "shocked" by director receiving salary of 2.7 billion VND/year
On August 29, at a meeting on the socio-economic situation in the first 8 months of 2013, Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee Le Hoang Quan directed a general inspection of the salary funds of state-owned enterprises in the case of a director receiving 2.7 billion VND/year.
Regarding this matter, at the working session, Mr. Le Hoang Quan expressed: “The hottest issue these days is the director salary of 2.7 billion VND/year. It is shocking to hear! Today, are there leaders of the transport sector or not? Why is your sector so good?
Previously, the City People's Committee directed the inspection, and they submitted a petition to the City Party Committee, asking them to fight for the inspection to be exposed. The state-funded green tree company invested nearly 600 billion VND. In the petition sent to the City Party Committee, the reason they stated was that implementing the direction of the City People's Committee reduced the income of workers.
Mr. Le Hoang Quan humorously said: “Workers’ salaries have indeed decreased, but not the salaries of the workers, the salaries of the management board directors. When it comes down to it, they say the money is made by them, not touching the budget. If they are so good, why do they need to ask for help from the budget?
Today I speak frankly, reduce wages and income of workers to enrich the leaders, the city will direct the management to the right place. That is wrong in terms of regime, policy, and viewpoint. If it were not a state-owned enterprise, try to see if it could make such profit?
Fix, must fix resolutely! In the near future, direct a general inspection of the salary fund of state-owned enterprises. There is a unit whose salary fund the city approved was only over 1 billion, but dared to spend over 4 billion. In every meeting, the People's Committee directs and reminds, but mistakes are still made. State discipline, must re-establish discipline and sense of responsibility."
