"Resolutely purge corrupt and degenerate officials from the apparatus"

Following the 7th Central Conference, term XII, Mr. Le Nhu Tien - former Vice Chairman of the National Assembly's Committee on Culture, Education, Youth, Adolescents and Children said: "The 7th Central Conference, term XII, reviewing and discussing the Project on cadre work is very necessary and timely, meeting the requirements of tasks and expectations of cadres and people".

In reality, in recent times, the situation of running for positions and power is no longer an isolated case. The Party has also looked straight at the truth, assessing this situation as serious, occurring at many levels and in many sectors. The former Vice Chairman of the National Assembly's Committee on Culture, Education, Youth, Adolescents and Children said that it is necessary to consider this problem as an act of corruption in personnel work to clearly identify and fight fiercely and effectively against those who are "running" and those who create conditions for "running".

How to raise the sense of responsibility, form a culture of saying no to running for positions and power, if cadres have capacity, qualities, and are trusted, they will be recommended for leadership and management positions.

“We need to resolutely purge the team of corrupt and degenerate cadres. Being a cadre and doing any job does not mean “staying the same”, staying in one position forever but always changing. If cadres cannot meet the requirements of the job, this is an opportunity for us to purge, and we should not have the viewpoint of “once up, there is no down, once in, there is no out” - Mr. Le Nhu Tien said and informed that implementing the above measures will both strengthen deterrence, prevent negativity, and create opportunities for virtuous and talented cadres to develop.

“We have all the criteria and processes, but in the end the “product” is not satisfactory. So what is the root cause? Appointing the right person, choosing the right person, but if there is no good supervision, the staff will easily fall into corruption. Therefore, this Project aims to perfect the mechanism for controlling power, which is very correct and very accurate,” said the former National Assembly delegate.

Ms. Bui Thi An - National Assembly delegate, 13th term.

Having high expectations when the Conference unanimously issued the Central Resolution on focusing on building a contingent of cadres at all levels, especially at the strategic level, Ms. Bui Thi An said that in the process of appointing cadres, in addition to the "necessary" conditions of qualifications, due attention must be paid to the "sufficient" conditions of qualifications and capacity to perform practical tasks of cadres, there must be a real, public, transparent election, for each leadership position there must be many candidates to choose from, with a clear action program. In addition to the opinions of the people, it is also necessary to consult with political and social organizations to have a comprehensive assessment of cadres.

In addition, Ms. An suggested that it is necessary to legalize the responsibility of the leader. If the cadre is promoted incorrectly, the person who recommended must also be responsible. When the authority is given, the person who is selected and responsible for the promoted cadre is given, then the leader will be more responsible for his or her decision.

"Cadres who are dedicated to the people and the common good will never choose bribe-takers but will choose talented and dedicated people to help the apparatus develop," Ms. Bui Thi An shared.

Highly appreciating the Project, Ms. Bui Thi An further emphasized that: “When there are specific criteria for each position and evaluating the practical effectiveness of cadres, those who are not qualified will be eliminated. There will be no such thing as “going in with an umbrella in the morning and coming home with an umbrella in the evening”, thus “living long enough to become a veteran”, hindering the progress of others and the unit. And those who are eliminated will also be convinced. To do this, leaders must have vision, heart, be objective, and transparent in evaluating cadres, and not be influenced by any barriers”./.
