What solutions prevent the appointment of relatives?

The processes of planning, rotating, and promoting officials... are very strict, but in reality, the number of cases of appointing relatives being discovered is increasing.

Recently, in some localities, ministries and branches have discovered the situation of “the whole family being officials” or “the whole family being officials” as reported by the press. Some officials have even been appointed so “quickly” that they are promoted to one position each year…

Many working delegations of the Politburo have worked with the Standing Committees of provincial and municipal Party Committees; public inspection delegations of the Ministry of Home Affairs have inspected localities across the country and discovered this situation.

The story of "the whole family being officials" in Kim Thanh district, Hai Duong has been causing a stir in public opinion recently.

According to Mr. Dang Xuan Dinh, Chairman of the Veterans Association of District 1, Ho Chi Minh City, to prevent this situation, it is necessary to strengthen the supervision of the people and Party organizations on officials with positions and power, including leaders. At the same time, issues related to personnel work must be carried out publicly, democratically, and in accordance with procedures.

Violations in personnel work, especially the appointment of relatives, must be resolutely fought against. If the violations are serious, they must be strictly tried as a deterrent because this can lead to the survival of the Party and the regime.

“Party members must serve the Fatherland, put the interests of the Fatherland and the nation above all else. If we do not put the interests of the Fatherland and the nation above all else but put our own interests first, we will never be able to do well in building a clean and strong Party. Because personal interests suppress the interests of the collective and the nation, endangering the survival of the Party and our regime,” said Mr. Dang Xuan Dinh.

This issue is clearly stated in the Central Executive Committee's Regulations on what party members are not allowed to do: Not to interfere with or influence organizations or individuals so that oneself or others can be appointed, nominated, run for election, study, or go abroad against regulations... Not to preside over, advise, propose, or participate in issuing documents against regulations. Creating conditions or engaging in behavior that allows one's father, mother, wife (husband), children, brothers, sisters, or siblings to take advantage of one's position or work position for personal gain...

As a person with many years of experience in scientific research and participating in state management of science and technology, Associate Professor Dr. Phan Minh Tan, Vice President of the Ho Chi Minh City Union of Science and Technology Associations, said that appointing relatives is also a form of power corruption. Corruption in personnel work brings many material benefits but leaves few traces, is easy to hide and difficult to detect... Therefore, it is necessary to have a mechanism to strictly control the power of leaders in appointing and promoting officials.

According to Mr. Phan Minh Tan, to limit this situation, the Party and State need to effectively implement policies to attract scientific and technological intellectuals; seriously organize recruitment exams for important positions to select talented people to contribute to the development of the country and each locality.

Associate Professor Dr. Phan Minh Tan suggested: “If we have better policies and mechanisms to remove barriers to intellectuals, our country will develop faster. I think that one of the tasks of the Party is to pay more attention and care to intellectuals. Because currently, in the development of the country, the main and important driving force must be science and technology, and the knowledge economy.”

This year, nearly 60 years old in the Party, Mr. Pham Ba Lu, Head of the Liaison Committee for soldiers captured and imprisoned by the enemy nationwide, affirmed that cadre work is very important in all successes of our Party and State. If the children of cadres or relatives of cadres are virtuous and talented, that is something to be highly appreciated. The people welcome cadres who are talented, virtuous, have vision, are fundamentally trained and are dedicated to serving the people and the Party.

Mr. Pham Ba Lu also cited a number of cases of promotion and appointment of officials who are relatives of those who committed violations at the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Ministry of Finance, in provinces such as Hai Duong, Ha Giang, Binh Dinh, Bac Ninh... and said that if unqualified officials are selected for planning positions, the personnel work has been wrong from the beginning, affecting the people's trust.

According to Mr. Lu, a person doing cadre work must have a very pure heart, without bias, without favoritism, and must not promote because of family or close friends. A person doing cadre work must consider that he/she chooses good cadres for the Party, for the State, and for the people.

The procedures for evaluating cadres, planning, rotating, promoting, and appointing cadres of the Party and the State are very strict. However, in reality, the number of cases of appointing relatives is increasingly discovered. It is worth noting that when discovered, many cases are still justified as "following procedures", "random"... Therefore, preventing the appointment of relatives is a contribution to the work of Party building, perfecting the team of cadres who are both red and professional, serving as a driving force for the development of the country./.
