How to monitor to prevent 'gift giving for personal gain'?

Regulation 55 issued by the Politburo, which strictly prohibits cadres and party members from organizing parties after each meeting or when promoted; weddings, funerals, and birthdays must be simple and economical... has received the consensus of cadres, party members, and the people.

Mr. Nguyen Dinh Huong, former Deputy Head of the Central Organizing Committee.

In addition to the immediate requirements to enhance the exemplary role of cadres and party members, Regulation 55 of the Politburo also requires localities, agencies and units to stop organizing motorcades, slogans, laying out red carpets, giving gifts and wasteful meals whenever a working delegation visits the base. This is also a worrying situation in many localities today.

According to economic expert Le Dang Doanh, many agencies and localities still abuse public funds for giving gifts to superiors or holding lavish parties, causing waste of the state budget.

Therefore, it is necessary to have strict regulations with legal effect and a close monitoring plan from the Party organization, the participation of the masses as well as the press.

The Politburo's strict prohibition of taking advantage of happy occasions to give gifts for personal gain is an urgent and correct direction. However, to implement it thoroughly, it is necessary to have strict monitoring mechanisms to detect any distortions and impose strict sanctions on violations, prevent negative behaviors and create trust among the public.
