In an effort to build a clean and strong Party organization, Nghe An has stepped up inspection, supervision and discipline work, considering it a "treasure sword" to protect the Party's prestige and strengthen people's trust. With the motto of "focused inspection and extensive supervision", Nghe An Provincial Party Committee not only promptly detected and prevented violations but also affirmed its determination to prevent and combat corruption, bringing valuable practical lessons in Party building and protecting the strength of the political system.
Recently, in Nghe An province, a series of serious violations by officials at provincial, district and commune levels were discovered and strictly handled.
A typical example is the land management violation in Cua Lo town, in which high-ranking local officials took advantage of their positions for personal gain, causing public outrage. With this violation, the Standing Committee of Nghe An Provincial Party Committee decided to expel from the Party the following comrades: Doan Tien Dung - Deputy Secretary of the Town Party Committee, Chairman of the People's Committee of Cua Lo town; Nguyen Chi Nguyen - Member of the Executive Committee of the Town Party Committee, Head of the Department of Justice (former Head of the Department of Finance - Planning), Cua Lo town People's Committee and Nguyen Duc Lam - Chairman of the People's Committee of Nghi Tan ward.
Mr. Hoang Hai Dang, a resident of Nghi Huong ward (Cua Lo town), expressed his agreement with the strict measures. He emphasized that this disciplinary action contributes to purifying the Party and restoring people's trust in the Party's leadership role, as well as the strictness of the law.
In the mountainous district of Quy Hop, inspection and supervision work also recorded remarkable results in correcting violations. Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Quy Hop district, Tran Duc Loi, was expelled from the Party for seriously violating Party regulations and State laws in performing assigned duties and tasks, in preventing and combating corruption and negativity; violating regulations on what Party members are not allowed to do and the responsibility to set an example.
Comrade Cao Duc Trung - Standing Deputy Secretary of Quy Hop District Party Committee emphasized that corruption and negativity are the responsibility of both the Party organization and the local government, not just an individual's problem. The Party Committee and the government have drawn profound lessons from this content and continue to review regulations on personnel work from the planning of promotion and appointment, especially for cadres holding important positions as heads of departments, branches, mass organizations, etc.
In Nghia Dan district, many negative cases were discovered and handled in 2023. Thanks to the strict inspection and supervision work of the Provincial Party Committee's Inspection Committee, party organizations and party members who violated the law were strictly handled. The District Party Committee's Inspection Committee proposed to recover nearly 235 million VND of budget used for wrong purposes in construction and regular expenditure. Comrade Nguyen Nam Phuong - Chairman of the Nghia Dan District Party Committee's Inspection Committee affirmed that the District Party Committee is determined to strictly carry out supervision work, especially in areas where violations are likely to arise.
In Hoang Mai town, the northernmost region of Nghe An, inspection and supervision work not only aims to handle violations but also proactively prevent violations early. In 2022, the City Party Committee's Inspection Committee discovered and inspected signs of violations at the Quynh Loc Commune Party Committee in land management, construction order and finance. From this result, the Commune Party Committee quickly reviewed, determined responsibilities and made plans to overcome them, while strengthening comprehensive management. Thanks to drastic direction, Quynh Loc has recovered financial violations, enforced illegal constructions, and mobilized the demolition of 14 constructions encroaching on traffic corridors. Land management work has also been tightened right from the grassroots level, helping the commune effectively prevent new violations.
In order to effectively inspect and supervise and prevent violations from a distance, comrade Ho Sy Tung - Member of the Standing Committee, Chairman of the Inspection Committee of the Hoang Mai Town Party Committee said: The Inspection Committee of the Town Party Committee has proactively advised the Town Party Committee to issue important directives such as Directive No. 09 on strengthening planning and urban management and Directive No. 10 on accelerating the issuance of Land Use Right Certificates. Along with that, the town has continuously strengthened supervision throughout the political system, emphasizing the early detection of small violations to prevent larger violations. Supervision is carried out through reports from all levels, socio-political organizations, and working sessions between superiors and subordinates, helping to promptly detect and handle signs of violations right from the grassroots level. The Inspection Committee of the Town Party Committee always requires clear conclusions so that the inspected subjects can thoroughly correct them.
At the conference on inspection and supervision work in the first quarter of 2024, organized by the Central Inspection Committee in Nghe An, comrade Hoang Van Tra - Deputy Head of the Central Inspection Committee emphasized: "Pay attention to regular supervision to promptly detect any signs of violations by party organizations and party members in sensitive areas and fields that are prone to corruption and negativity such as personnel work, land management, public investment projects, signs of degradation in political ideology, ethics and lifestyle;... At the same time, Party committees and Inspection Committees at all levels need to strengthen thematic supervision. This is a very important activity, the first step to request, recommend and propose remedies if any mistakes are found."

Under the direction of the Central Committee, the Secretariat and the Central Inspection Commission, in the 2020-2025 term, Nghe An Provincial Party Committee has focused on directing the work of inspection, supervision and enforcement of Party discipline in a comprehensive and effective manner. The Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee issued Project 13-DA/TU, dated January 4, 2022, on improving the quality and effectiveness of regular supervision work of Party committees, Party building committees, the Provincial Party Committee Office, and the Provincial Party Committee Inspection Commission for the period 2021-2025.
The province has inspected and supervised nearly 6,000 party organizations and more than 9,700 party members. All violations were strictly handled, with 21 organizations and 2,930 party members disciplined. Regular and timely inspections and supervision have contributed to building a clean political system, meeting people's expectations of a strong, serious and fair leadership apparatus.
Since the beginning of the 13th Congress term, the work of inspection, supervision and enforcement of Party discipline has been promoted with the motto of "handling one case, warning an entire region, an entire field", "no forbidden areas, no exceptions, regardless of who the person is". Thereby, 32 cadres under the Central management have been considered for dismissal, leave of absence, resignation, dismissal or reassignment to other jobs, including 7 Politburo members, 1 Secretariat member and 10 Central Party Committee members. This achievement once again affirms the Party's strictness and determination in enforcing discipline, with no tolerance for any violations.
The Resolution of the 13th National Party Congress set an important goal: “to create a strong change in the awareness, responsibility and political determination of the entire Party towards the work of inspection, supervision and Party discipline”. From there, the key task throughout the term was clearly defined as “continuing to promote Party building and rectification, building a socialist rule-of-law State and a clean and strong political system”. To realize this goal, improving the quality and effectiveness of the Party’s inspection and supervision work has become an urgent requirement.
Responding to this drastic spirit, during the 2020-2025 term, the Standing Committee of Nghe An Provincial Party Committee directed Party committees at all levels and the Inspection Committee to strictly implement the directive documents from the Central Government, while supplementing and adjusting regulations on inspection, supervision and Party discipline to ensure strictness and effectiveness. Notably, Directive No. 28-CT/TU issued by the Provincial Party Committee emphasized the role of comprehensive leadership in implementing inspection and supervision conclusions, along with recommendations from inspection and audit - core factors that help improve efficiency, responsibility and transparency in the entire political system.
The Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee maintain a consistent viewpoint: if there are violations or wrongdoings, they will be strictly handled, with no forbidden zones.
Implementing this direction, the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and the Inspection Committee of the Nghe An Provincial Party Committee have proactively developed an annual inspection and supervision program, directing lower-level Party Committees and Inspection Committees to implement it according to the motto of "extended supervision, focused and key inspection". Inspection and supervision work focuses on areas prone to violations, prominent and urgent issues that the Central Government and public opinion are concerned about.
The results of inspection, supervision and discipline of Party organizations, cadres and Party members who violate the law are widely publicized in the mass media, contributing to strengthening people's trust in the transparency and determination of the Party in rectifying the ranks. At the same time, it creates conditions for people to supervise and contribute to deterring, correcting and preventing violations by cadres, Party members, civil servants and public employees in the political system.

Comrade Pham Trong Hoang - Member of the Standing Committee, Chairman of the Inspection Committee of Nghe An Provincial Party Committee said: The Provincial Party Committee and Party Committees at all levels attach importance to and strengthen inspection and supervision work, with the motto "inspection must be focused, supervision must be expanded". Inspection work has focused on the implementation of the Party's resolutions, guidelines and policies, thereby detecting and promptly supplementing and adjusting shortcomings and inadequacies in policies and implementation.
The inspection work has also focused on areas prone to negativity and violations such as: leadership, resource management, land, financial and budget management, capital construction investment, personnel work... Thereby, detecting, warning, preventing and promptly handling violations, strengthening people's trust.
Supervision work has been expanded to many fields, contents, and subjects with many forms of supervision, thereby promptly correcting, correcting, and adjusting necessary issues, improving the effectiveness of implementing the Party's policies, resolutions, and directives.
With continuous efforts in inspection and supervision, Nghe An Party Committee has demonstrated its determination to build a clean and strong political system, meeting the people's expectations. This result not only strengthens the belief in the Party's strictness but also brings valuable lessons in preventing corruption and violations. The motto "inspection must be focused, supervision must be expanded" has helped Nghe An Party Committee continue to improve discipline and order, turning inspection and supervision into a "sword" to protect the Party's reputation.
The inspection and supervision process has also played an important role in detecting and removing bottlenecks and obstacles, helping the Party's resolutions to be effectively implemented. Through inspection and supervision, Party committees at all levels promptly identify shortcomings in the implementation process, thereby proposing appropriate adjustment measures to overcome shortcomings and limitations. In addition to handling violations, inspection and supervision work also creates conditions for supplementing and adjusting policies and directions, helping the Party's resolutions achieve their set goals, while enhancing the transparency and trust of the Party organization in the eyes of the people.
Practice shows that the innovation of leadership and governance methods, associated with Party building and rectification in Nghe An in particular and the whole country in general, has made an important contribution to the country's development and enhanced people's confidence. That is a solid foundation to protect the Party's leadership in the new era - "the era of the Vietnamese nation's rise!".
Speaking at the opening session of the 8th Session of the 15th National Assembly, General Secretary To Lam emphasized: “The world is in a period of epochal change, the country is also standing at the historic door to enter a new era, the era of national development. The country's urgent reality is posing urgent issues that need to be resolved, the people are waiting and expecting the decisions of the Party, the State, and the National Assembly.”
