Disciplining Mr. Tat Thanh Cang: A big lesson for young cadres

At the 32nd session, the Central Inspection Commission considered and disciplined many officials. In particular, the Central Inspection Commission considered and disciplined Mr. Tat Thanh Cang, member of the Party Central Committee, Standing Deputy Secretary of the Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee, for violations and shortcomings that were concluded at the 31st session of the Central Inspection Commission. Considering the content, nature, level, and consequences of the violations; based on the Party's regulations on disciplinary action against violating Party members, the Central Inspection Commission proposed that the Politburo and the Central Executive Committee consider and discipline Mr. Tat Thanh Cang according to their authority.

“I think there are two reasons for the young cadres who have been disciplined in the past. They were assigned important responsibilities by the Party and the State, but they did not strive to practice, were complacent too soon, and could not overcome material temptations. Second, the agencies that handle cadre work themselves did not thoroughly investigate, leading to the introduction and appointment of such people to important positions. In my opinion, not only should the erring cadres be disciplined, but the agencies that introduced and appointed them must also see their responsibilities,” said Mr. Nguyen Tuc.

Since the 12th Congress, especially after the 4th Central Conference, our Party's determination to fight corruption has become increasingly real and stronger. Up to now, 59 officials under the Central Committee's management have been disciplined, including 13 Central Committee members, former Central Committee members and 1 Politburo member. "That clearly shows that our Party is clearly implementing its determination to match words with actions, with no "no-go zones" or exceptions in handling violating officials. Since the renovation, we have had 5 times of Party building and rectification, but this time it is stronger and more substantial, creating trust among all classes of people, creating momentum for socio-economic development."

Through incidents like this, Mr. Nguyen Tuc said that we must frankly admit that the reason is that we have been lax in management for a long time at all levels and in all sectors. In particular, the agencies in charge of personnel work have not been perfected and have not performed their functions properly, which has led to the situation of buying positions, buying power, buying planning, etc. This is clearly shown through many cases that have been and are being brought to trial. In the Conferences, General Secretary, President Nguyen Phu Trong and Head of the Central Organizing Committee have also given many instructions on fighting against negativity, buying positions, buying power, buying planning in personnel work.

Another reason is that those who are introduced and appointed do not train themselves, do not have the lifelong goal of fighting for the Party and the people as they swore when taking office and standing before the Party flag.

Mr. Nguyen Tuc emphasized that the market mechanism in 30 years of renovation has penetrated into every corner of life and even into the Party and State agencies, so to prepare well for the personnel of the 13th Party Congress, there must be good preparation from many sides. First of all, the State agencies assigned the responsibility of personnel work must be truly thrifty, honest, impartial and impartial.

Second, all levels themselves, when participating in the personnel work process, must do so very seriously and impartially, not out of deference or bribery, and not hand over all responsibility to Mr. A or Mr. B.

An equally important part is to make it public so that those who are included in the planning are not only supervised by the Party Committee, but they are also supervised by Party members and the people. Only then will the cadre work be effective and limit the number of cadres who commit violations to the point of having to be disciplined, prosecuted and tried as in the recent past./.

At the 31st session, the Central Inspection Committee reviewed and concluded on Mr. Tat Thanh Cang, member of the Party Central Committee, Standing Deputy Secretary of the Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee.

Mr. Tat Thanh Cang violated the principle of democratic centralism and working regulations, violated the authority, principles, and procedures for handling work, violated the regulations of the City Party Committee on management and use of assets at enterprises owned by the City Party Committee and legal regulations in deciding on business cooperation policies, project transfers, and land use rights transfers of enterprises under the City Party Committee, and approved the policy for the representative of the City Party Committee's capital to vote on the issuance of shares to strategic shareholders at enterprises; lacked responsibility, loosened leadership and direction, and lacked inspection and supervision, allowing the assigned field to have many violations of the law, causing great damage to the City Party Committee's budget.

During his tenure as a member of the City Party Committee, member of the City People's Committee, and Director of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Transport, he violated the law on land and construction investment management in signing the decision to approve the project and initialing the contract for the investment project to build 04 main roads in the Thu Thiem New Urban Area.

The violations of comrade Tat Thanh Cang are very serious, causing outrage in society, greatly affecting the reputation of the City Party Committee, to the point that it must be considered and strictly disciplined by law. But the greater wish of public opinion is how to prevent the creation of other Ut "troc", Vu "nhom"...
