At the conference, comrade Ho Le Ngoc - Member of the Standing Committee, Head of the Internal Affairs Committee of Nghe An Provincial Party Committee presented a report on some experiences in self-detection, consulting and directing the handling of cases and cases according to plan No. 15-KH/BNCTW, dated May 25, 2021 of the Central Internal Affairs Committee.

Accordingly, the Nghe An Provincial Party Committee's Internal Affairs Committee has resolutely and synchronously deployed many solutions, competing to achieve the set targets; thereby drawing out a number of issues that can be considered effective methods in self-detecting, advising, and handling cases and incidents.

According to the Head of the Nghe An Provincial Party Committee's Internal Affairs Committee, it is necessary to first select and use a team of cadres with appropriate qualifications and capacity to meet the goals and requirements of the assigned tasks; flexibly and creatively apply the methods of grasping the situation, collecting information and documents for consultation and handling; be proactive, positive and timely in evaluating and processing collected information and documents.

On the other hand, proactively coordinate with functional agencies to regularly advise the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee to lead, direct and urge agencies, units and localities to strictly implement Notice No. 01-TB/BCĐTW, dated March 19, 2021 of the Standing Committee of the Central Steering Committee on anti-corruption and anti-negativity, especially during the inspection and examination process. If a case is found to have signs of crime, the case file must be immediately transferred to the competent investigation agency for handling, investigation and handling according to regulations, not waiting until the end of the inspection and examination process to transfer.

However, through practical work, the Head of the Nghe An Provincial Party Committee's Internal Affairs Committee said that there has been a situation of "insecurity, fear of making mistakes, and not daring to do things among a number of cadres and civil servants". This is a matter of concern because it will hinder the country's development momentum.

There are some basic causes of the above situation: Although legal policies are increasingly improved, they are not yet consistent and there are still issues that have not kept up with reality.

A number of cadres have capacities that are not up to the task or have capacities but limited awareness and sense of responsibility, are not decisive, do not want to do things or do things in a "waiting and waiting" or evasive manner. The differentiation of criminal responsibilities in documents is not comprehensive.

In particular, the mechanism to protect cadres who dare to think, dare to do, and dare to make breakthroughs for the common good, although issued by the Politburo in Conclusion No. 14-KL/TW dated September 22, 2021, has not been specified in legal documents, leading to cadres being hesitant and not daring to make breakthroughs during their work.

From that reality, the Nghe An Provincial Party Committee's Internal Affairs Committee proposed two solutions. Those are:It is necessary to continue to promote the review, development and improvement of institutions, mechanisms and policies to ensure consistency, feasibility and suitability with current reality.

On the other hand, the Party's leadership and direction of Party organizations and Party members who violate the law must be classified in a consistent manner in all areas. From there, continue to research and perfect the system of criminal responsibility differentiation to ensure compatibility with the nature and level of criminal acts.

OVERCOMING DIFFICULTIES IN ASSET APPRAISAL AND VALUATION

In addition, to continue to effectively carry out the work of detecting, advising and directing the handling of corruption and negative cases in general, according to the specialized emulation plan of the Central Internal Affairs Committee in particular, the Nghe An Provincial Party Committee's Internal Affairs Committee recommends and proposes 3 issues to the Central Internal Affairs Committee.

First of all, from practice, there are cases and cases that have been handled and resolved, but through inspection and examination, it has been discovered that the handling was not strict, even letting violations and crimes escape. Therefore, in addition to the two criteria "undiscovered cases" and "discovered cases and cases but not completely handled, still lingering" as stated in Plan No. 15-KH/BNCTW, it is proposed to add the criterion "detecting, advising, handling cases and cases that have been handled and resolved but not strictly, showing signs of letting violations and crimes escape" to compete for implementation.

Nghe An also recommended that the Central Government study solutions to overcome the time lag when implementing the request of the Standing Committee of the Central Steering Committee on preventing and combating corruption and negativity, which is "during the inspection, examination and audit process, if a case is discovered to have signs of crime, the case file must be immediately transferred to the competent investigation agency for handling, investigation and handling according to the provisions of law, not waiting until the end of the inspection, examination and audit process to transfer", in order to help detect, investigate and handle corruption and negativity quickly, promptly and effectively.

The Head of the Nghe An Provincial Party Committee's Internal Affairs Committee also recommended research and advice to competent authorities to direct functional agencies to review and overcome difficulties and obstacles in the appraisal and valuation of assets in corruption and negative cases.
