(Baonghean.vn) - Mr. Duyen was temporarily suspended from work after the district's working group came to inspect but was not present at the headquarters, and many times we could not contact him by phone.

On the morning of February 11, a leader of Nghi Loc District People's Committee said that the district had just decided to temporarily suspend Mr. Pham Ngoc Duyen - Chairman of Nghi Xuan Commune People's Committee for 15 days due to negligence in epidemic prevention work. During the suspension period, the management work was assigned to the Vice Chairman of Nghi Xuan Commune People's Committee.

Previously, on the afternoon of February 7, a working group from Nghi Loc district inspected Covid-19 prevention work in a number of communes, including Nghi Xuan commune. However, at the time of the inspection, Mr. Duyen was not present at the commune headquarters. The working group tried to contact him by phone many times but was still unable to reach him. In addition, Mr. Duyen was also held responsible for the slow vaccination work in the area.

Speaking to Nghe An Newspaper reporters, Mr. Pham Ngoc Duyen said that he was explaining to the district after receiving the decision to temporarily suspend his work. "That day, I had a working session in Vinh City with a Department. Because my phone was lost, the working group called but did not know. There is no way I left the office without reason or went out to play," Mr. Duyen said and affirmed that before going to work in Vinh City, he had reported to the Party Secretary of the commune.

Nghi Xuan commune is currently one of the largest epidemic hotspots in Nghi Loc district. During the Lunar New Year of Nham Dan, the commune recorded 112 cases of Covid-19 infection.

Previously, in Nghe An province, many leaders were temporarily suspended from work due to lack of responsibility in the fight against the epidemic. One example is the case of the Chairman of the People's Committee of Quynh Lam commune (Quynh Luu district), who was temporarily suspended because he allowed F1 in centralized quarantine to go home to visit his wife who had just given birth, and then this F1 tested positive for Covid-19. In Anh Son district, the Chairman of the People's Committee of Long Son commune was temporarily suspended because he allowed people in the quarantine area to freely meet with their families....
