Former General Secretary Le Kha Phieu: 'Accusing of buying degrees, inspection will reveal it immediately'
The former General Secretary said that when there is a complaint like about the degree of the Hai Duong Secretary, we must organize an implementation to solve the problem immediately.
In response to the news of a complaint about the degree of Hai Duong Provincial Party Secretary Nguyen Manh Hien, speaking to the press on the morning of September 29, former General Secretary Le Kha Phieu said that he had heard about this information for a long time and when there were negative signs of "running for degrees and certificates", it had to be checked immediately.
“If there is a complaint, we must organize it to implement it and find out the problem immediately. When there is a problem, we must draw lessons. Who gave you the degree, the school knows, ask that school if they know, where they studied, see if that school has any negative policies?” – the former General Secretary said.

Mr. Le Kha Phieu also emphasized that officials must be impartial and pure. No matter how good a person is, if they have a motive, it is not acceptable. If the situation is bad, it is easy to be corrupted, so it must be considered.
“It is not allowed to lie in the Party, that is “buying a degree, buying a rank”, making things up is very wrong. If a person knows it is wrong but still does it, then that person is not worthy” – former General Secretary Le Kha Phieu affirmed, at the same time noting, “Do not make up something just to get to this or that level, that is bad. This is making our Party look bad, we must see it, must correct it and must definitely stop”.
“You are the Secretary, how much do you know about your education, are you honest with the Party? It is not small, we must examine more seriously the honesty of Party members, lying for your own benefit to get in is wrong. Whatever grade you studied, just declare it, if you had other standards, people might still elect you” – Former General Secretary said
