Yesterday afternoon, at the headquarters of the Southwest Steering Committee, a representative of the Central Inspection Commission (CIC) announced the conclusion of violations that occurred at this agency during the 2011-2016 period, with Mr. Nguyen Phong Quang holding the position of Permanent Deputy Head of the Commission.

Sources said that at the working session, the Central Inspection Commission requested the Party Committee and the Standing Committee of the Southwest Steering Committee to conduct a review from the date of implementing the conclusion to August 28.

Then, from September 6 to 12, the standing agency of the Southwest Steering Committee must organize a meeting to review relevant individuals and propose handling of violations according to authority.

The conclusion of the Central Inspection Committee also requested a review to clarify irregularities in the use of funds to support poor patients, and to handle violations in the use of land to build the headquarters of the Association for Supporting Poor Patients.

In addition, there are a number of cases with signs of violations that need to be clarified. The Central Inspection Committee proposed transferring them to competent authorities for handling.

The conclusion also stated that Mr. Nguyen Phong Quang violated the Working Regulations and the principle of democratic centralism in giving policies and decisions on organizational and personnel work. He directly signed the appointment of 32 cases that did not ensure principles, processes, procedures and did not meet the conditions and standards, including the rapid appointment of Mr. Vu Minh Hoang to the position of Deputy Head of Department.

Mr. Nguyen Quoc Viet, Party Secretary and Deputy Head of the Southwest Steering Committee, must also be responsible for the violations and shortcomings of the Party Committee and the Standing Agency of the Southwest Steering Committee.

The conclusion of the Central Inspection Commission clearly stated that the violations and shortcomings of Mr. Nguyen Phong Quang, Mr. Nguyen Quoc Viet and individuals in the Standing Office of the Southwest Steering Committee in the period of 2011-2016 caused very serious consequences, negatively affecting the prestige of the Party and the Steering Committee, causing public outrage among cadres, party members and people, to the point that Party disciplinary action must be considered./.
