Anti-corruption needs to spread to the local level

Opening the meeting with voters, delegate Nguyen Sy Hoi - Deputy Commander of Military Region IV reported to voters on the results of the 6th session of the 14th National Assembly that had just ended. Then, in the spirit of democracy, frankness and responsibility, many voters reflected their thoughts and aspirations and made recommendations and proposals to the National Assembly, the Government and the Central Ministries and branches.

Expressing his excitement at the Party's recent determination to fight corruption, voter Nguyen The San (Cau Giat town) also wondered that the anti-corruption work has only been focused at the central level, while there has not been a big movement at the provincial, district and communal levels. He suggested that the Central Government should synchronously and comprehensively deploy anti-corruption from the central to local levels.

Voter Nguyen The San also said that the regulation on asset declaration is a measure to prevent and fight corruption and that assets that are not declared or whose origin cannot be explained, meaning they are not under the declarant's control, should be confiscated. However, recently, the National Assembly has not had high consensus on this issue.

This voter also wondered that the promulgation of laws by the National Assembly is increasingly strict, regulating things that are not made clear; however, there are no specific sanctions for violations and strict enforcement to ensure the law is effective.
