The Central Inspection Commission and Inspection Commissions at all levels have inspected over 15,000 party organizations and over 47,000 party members (of whom over 23,000 are committee members at all levels) when there are signs of violations, and supervised over 183,000 party organizations and over 528,000 party members (of whom over 154,000 are committee members at all levels).

Regarding the work of preventing and combating corruption, the Central Inspection Commission has had many policies and measures to direct and organize implementation, achieving important results.

Inspection committees at all levels have conducted inspections in places and areas that were rarely or never inspected before, such as: judicial agencies, agencies in the armed forces, large state economic corporations, etc.

Through inspection, corrupt party members were promptly handled, and party organizations and party members who did not strictly comply with Party and State regulations on corruption prevention and control were strictly handled.

Inspection Commissions at all levels have also closely coordinated with State anti-corruption agencies in inspecting, monitoring, detecting, handling and publicizing the results of handling violating officials and Party members.

Comrade Mai Truc said: Some conclusions of the Central Inspection Committee have created the premise for functional branches to handle cases according to the provisions of law (such as cases related to Phan Van Anh Vu, Dinh Ngoc He case, AVG case, BIDV case,...).

Along with that, there is a mechanism to protect and encourage cadres and party members to dare to think, dare to do, be bold, and take the lead in innovation for development. The assessment and handling of violations must be placed in specific historical conditions and circumstances to have an objective, correct, and appropriate handling perspective.

Disciplinary action must be strict and timely, with no "no-go zones" or exceptions, but must be based on the spirit of humanity, "treating the illness and saving the life", with the aim of making the Party organization and Party members more progressive and doing better.

Publicize the results of handling cases on mass media to maximize effectiveness and efficiency in preventing, educating, deterring, warning against violations, creating consensus and positive effects in society, not allowing hostile forces to take advantage of distorting and sabotaging the Party and State.
