Previously, on January 13, at the Party Central Committee headquarters, General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong chaired a meeting of the Secretariat to consider and issue a disciplinary warning to Mr. Mai Tien Dung.

According to the conclusion of the Secretariat, Mr. Mai Tien Dung, in his position as Minister and Head of the Government Office, violated the principle of democratic centralism, Party regulations, and State laws; lacked responsibility in performing the task of organizing flights to bring citizens home during the Covid-19 pandemic, allowing a number of officials of the Government Office to advise and propose incorrect conclusions of the Prime Minister, accept bribes, and be prosecuted and temporarily detained.

Mr. Mai Tien Dung's violations have caused serious consequences, bad public opinion in society, and reduced the reputation of the Party organization and State administrative agencies.
