The Railway Corporation has just decided to dismiss and transfer Mr. Nguyen Viet Hiep for not following the investment process when implementing the plan to buy old train cars from China.

On the afternoon of February 4, the Board of Members of Vietnam Railway Corporation held a meeting to review and handle responsibilities for individuals and groups of Hanoi Railway Transport Joint Stock Company.

Speaking to VnExpress, the leader of the Railway Corporation said that the Board of Members of the Corporation has requested the leaders and related officials of the Hanoi Transport Joint Stock Company to review and clarify personal responsibilities related to the proposal to import old trains.

Regarding the disciplinary action against Mr. Nguyen Viet Hiep - General Director of Hanoi Railway Transport (representing the State capital), the Board of Members of the Corporation decided to remove him from office and transfer him to the position of Deputy Head of the Corporation due to limited capacity in management and investment procedures.

The Board of Members of the Railway Corporation has confirmed that the industry has a policy of investing in building new trains and purchasing new carriages from abroad. The Hanoi Railway Transport Joint Stock Company has surveyed China and developed an investment plan. However, the company's executive board has not reported or requested investment policy from the competent authority.

In a recent document sent to the Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Science and Technology, Hanoi Railway Transport Joint Stock Company said it had received approval from its parent company, Vietnam Railway Corporation, to purchase more than 160 old train cars from China. Of these, 120 were built more than 20 years ago. Nearly 20 of the newest cars in the shipment are also 12 years old. These are all train cars used on 1,000mm gauge tracks, so according to the railway industry, they are "suitable for domestic infrastructure conditions".

However, Chairman of the Board of Members of the Railway Corporation Tran Ngoc Thanh affirmed that the industry has no policy to buy old trains. The proposal to buy old trains by the Hanoi Railway Transport Company has not been submitted to the Board of Members of the Corporation for approval.

After receiving the above information, Minister of Transport Dinh La Thang requested the Board of Members of the Railway Corporation to remove Mr. Nguyen Viet Hiep from his position as representative of State capital at Hanoi Railway Transport Joint Stock Company, and at the same time directed the Board of Directors of this company to remove him from his position as General Director.

Hanoi Railway Transport Joint Stock Company was established on January 1, 2016, formerly known as Hanoi Railway One Member Limited Liability Company. Mr. Nguyen Viet Hiep was elected by the general meeting of shareholders as General Director and is the representative of 60% of the state capital of Vietnam Railway Corporation at this company. Mr. Hiep was also the previous director of Hanoi Railway One Member Limited Liability Company.
