When necessary, party members are inspected by lower-level party organizations.

At the recent session (29th) of the Central Inspection Committee, this agency disciplined by removing from office Mr. Diep Van Thanh, Deputy Secretary of the City Party Committee, Chairman of the People's Committee of Tra Vinh City and a number of individuals with violations for the 2010-2015 and 2015-2020 terms.

Also in this session, the Central Inspection Committee concluded violations and shortcomings of the Standing Committee of Huong Hoa District Party Committee and individuals with violations.

Why does the Central Inspection Commission have to consider signs of violations by organizations and individuals not under the Central management?

Speaking to PV Dan Viet, a member of the Central Inspection Committee said that according to Article 32 of Regulation 30 implementing Chapter VII and Chapter VIII on inspection, supervision and discipline of the Party, there are regulations on the subjects of inspection: Regarding the inspection of lower-level party organizations when there are signs of violations, the subjects of inspection are lower-level party organizations, first of all, the direct subordinates. When inspecting a party organization, it is possible to combine inspection of party members of that party organization.

Regarding the inspection of party members in the performance of party member duties, Article 32 stipulates the following subjects of inspection: Party members who show signs of violations must first be party committee members at the same level, party members who are cadres under the management of party committees at the same level; when necessary, party members managed by lower-level party organizations must be inspected. According to the above regulations, the Central Inspection Committee has stepped in to inspect signs of violations by district-level cadres and party members.

What is the responsibility of the Provincial Party Committee's Inspection Commission?

Regarding the violations of the Standing Committee of the Huong Hoa District Party Committee and the Tra Vinh City Party Committee as well as related officials, Mr. Vu Quoc Hung, former Deputy Head of the Central Inspection Committee, said: According to the decentralization, the violations of the above two agencies should have been under the authority of the Tra Vinh and Quang Tri Provincial Party Committees' Inspection Committees to investigate and clarify.

“The fact that the Central Inspection Commission has stepped in to clarify the violations of the Standing Committee of the Tra Vinh City Party Committee and the Standing Committee of the Huong Hoa District Party Committee and related individuals shows two problems. The first is the activism of the Central Inspection Commission. The second shows signs of weakness and lack of fighting spirit of the Party organization and the Inspection Commission of that Party organization. Specifically, the Provincial Party Committee and Inspection Commission of the two provinces of Tra Vinh and Quang Tri,” Mr. Hung said.

According to Mr. Vu Quoc Hung, the role of the Provincial Party Committee's Inspection Committee is to check for signs of violations by Party Committee members at the same level, including in cases where the Provincial Party Committee Secretary shows signs of violations or shortcomings, the Provincial Party Committee's Inspection Committee must also be aware of them, but if they are not subject to review and handling, they must report to the Central Committee. Only then can the role and responsibility of the person doing the inspection work be demonstrated.

Mr. Le Van Cuong, former Deputy Head of the Thanh Hoa National Assembly Delegation, said: The Central Inspection Committee's involvement in clarifying violations in the Standing Committee of the Tra Vinh City Party Committee and Huong Hoa District is very necessary to avoid delays that make people doubt and affect the Party's reputation. From another perspective, it is also a warning that the Central Inspection Committee not only steps in to handle violations by organizations and Party members under the Central's management, but also steps in to clarify violations at the local level. "Violations, even if clarified by local authorities, when the locality does not do so, the Central Committee will step in and violations cannot "sink", Mr. Cuong said.

According to Mr. Cuong, through the above incident, the question is why the Provincial Party Committee Inspection Committee of the two localities did not take action to fulfill their responsibilities, forcing the Central Government to take action. "The Central Party Committee Inspection Committee also clearly understands the responsibilities of the Provincial Party Committee Inspection Committee of Tra Vinh and Quang Tri, why did it not clarify the violations of the Party organizations and Party members under its jurisdiction; what is the reason, is there any problem behind it?", Mr. Cuong asked.
