"Firewall" in preventing and fighting corruption and negativity

Recently, the Politburo issued Regulation 131 - QD/TW on controlling power, preventing and combating corruption and negativity in inspection, supervision, enforcement of Party discipline and in inspection and auditing activities. The promulgation of the regulation has received support from the people and will be a "firewall" for each cadre and party member to self-examine and self-correct, thereby contributing to building an increasingly clean and strong cadre and party member team.

The need for regulation

The fight against corruption in the country in general and in Binh Thuan in particular is receiving the attention of all classes of people due to the determination in the direction of the Party Committees at all levels. Many cases and incidents related to corruption and negativity at the central and provincial levels have been strictly handled, tried promptly, with the right people and the right crimes, and have received the people's sympathy and high support.

Notably, in the fight against corruption and negativity, the force operating in the field of inspection, supervision and auditing plays a very important role. They are likened to a "sword" or a "shield", contributing to upholding Party regulations and the strictness of the law. However, looking at reality in recent years, there have been many officials in this force who have violated the law. Although they have been detected and handled promptly, they have also significantly affected people's trust. More than ever, there is a need for a more stringent deterrent to prevent early and from afar and to further affirm that there are no "forbidden zones". Therefore, the Politburo issued Regulation No. 131-QD/TW on controlling power, preventing and combating corruption and negativity in inspection, supervision, Party discipline enforcement and in inspection and auditing activities.

Accordingly, the regulation consists of 4 chapters and 11 articles. The regulation clearly explains: Controlling power, preventing and combating corruption and negativity in inspection, supervision, enforcement of Party discipline and in inspection and auditing activities is the use of mechanisms and measures to ensure strict implementation of Party regulations, State laws, working regulations, regulations, and professional procedures to prevent, detect, stop, and handle violations, especially acts of abuse and taking advantage of positions and powers in performing assigned duties and tasks...

Inspection and supervision work has always been of concern to Binh Thuan in recent years.

The regulation requires Party committees to regularly lead, direct, inspect, and supervise Party committees and Party organizations under their management; advisory and support agencies of Party committees and Inspection Committees of Party committees to strictly implement Party regulations and directions of Party committees and Inspection Committees at higher levels; promptly correct limitations and shortcomings in inspection, supervision, and Party discipline enforcement; direct the implementation of measures to prevent and combat corruption and negativity; proactively detect and strictly handle violations in inspection, supervision, and Party discipline enforcement work...

Timely review and strictly enforce discipline according to regulations

In particular, Article 4 of this regulation clearly specifies 22 items including corrupt and negative acts in inspection, supervision, enforcement of Party discipline and in inspection and auditing activities that are strictly prohibited. In particular, typical acts include: bribery, accepting bribes, brokering bribes, bribing responsible persons, positions, powers or related persons to reduce or evade responsibility for violators. Providing or disclosing information, documents and records of the inspected subject to organizations and individuals without authority or responsibility, especially information, documents and records in the process of inspection, supervision, enforcement of Party discipline or inspection and auditing. Receiving money, property, other material benefits or non-material benefits, participating in entertainment activities of the inspected subject or persons related to the inspected subject. Taking advantage of familiar relationships or using one's own advantages, work position, or reputation or that of others to influence, gain advantage, or put pressure on the inspected subject or related organizations or individuals for personal gain or other personal motives...

Regarding the handling of violations of abuse of position, power, power, corruption, and negativity, the regulation emphasizes the need to promptly consider and strictly discipline Party committees, Party organizations, and Party members who commit acts of corruption, negativity, cover up, or assist in corruption and negativity in inspection, supervision, Party discipline enforcement, and inspection and auditing activities. In cases where the violation is not serious enough to require disciplinary action, self-criticism must be taken, measures must be taken to correct the violation, shortcomings, and a commitment not to re-offend. In cases where Party members, cadres, civil servants, and public employees (including those who have transferred jobs or retired) violate the above 22 acts, they will be handled according to current regulations. In particular, cadres who are still working will also be subject to handling measures. Specifically, suspension from work, position, not being assigned to do staff work, professional work on inspection, supervision, enforcement of party discipline, inspection, auditing. Not planning, mobilizing, transferring, appointing, reappointing, conferring, promoting ranks, recommending for election, running for equivalent or higher positions, recognizing positions, conferring titles, commending according to regulations...

Uncle Ho taught us to be honest, upright, and “put public service first”; to be ashamed and “fearful” when doing wrong. The promulgation of Regulation 131 will be a “sword” of the Party organization, the government and law enforcement agencies, thereby illuminating the process of controlling power, preventing corruption... contributing to building our Party to be increasingly clean and strong.
