Scene from the meeting

Regarding the direction and tasks for 2026, the Deputy Inspector General of the Government stated that the focus will continue to be on building and perfecting a comprehensive legal system, fully institutionalizing the Party's guidelines and policies on preventing and combating corruption, waste, and negative phenomena into law, and avoiding difficulties and bottlenecks in implementing the two-tiered local government model.

In addition, focus on inspection and supervision to promptly detect, prevent, and handle violations, corruption, waste, and negative practices; develop science, technology, and innovation, especially administrative procedure reform; build and share national databases; and expand international cooperation on anti-corruption...

Deputy Chairman of the Committee on Law and Justice Nguyen Manh Cuong delivered a speech.

In reviewing this report, the Committee on Law and Justice found that the investigation, prosecution, and trial of corruption and economic cases were fundamentally carried out seriously and in compliance with legal regulations. The recovery of assets obtained through corruption, even during the investigation phase, has shown significant progress and achieved positive results.

The achievements further affirm that the fight against corruption, waste, and negative phenomena is becoming increasingly effective and resolute, creating a widespread impact in society, and is supported and endorsed by officials, Party members, and the people.

However, some of the Party's policies on preventing and combating corruption, waste, and negative phenomena have been slow to be institutionalized. The quality of some documents remains limited, and the delay in issuing detailed implementing regulations has not been completely resolved. Propaganda and education efforts have not been highly effective; the implementation of some anti-corruption measures still has limitations...

Deputy Chairperson of the Committee on Law and Justice Mai Thi Phuong Hoa delivered a speech.

The Committee on Law and Justice recommends that the Government conduct a comprehensive review and assessment, fully identify the limitations and causes, and propose breakthrough solutions to meet the requirements of the new situation.

Furthermore, in 2025, with the promulgation, amendment, and supplementation of many laws reflecting a new legislative mindset, promoting decentralization and delegation of power, and implementing mechanisms to resolve difficulties and obstacles arising from legal provisions as stipulated in Resolution No. 206/2025/QH15, while addressing difficulties and obstacles, it also poses direct challenges to the control of power and the prevention and fight against corruption, waste, and negative practices. Therefore, it is proposed that the Government continue to study and propose appropriate solutions.

Deputy Inspector General of the Government Le Tien Dat reported at the meeting.

+ The draft Law amending and supplementing a number of articles of the Law on Prevention and Combat of Corruption includes 2 articles, amending and improving 16 contents in 16/96 articles; making technical amendments in 7 articles and declaring the removal of 1 content in another Law, focusing on 4 major contents.

National Assembly Deputy Phan Thị Mỹ Dung (Tay Ninh) delivered a speech.

Regarding the increase in the threshold for declaring the value of assets and income from 50 million to 150 million VND for precious metals, gemstones, money, securities, and other assets; and the increase in the threshold for declaring changes in value within the year from 300 million to 1 billion VND, the opinions generally agreed on adjusting these increases to suit the practical socio-economic situation, focusing on controlling the declaration of high-value assets and reducing unnecessary administrative procedures.

On the other hand, some suggest that instead of rigidly stipulating monetary amounts in the Law, the Government should be left to specify the exact amounts, allowing for flexible adjustments in each stage.
