"A segment of officials, civil servants, and public employees, especially leading and managerial cadres, show signs of working half-heartedly, avoiding responsibility, and being afraid to make mistakes, which negatively impacts socio -economic development and the handling of affairs for citizens and businesses," Mr. Phong stated.
The reasons cited include the fact that in some places, leaders have not been truly exemplary or decisive, their words have not matched their actions, and their actions have not matched their words in leading, directing, and organizing the implementation of anti-corruption and anti-negative practices; a segment of cadres, civil servants, and public employees, including leading and managerial cadres, lack self-cultivation and training or have deteriorated in terms of political ideology, morality, and lifestyle.
The government assesses that, in 2023, the achievements in combating corruption and negative phenomena were very important, contributing to maintaining political stability, socio-economic development, strengthening the people's trust in the leadership of the Party and the State, making an important contribution to enhancing Vietnam's position and prestige in the international arena, creating new momentum and enthusiasm for the entire Party and people to successfully implement the Resolutions of the 13th National Congress of the Party.
However, corruption remains a common problem for the world and the region in the coming period, with complex and unpredictable developments. Vietnam also faces many challenges in combating corruption and negative practices.
"Corruption is becoming increasingly sophisticated and complex; many cases are organized and involve vested interests; corrupt assets are of high value and have foreign elements; corruption occurs not only in the state sector but also in the non-state sector, hindering fair competition and affecting the investment and business environment," the Inspector General stated.
The Government's direction and tasks for 2024 include continuing to improve and implement comprehensively and effectively solutions to prevent corruption and negative practices; building a team of officials at all levels, especially strategic-level management officials, with sufficient qualities, capabilities, and prestige to meet the requirements of the tasks in the new situation…
