General Secretary: "A correct inspection conclusion helps save thousands of billions"

(Dan Tri) - From many practical lessons, General Secretary To Lam emphasized that "a correct and objective inspection conclusion can help save thousands of billions of dong", removing a series of obstacles to promote development.

This view was shared by General Secretary To Lam in his speech at the 80th Anniversary of Vietnam Inspectorate's Tradition Day (November 23, 1945 - November 23, 2025), organized by the Government Inspectorate on the morning of November 17.

Inspection not only detects violations, but also creates transparency.

The General Secretary acknowledged that after 80 years of construction, development and growth, the Vietnamese Inspection sector has been part of the glorious historical journey of the country.

In particular, in the period of innovation and integration, inspection officers continue to be an important force in protecting the integrity of the state apparatus, preventing, detecting and handling violations, especially corruption, waste and negativity.

“It can be said that wherever there is inspection work, discipline is established, trust is strengthened, and the law is respected,” the General Secretary shared.

In recent times, Party leaders have assessed that the Inspection sector has been more proactive and determined, advising the Party and State on many mechanisms, policies, and strategic solutions in the work of preventing and combating corruption, waste, and negativity; organizing many large-scale thematic inspections, focusing on areas prone to violations, making an important contribution to the work of Party building and rectification.

In the context of the country entering a new stage of development with rapid, strong growth and deep integration, the General Secretary said that economic, social, technological and environmental challenges pose higher and more comprehensive requirements for the inspection work - the agency that plays the role of ensuring integrity, efficiency and fairness in State management.

“Inspection today is not only a tool to detect violations, but also an institution to create transparency, promote innovation, protect social stability and trust,” the General Secretary emphasized, adding that good governance must have a strong monitoring mechanism and the Inspection sector is the pillar of this mechanism.

Regarding the development orientation for the Inspection sector in the coming period, the General Secretary requested clarifying the mechanism, content, and methods of Party leadership in the inspection field, ensuring the comprehensive leadership of the Party, while respecting the principles of independence, objectivity, publicity, transparency, and compliance with the law.

Along with that, it is necessary to consider the work of inspection, receiving citizens, resolving complaints and denunciations, preventing corruption, waste and negativity as key political tasks, closely linked with the work of Party building and rectification and building a socialist rule-of-law state that is honest, creative and serves the people.

The General Secretary requested a strong innovation in the thinking and methods of inspection. “Inspection is not only to detect and handle violations, but also to prevent, create and promote development,” the General Secretary emphasized.

According to the General Secretary, each inspection must aim for a dual goal: early detection of violations to protect public assets, while creating conditions to remove difficulties and obstacles for organizations, businesses and people.

The General Secretary emphasized that preventing and combating corruption, waste, and negativity is not only to handle violations, but also to clean up the investment environment, strengthen trust, promote economic development, and ensure healthy and transparent competition.

Along with that, the General Secretary requested that inspection work need to shift its focus from "handling violations" to "early and remote prevention", combining administrative inspection with thematic inspection, and between on-site inspection and digital data analysis.

“Inspectors must be one step ahead, predict and warn of risks early, not allowing small violations to accumulate into major ones. All inspection activities must be objective, impartial, transparent, and adhere to the motto of no forbidden zones, no exceptions, but also not extreme or formal,” the General Secretary emphasized.

"Inspectors must always be the eyes and ears of superiors and the trust of subordinates."

Through inspection activities, the General Secretary emphasized the need to perfect institutions, policies and laws, detect and overcome "gaps" and "loopholes" in State management and law enforcement, creating a favorable environment for innovation, creativity and development.

Many lessons from practice have proven that a correct, objective, and timely inspection conclusion can help save thousands of billions of VND, remove a series of institutional obstacles, contribute to improving the investment environment, and promote socio-economic development, according to the General Secretary.

In the new period, the General Secretary also proposed promoting modernization, technology application and digital transformation in the Inspection sector, towards carrying out inspection work, resolving complaints and denunciations, monitoring and handling entirely in the digital environment - transparent, fast, effective and economical.

Another important content, according to the General Secretary, is to take care of Party building work and build a team of inspectors who are truly honest, courageous, intelligent, and proficient.

According to the General Secretary, an inspector must be a person with a “bright heart, a strong mind, a pure career, and correct actions”; have the courage to protect what is right, fight against what is wrong, and dare to take responsibility for the common good, just as Uncle Ho taught: “An inspector is like a mirror for people to look at themselves in; a cloudy mirror cannot reflect on them.”

At the same time, the General Secretary noted the need to perfect the mechanism to encourage and protect cadres who dare to think, dare to do, and dare to take responsibility; promptly reward honest people and strictly discipline violators, to create a clean, democratic, and united working environment.

Emphasizing coordination in inspection activities, the General Secretary emphasized the need to create favorable conditions for the sector to perform its functions and tasks well, so that inspection can truly become one of the important tools in building an honest, rule-of-law, and development-creating State.

“The Inspectorate must always be the eyes and ears of the superiors, the trust of the subordinates, a mirror reflecting the integrity and fairness of the State, and a solid support of the People for the Party and the regime,” said the General Secretary.

Keeping the inspection model clean, according to the General Secretary, is keeping the people's trust sustainable, keeping the public administration clean, effective and efficient.
