Inspection commission proposes discipline against officials over serious violations

Hanoi (VNA) – The Party Central Committee’s Inspection Commission convened its 56th session in Hanoi on May 29 under the chair of Politburo member and Chairman of the commission Nguyen Duy Ngoc.

The commission reviewed reports proposing disciplinary action against Party members from the Party organisations of the Ministry of Education and Training, the Vietnam Rubber Group, and Dong Nai and Hau Giang provinces.

Nguyen Thi Kim Chi, Deputy Minister of Education and Training and a member of the Party Committee’s Standing Board at the ministry, was found to have committed violations during her previous tenure as a member of the Standing Board of the Party Committee of Nghe An and Secretary of the Cua Lo town Party Committee. She violated the Party’s regulations and the State’s laws, causing serious consequences and undermining the prestige of Party organisation.

Tran Ngoc Thuan, former member of the Standing Board of the Party Committee of the Central Enterprises' Bloc, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of the Vietnam Rubber Group; Vo Van Chanh, former member of the Standing Board of the Party Committee and Vice Chairman of the People’s Committee of Dong Nai province; and Nguyen Van Tien, former member of the Party Committee and Vice Chairman of the People’s Council of Hau Giang province, showed degradation in political ideology, morality, and lifestyle, seriously violated the Party’s regulations and the State’s laws while performing their tasks in the fight against corruption and other negative phenomena. They breached the rules on the things Party members are banned from doing and on the responsibility for setting good examples, causing serious consequences and undermining the prestige of Party organisation, local administration, and their working places.

Based on the content, nature, extent, consequences, and causes of the violations, the commission decided to issue a disciplinary warning to Chi. It recommended that competent authorities consider implementing disciplinary measures against Thuan, Chanh, and Tien.

It also ordered the Standing Board of the Nghe An province Party Committee to consider and handle other related individuals.

The meeting also reviewed and resolved five cases of Party disciplinary complaints and concluded several other important matters./.
