On November 30, a source from Lao Dong Newspaper confirmed that the Dak Nong Department of Construction has just issued a document revoking the practice certificates of Mr. Le Thanh Chung - Deputy Director of the Provincial Construction Investment Project Management Board.
According to the document (No. 278/QD-SXD), the Department of Construction revoked the certificate of construction supervision of road and bridge traffic works - Class II, valid until July 19, 2026; Construction supervision of technical infrastructure works - Class II; Management of traffic and technical infrastructure projects - Class II, valid until March 22, 2028.
The Department of Construction also revoked the above certificates issued to Mr. Chung (including certificates that expired in 2018 and 2023, respectively).
The reason for revoking Mr. Chung's construction practice certificate is that he used an illegal university degree to apply for a construction practice certificate.
Previously, Mr. Chung sent a dossier to the Department of Construction Management, Ministry of Construction, requesting a certificate of practice in the construction field.
The file contains many types of documents. Among them, there is a university degree issued by the University of Transport on May 25, 2007. Afterwards, the Department of Construction Management sent a document to the University of Transport to authenticate the above degree.
On October 14, the University of Transport issued a document confirming that the school did not grant Mr. Chung a degree in bridge and road construction; the information about his graduation degree is incorrect.
Since then, the Department of Construction Management has sent an official dispatch and requested the Dak Nong Department of Construction to review the documents and revoke the issued practice certificate according to regulations.
