Continuing the program of the 14th Party Congress, on the afternoon of January 21, on behalf of the Party Committee of the Central Internal Affairs Commission, Mr. Dang Van Dung - Deputy Head of the Central Internal Affairs Commission - presented a paper with the theme: Resolutely and persistently fighting to prevent and repel corruption, wastefulness, and negativity.
Mr. Dang Van Dung clearly stated that corruption is a negative social phenomenon, regardless of political regime and level of development.
Corruption, wastefulness, and negativity cause serious damage to public resources; infringe on the proper operation of the Party and State apparatus; distort justice and social justice; reduce trust and threaten the survival of the Party and the regime.
According to Mr. Dang Van Dung, in the term of the 13th National Congress, for the first time, the investigation, prosecution, and trial of embezzlement crimes occurred in non-state sectors and the investigation, prosecution, and trial of both defendants and defendants who fled abroad were absent, affirming the strictness of the law and the very high political determination of the Party and State.
No forbidden zones, no exceptions are not just slogans, empty words but have become a vivid reality, agreed upon, recognized, and highly appreciated by cadres, party members, and people," Mr. Dang Van Dung said.
To promote the fight against corruption, wastefulness, and negativity, according to the Deputy Head of the Central Internal Affairs Commission, it is necessary to thoroughly grasp and seriously and effectively implement 3 requirements, 5 focuses, 3 breakthroughs, with the motto "Perseverance - Determination - Consensus - Comprehensive - Breakthrough" that General Secretary To Lam has concluded and directed.
Mr. Dang Van Dung said that to shift the focus to prevention, taking prevention as the main, basic, and long-term goal, it is necessary to strongly shift from "going after handling" to "going before control", from "doing the right thing" to "doing it substantively, with results", from "preventing to deter" to "building to be sustainable", from "investigating, handling" to "controlling, preventing", from "traditional management" to "digital governance", taking technology and data as tools to monitor and detect corruption, wastefulness, and negativity.
At the same time, reduce pre-inspection, increase post-inspection; conduct supervision with artificial intelligence; analyze big data to detect and prevent corruption, wastefulness, and negativity from early and remote, not allowing small violations to accumulate into large violations.
Along with perfecting institutions and laws, it is necessary to strengthen publicity, transparency, accountability and effectively control assets and income.
Reality shows that the more public, transparent, and accountable, the more effectively corruption, wastefulness, and negativity are prevented, there is no vacant area, no dark area.
It is necessary to build a set of criteria to evaluate the effectiveness of accountability, first of all, the satisfaction of the people, this is a key factor in accountability.
Research and improve the mechanism for initiating civil and administrative lawsuits of the People's Procuracy to increase prevention and handle violations early, not allowing them to drag on to the point of criminal prosecution.
Emphasizing that corruption and negativity are one of the "congenital flaws" of power, the Deputy Head of the Central Internal Affairs Commission clearly stated that it is necessary to strengthen and improve the effectiveness of power control.
It is necessary to focus on controlling power, preventing and combating corruption, wastefulness, and negativity associated with building a two-level local government apparatus that is truly incorruptible, close to the people, close to the grassroots level, serving the people," Mr. Dang Van Dung emphasized.
Mr. Dang Van Dung also proposed to focus on definitively resolving projects and works with difficulties, delays, backlogs, prolongations, risks of loss and waste, and buildings, land, and public assets that are redundant after arranging the organizational structure and administrative units.
Urgently concretize and institutionalize the Party's guidelines and viewpoints on handling violations of land law; on handling violations in cases and incidents in general and violations related to the private economy in particular to unlock resources and promote socio-economic development of the country.
