Hanoi (VNA) –💦 The Government Inspectorate held a teleconferencein Hanoi on July 27 to review its performance in the first six months of 2018and set out tasks for the last half of the year.
As heard from reports at the function, the sector carriedout 3,800 administrative inspections and over 92,900 specialised inspections,which detected violations of economic laws and regulations involving the misuseof close to 9.9 trillion VND (426.3 million USD) and over 32,600ha of land. Itproposed reclaiming 7.9 trillion VND (340.17 million USD) and nearly 360ha ofland.
In addition, the sector received some 200,000 citizens and tackledmore than 12,332 out of 87,000 complaints under its authority.
At the event, Deputy Prime Minister Truong Hoa Binh praised thesector’s improvements in inspection and combating corruption, but pointed to anumber of shortcomings that need to be promptly addressed.
The shortcomings included slow progress in conclusion-making,slow and ineffective handling of citizens’ complaints, and a low detection rateof corruption cases.
He noted that while one group of inspectors remainincompetent and cannot handle complicated specialised inspections, others havegood skills but lack transparency.
Regarding tasks for the remaining months of the year, Binhrequested the sector to focus on law-building activities, particularlycollaborating with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment to reviewthe enforcement of the Land Law for necessary amendments.
He added that the resolution of complaints and petitions isalso important, particularly long, drawn-out ones that involve a large numberof people. Many cases of this kind resulted from people lacking relevant legalknowledge, and as such, education and consultation to raise public awareness isneeded, he said.
He requested the Government Inspectorate to deploycomprehensive solutions to detecting and promptly addressing corruption cases,particularly in sensitive fields like land management and business investment.
🍌 Binh said the inspection progress should be spedup, adding that the Government Inspectorate should work closely with the NationalAssembly’s Committee for Judicial Affairs to complete the revisedanti-corruption law. –VNA
