Hanoi (VNA) - The Politburo and the Party Central Committee’s Secretariat convened a meeting on January 27 to consider disciplinary measures on a number of Party organisations and members for violating Party regulations.

The collectives included the Party Civil Affairs delegation of the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT) in the 2016-2021 tenure.

After considering the proposal of the Party Central Committee’s Inspection Commission, members of the Politburo and Secretariat concluded that this delegation violated the principle of democratic centralism, the Party regulations, State laws and working regulations, and showed a lack of responsibility and relaxed direction and leadership, leading to many wrongdoings that caused serious consequences as well as a risk of great loss of money and assets of the State, investors, and consumers, and a waste of social resources.

The delegation is also responsible for many criminal cases in the MoIT with the involvement of many officials, triggering public concern, and negatively affecting the reputation of Party organisations and State management agencies, they said.

It also ignored the directions and decisions of authorised agencies, while issuing and implementing working regulations that went against the rule of the Politburo, and issuing resolutions that violated the working regulations, and failing to seriously implement the instructions of the Politburo and the Prime Minister. Therefore, criminal cases occurred at the MoIT, with many officials and Party members violating the law, and many members of the delegation and Deputy Ministers prosecuted and detained.

At the meeting, the Politburo and the Secretariat also discussed violations of some Party organisations and members at the Party Organisation of northern Bac Ninh province, including the Party Committee of Bac Ninh in the 2010-2015 and 2015-2020 tenures, as well as former Secretary of the provincial Party Committee and former Chairman of the provincial People's Committee Nguyen Nhan Chien, former Deputy Secretary of the provincial Party Committee and former Chairman of the provincial People's Committee Nguyen Tu Quynh.

They also discussed wrongdoings by some Party members of the Party Organisations of Lam Dong and An Giang provinces, including member of the Party Central Committee and Chairman of the People's Committee of Lam Dong Tran Duc Quan.

Concluding the meeting, the Politburo and the Secretariat decided to give warnings to the Executive Boards of the Party Committee of Bac Ninh in the 2010-2015 and 2015-2020 tenures.

Former Deputy Prime Minister Trinh Dinh Dung and former Minister - head of the Government Office Mai Tien Dung were reprimanded.

The Politburo and Secretariat proposed the Party Central Committee to expel former Secretary of the Bac Ninh Party Committee and former Chairman of the Bac Ninh provincial People's Committee Nguyen Nhan Chien; and member of the Party Central Committee, Secretary of the Lam Dong Party Committee, and Chairman of the Lam Dong provincial People's Council from the Party.
