According to the commission, those violations and mistakes are attributable to the Party civil affairs committee at the MoIT in the 2016-2021 and 2021-2026 tenures, the standing boards of the Party Committees of the ministry and related departments, as well as the ministry’s many officials, including Tran Tuan Anh, Politburo member, head of the Party Central Committee’s Economic Commission, former Secretary of the Party civil affairs committee at the MoIT and former Minister of the MoIT; Do Thang Hai, member of the the Party civil affairs committee at the MoIT and Deputy Minister of the MoIT; Hoang Quoc Vuong, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of the Members’ Council of the Vietnam Oil and Gas Group (PetroVietnam), former member of the Party civil affairs committee at the MoIT and former Deputy Minister of the MoIT; and Nguyen Anh Tuan, member of the Party civil affairs committee at the MoIT, Vice Secretary of the ministry’s Party Committee and head of the ministry’s Department of Organization and Personnel; among others.
To be blamed for the above-said violations and mistakes are also the standing board of the Party Committee of the Vietnam Electricity in the 2015 - 2020, 2020 – 2025 tenures and a number of officials, including Trinh Dinh Dung, former member of the Party Central Committee, former Deputy Prime Minister; Mai Tien Dung, former member of the Party Central Committee, former Minister-Chairman of the Government’s Office; Duong Quang Thanh, former Chairman of the Members’ Council of Vietnam Electricity; Tran Dinh Nhan, former General Director of Vietnam Electricity, and some other officials, the commission said.
The above-said violations have caused serious consequences with possible huge losses of the State’s funding and assets and waste of social resources, negatively affecting the prestige of the Party organization and State agencies, that calls for disciplinary measures.
The Inspection Commission required the Party civil affairs at the MoIT and Party committees and organizations at related ministries, sectors, localities and agencies to conduct review, define the specific responsibilities and decide disciplinary measures regarding the said Party organizations and members, and report the results to the commission.
The commission also decided to expel Luu Binh Nhuong, former deputy head of the National Assembly’s Ombudsman Committee, from the Party for showing degradation in political ideology, morality and lifestyle, violating the Party’s regulations and the State’s laws and abusing his position and power for personal gains.
The outcomes of inspections of some Party organizations and Party members were also tabled for discussion at the meeting. The commission requested that those Party organizations and Party members continue to uphold their strong points and draw lessons from the mistakes and violations uncovered during the inspections.
