N.A. Chairman Tran Thanh Man speaks at the event. |
He called for intensified political, ideological, ethical and lifestyle education among officials, civil servants, public employees and workers, alongside greater accountability in the fight against corruption. Full transparency in administrative procedures, internal spending rules, financial management and the use of public assets was ordered to block corrupt practices and prevent power abuse.
Strict enforcement of asset and income declarations, open personnel appointment processes, rigorous disciplinary measures, enhanced media and public supervision over the N.A. Office’s operations, and wider adoption of information technology to shrink opportunities for corruption, were also highlighted.
He directed faster decentralization and delegation of authority in association with power control and clear accountability. State management must move away from “ask-and-give” practices and shift from pre-approval to post-audit oversight, with central bodies setting mechanisms and policies and localities bearing implementation responsibility.
A legislative orientation scheme for the 16th N.A. must be promptly submitted to the Politburo for consideration, with priority on high-risk areas, including public assets, state capital in enterprises, public investment, bidding, public procurement, budgeting, public finance, land and mineral resources, he said.
According to him, transparency and objectivity when deciding major national issues is a must, from socio-economic development strategies, national budget allocations, to key infrastructure projects, social welfare policies and major orientations to global integration.
Additional measures include broader public awareness of Party guidelines and State laws on anti-corruption, higher professional standards and service ethics among officials and staff, and accelerated digital transformation in legislative management and monitoring to boost transparency, discipline and lawmaking efficiency.
