Hanoi (VNA) - Legislators deliberated the fight against corruption in 2020 during the
10th sitting of the 14th National Assembly on October 26.
Reports presented point
out that corruption has been contained and is decreasing.
This is
attributable to synchronous prevention solutions, the strict settlement of
corruption cases, and the popularisation and mobilisation work of the entire Party and agencies,
especially the implementation of a resolution adopted at the fourth plenums of
the 11th and 12th Party Central Committee, according to a
Government report.
The situation, however,
remains complex, with sophisticated acts that are hard to detect, it said.
Corruption cases
have been found in larger numbers in sectors such as land management and use,
infrastructure construction, banking and credit, and the management and use of
finance, budget, capital, and public assets.
In an appraisal
report, head of the NA Committee for Judicial Affairs Le Thi Nga suggested
the Government review the situation and put forth effective solutions, which, she
said, should match the latest circumstances.
At the meeting,
Pham Van Hoa, a deputy from the Mekong Delta province of Dong Thap, said the fight
against corruption has produced marked outcomes, helping raise confidence among
officials, Party members, and the people.
There still remains
the practice for group benefits, he said, causing injustices in infrastructure
investment and public procurement. The recovery of corrupt assets has also made
slow progress.
Corruption can be
found even in law enforcement, he went on, proposing the Government quickly issue
specific regulations to monitor the property and incomes of those in high office.
Deputy Nguyen
Thanh Thuy from the Mekong Delta province of Hau Giang called on the Government
to soon roll out IT infrastructure to better prevent corruption./.
