The shortcomings and violations of the Party Executive Committee of the Quang Nam Provincial People's Committee and many related Party organizations and individuals, especially the heads of Party committees, authorities, localities and key leaders at all levels, have been reviewed and handled by competent authorities. However, this is a costly and painful lesson in the failure to strictly implement Party regulations and State laws; advise, develop, promulgate and implement working regulations; lack of responsibility in leading and directing inspection and supervision work leading to violations, causing serious consequences, damage and risk of large losses of State money and assets; some officials and leaders violated the law on anti-corruption, creating bad public opinion, causing prolonged and complicated disputes and complaints in the area, affecting and reducing the prestige of Party organizations and local authorities. The incident shows that the main cause of violations is that party organizations and party members, especially leaders of party committees, party organizations and authorities, do not have correct and complete awareness of legal regulations, which are still simple and sketchy, and follow the "old way" (they continue to do it the same way after implementing it) and do not review and research regulations to suit reality, leading to prolonged violations; lack of inspection and supervision, especially in sensitive areas where violations are likely to arise; some cadres have degraded political ideology, ethics and lifestyle.
From the above incident, to overcome shortcomings and violations; focus on Party building and rectification work and the political system; strictly implement working regulations; strengthen the Party's inspection and supervision work; lead and direct the implementation of local political tasks well; consolidate and enhance people's trust in the Party's leadership role, the government's management and operation, contributing to maintaining discipline and order, building a clean and strong Party, some lessons can be drawn as follows:
The first , Focus on leading, directing, handling and overcoming violations and shortcomings that have been pointed out through inspections; relevant party organizations and individuals proactively coordinate to report, explain, provide records and documents, honestly and voluntarily recognize violations and shortcomings. On that basis, competent party organizations will consider and weigh many aspects to handle, creating conditions for party organizations and party members to have the opportunity to correct, overcome and develop...
Second, focus on the work of building and rectifying the Party and the political system; strictly implement working regulations in accordance with the practical situation of political tasks of localities, agencies and units; especially advise and promptly review and amend and supplement working regulations with a number of contents in accordance with regulations and instructions of the Central Committee; clearly define the tasks and powers of organizations and individuals and working principles and regimes ; specify major, sensitive and important issues on socio-economics, budget, national defense and security, etc. to focus on properly implementing the principle of democratic centralism , such as submitting them to the Party Executive Committee for discussion, careful deliberation, consensus and collective resolution before reporting and submitting them to the Standing Committee, the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, and the Provincial Party Executive Committee for decision, especially investment policies and investment approvals for major and key projects. At the same time, regularly self-check the construction and implementation of working regulations to promptly add new content according to regulations.
Third, strengthen, regularly lead, direct and implement the tasks of inspection and supervision of party organizations and party members, especially regularly inspect and supervise sensitive areas and positions, prone to violations, corruption, negativity, and of public concern, such as: Covid-19 prevention and control; large and key investment projects; land management and use;... to proactively detect shortcomings, limitations, shortcomings, violations, promptly remind, warn, rectify, correct, overcome, prevent violations from afar, resolve early, do not let shortcomings prolong into violations, small violations accumulate into major violations. In addition, consider, handle or recommend competent organizations to handle Strictly and promptly punish organizations and individuals who violate to the extent that disciplinary action must be taken, with the motto "no forbidden areas, no exceptions" , regardless of who that person is, to "fear and not dare" to commit corruption and negativity.
Fourth, cadres and party members, especially leaders and key leaders, must uphold the spirit of responsibility, set an example, be pioneers, be exemplary, speak and act in accordance with the Party's guidelines, policies, and regulations, the State's policies and laws, and regulations on what party members are not allowed to do...; truly be a shining example for cadres, party members and the masses to follow. At the same time, always be an example in self-criticism and criticism that is truly receptive, self-aware, honest, sincere, impartial, not evasive, chasing after achievements, overcoming the state of being deferential, evasive, and afraid of conflict; when there are shortcomings or violations, they must clearly recognize their responsibility before the Party and the people and have a plan to correct, self-examine, and correct themselves promptly. Resolutely fight, prevent, and push back the degradation of political ideology, ethics, and lifestyle, and the manifestations of "self-evolution" and "self-transformation" in a number of cadres and party members. In particular, facing the temptation and negative impact of the current market economy , cadres and party members need to voluntarily cultivate and improve their moral qualities and lifestyle; especially in performing assigned duties, tasks and powers, leaders must cultivate and train themselves seriously, persistently and regularly to develop their personality in the market mechanism. In addition, it is important to pay attention to the leadership and direction of consolidating and perfecting the cadre team, especially cadres who are leaders and key leaders at all levels in rotating, arranging and assigning sensitive positions and work areas that are prone to violations, avoiding the situation where cadres who commit violations are disciplined for performing work in the "old way" of the past.
Thursday, The power of those in positions of authority, if not strictly controlled, will lead to abuse of power and abuse of power; is the source of degradation in political ideology, ethics, and lifestyle of cadres and party members. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen control over the power of those in positions of authority, especially the role and responsibility of leaders in exercising power to prevent and repel corruption and negativity; clearly define the responsibility of leaders in inspecting, detecting, and handling corruption and negativity; protect those who dare to fight against corruption and negativity./.
