(NLDO) - Directive No. 42 of the Politburo on strengthening education on thrift, integrity, impartiality and impartiality has raised a core issue: the integrity of cadres.
Standing member of the Secretariat Tran Cam Tu has just signed and issued Directive No. 42 of the Politburo on strengthening the Party's leadership in education work of diligence, thrift, integrity, impartiality, and impartiality. In it, the Politburo requires cadres and party members to respect integrity and not be corrupt or wasteful.
This is not only a matter of personal ethics but also a decisive factor in work efficiency and people's trust in the public apparatus.
Integrity - two simple words but an important measure of a cadre's dignity. It is moral purity, self-respect and honor, the boundary between right and wrong that each cadre and party member must draw for themselves.
In reality, we have witnessed many cases where officials lost their integrity due to lack of integrity. A typical example is the incident that occurred in the health sector. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, some officials in the health sector took advantage of the emergency situation to profit from the purchase of medical supplies, medicines, vaccines and epidemic prevention equipment. These officials are responsible for protecting people's health, but they chose the path of corruption, directly affecting the epidemic prevention work, causing losses of people and property.
The most recent case was at Van Thinh Phat Group, where a number of bank officials assisted the company in committing fraud and appropriating people's assets through bond issuance.
Worse, many officials, when involved in wrongdoing, try to cover up, shift blame or avoid responsibility. Typically, in the Viet A case, many officials deliberately erased traces, denied responsibility and tried to blame their subordinates. Or in the AIC case, some related officials fled abroad, demonstrating the lack of responsibility and integrity of officials.
Shameless officials are the root cause of many evils in the government apparatus. Because, when there is no self-respect and honor, people easily trade their conscience for personal gain. The consequences of this are not only economic losses but also a serious decline in people's trust. When people no longer trust the government apparatus, any policy, no matter how good, will be difficult to implement effectively.
Therefore, building a team of honest and ethical cadres is not only an urgent requirement but also a vital task of the system.
To build and strengthen integrity among cadres, it is necessary to implement many synchronous solutions. First of all, it is necessary to strengthen education on revolutionary ethics, with special attention paid to education on integrity. In addition, it is necessary to have a mechanism to strictly control power, creating a transparent working environment so that cadres "cannot be corrupt or negative".
The motto "don't want, can't, don't dare, don't need" corruption and negativity must be enforced strongly and transparently. In which, "don't want" is a manifestation of integrity - when officials set ethical limits for themselves.
Of course, to achieve this, in addition to the self-awareness of each individual, there also needs to be appropriate material conditions - that is, "improving the lives of cadres, party members, civil servants, and public employees".
The responsibility of leading officials and leaders to set an example must also be thoroughly understood. When leaders clearly demonstrate integrity in work and life, they not only create trust in their subordinates but also contribute to building a culture of integrity throughout the entire system.
On the contrary, if the leader lacks integrity, the consequences will be extremely serious.
Frankly speaking, integrity is the "moral compass" of a cadre.
This is not only the Party's request but also the people's legitimate demand. Only when the cadres truly respect integrity and take it as a guiding principle for their actions, can Vietnam build a clean and effective administration that meets the people's expectations and leads the country into a new era.
