Mr. Nguyen Phu Cuong resigns as National Assembly delegate

Chairman of the Finance and Budget Committee Nguyen Phu Cuong has submitted a request to resign from his duties as a National Assembly delegate and from positions approved by the National Assembly.

The information was announced by Nguyen Tuan Anh, Deputy Head of the Delegation Affairs Committee, at a press conference before the 5th session of the 15th National Assembly on the morning of May 19. Mr. Nguyen Phu Cuong submitted his application on May 16, one day after the Central Committee agreed to let Mr. Cuong resign from his position as a member of the 13th Central Committee.

Mr. Nguyen Phu Cuong was the former Secretary of Dong Nai Provincial Party Committee for two terms 2015-2020 and 2020-2025. Five months ago, the Central Inspection Commission determined that the Party Executive Committee of Dong Nai Provincial People's Committee had violated the principle of democratic centralism and working regulations; lacked responsibility, loosened leadership and direction, allowing the Provincial People's Committee and many organizations and individuals to violate Party regulations and State laws in implementing a number of projects and equitization work. There were cadres and party members who had degraded in political ideology, ethics and lifestyle, violated regulations on what party members are not allowed to do and the responsibility to set an example, and were criminally prosecuted.

Mr. Nguyen Phu Cuong is one of the leaders of Dong Nai province who must take responsibility during the period he held the position of Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee of this province.

At the end of March, the Politburo warned the Standing Committee of Dong Nai Provincial Party Committee for the two terms 2010-2015 and 2015-2020 for violations causing serious consequences that are difficult to overcome, causing damage and risk of large losses of the state budget, causing outrage in society, and reducing the prestige of local Party committees and authorities.

"The National Assembly Standing Committee will submit to the National Assembly for consideration the decision to remove Mr. Nguyen Phu Cuong from his duties as a delegate and from his position approved by the National Assembly at this session," said Mr. Tuan Anh.
