Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong, who is also head of
the Central Steering Committee for Anti-Corruption, made the statement while
chairing its 13th meeting in Hanoi on January 22 to review its performance in
2017 and devise tasks for 2018.
Speaking at the meeting, the Party leader highlighted the
achievements that the committee gained in corruption prevention and control
in the past year.
It is crucial to enhance education and communication of laws on
anti-corruption among people to fight against wrong and distorted
allegations, he added.
The Party chief also noted that the committee should focus on
directing the handling and effective prevention of the harassment for people
and enterprises (petty corruption) as well as strictly punishing and
eliminating corrupt officials from administrative agencies.
He called for the acceleration of the process of verification,
investigation, prosecution and adjudication of serious yet complicated
corruption and economic cases.
Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong asked the committee to
further strengthen its inspection and audit, particularly relating to the
fields of negative publicity and who are at potential risks of corruption and
waste.
