PM requires breakthroughs in anti-corruption in 2010
VGP – The Central Steering Committee for Anti-corruption today convened its 12th meeting to review its performance in 2009 and map out the follow-up missions.
The meeting was presided
over by PM Nguyễn Tấn Dũng and his deputy Trương Vĩnh Trọng, who are
respectively Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Committee.
PM Dũng underlined the need
of focusing on perfecting State management regimes, mechanisms and policies in
such “sensitive” fields like land management and use, customs, budget
collection and spending, and construction investment.
“The requirement is that,
in 2010, we must create breakthroughs [in the anti-corruption work] and
minimize corruption in those fields,” stressed the Government chief.
He also placed importance on the abrogation of troublesome administrative procedures which are, as he noted, “loopholes for dirty officials to make corrupt use…”
