BEIJING, Feb. 20 (Xinhua) -- The Communist Party of China (CPC) vows
to put punishment and prevention on equal footing in its battle
against official corruption.
He Guoqiang, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI)
head, said at a plenary session of the CCDI on Jan. 14 that the
country would intensify its efforts in combating official
corruption.
The full text from He's report delivered to the plenary session was
released by Xinhua on Wednesday.
"The key to winning our war against official corruption is to put
punishment and prevention on equal footing," He said. "We will place
equal efforts in punishing crooked officials for their misconduct,
as well as in establishing an anti-corruption system to get rid of
corruption at its root."
He noted the CCDI was working on a five-year plan that would detail
the Party's anti-corruption initiatives starting from 2008.
He said this year marked the 30th anniversary of the country's
reform and opening-up drive. It was also the 30th anniversary of the
restoration of the CPC's discipline watchdogs and the year Beijing
hosted the Olympics. Therefore, anti-corruption work was of greater
significance than ever.
The watchdog head said the high intensity of the corruption fight
would be kept up, especially with focus on cases involving leading
officials.
In addition to punishment under the legal code, cadres behaving
badly can expect additional punishment ranging from a warning to
dismissal from their posts and expulsion from the Party.
He urged to step up anti-corruption education among Party members
and to promote "upright officials loyal to the Party and the Chinese
people, and those who dedicate themselves to solid work".
He added the Party would soon launch a series of supervisions and
inspections to ensure decisions and policies made at last October's
17th CPC National Congress and the scientific outlook on development
were carefully implemented.
Special efforts would be made to rectify malpractice in the fields
of environmental protection, food and medicine safety, work safety
and land appropriation, something which common citizens always pay
great attention to and voice vehemently against.
Supervision would be intensified on the management of social
security funds and the special fund for poverty and disaster relief.
