Government Inspectorate reviews six-month performance

The Government Inspectorate held a press conference in Hanoi on July 23 to disclose the inspection results from the first half of this year. 

From January-June, the agency conducted 2,842 administrative inspections and 116,334 specialised ones nationwide, detecting economic law violations involving almost VND11.3 trillion (around US$525 million) and 655.7 hectares of land. 

The sector proposed reclaiming nearly VND7.6 trillion (US$362 million) and 514.7 hectares of land, of which VND6.2 trillion (US$295.3 million) has already been returned to the State budget. 

Inspectors also issued 106,562 decisions on offending organisations and individuals, collecting VND1.8 trillion (US$83.1 million) in fines, and passed 28 cases involving 76 individuals to criminal investigation agencies. 

During the period, the agency brought 29 corruption cases to light with 58 people and VND27.5 billion  (US$1.3 million) involved. 

Deputy Chief of the Government Inspectorate Ngo Van Khanh said in the second half of this year, the agency will continue inspecting corruption-prone fields such as land management, natural resources, construction investment, finance, banking and trade. 

The sector will work to ensure the progress, quality and efficiency of the inspections while fine-tuning anti-corruption mechanisms and ensuring transparency and publicity in budgets and land and natural resources management, he added.
