According to the municipal Steering Committee for Corruption Prevention and Control, the people ‘s committees in the nine districts of Hoan Kiem, Hoang Mai, Ha Dong, Ba Vi, Thach That, Quoc Oai, My Duc, Me Linh and Ung Hoa will be examined.

The nine sectors to be checked are the city’s departments of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs, Custom and Taxation, the Housing Development and Investment and Corporation, the key projects management units, the Youth Union, the Investment and Development Fund, the State Treasury and the State Bank.

Deputy head of the Steering Committee Dao Xuan Mui said the aim is to boost the sense of responsibility by officials in fighting corruption.

The examination was also designed to evaluate implementation of the Law on Corruption Prevention and access any difficulties in executing legal documents on anti-corruption.

Little interest

Mui said the move will also concentrate on checking progress in dealing with corruption cases, of which only 12 have been solved and 35 are still on hold.

In the first seven months of this year, property related corruption charges were estimated at VND487.16 billion .

The delay in some cases is due to weak communication between relevant agencies.
