Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung has emphasized transparency in the inspection mechanism and the legal system so as to avoid abuse of loop holes for self-interest.
Dung made the requirement at a meeting to mark the 65th founding anniversary of the Vietnam Inspectorate and receive the Gold Star Order in Hanoi on Tuesday.
He said the inspection force should continue with upgrading relevant mechanisms and procedures as well as improving the quality of the work for settling petitions and claims and corruption control.
“Efforts should be made to remove problems and limitations in the legal system in order to eliminate the attempt to abuse legal loop holes for illegitimate interests and negative phenomena,” said the government leader.
The Gold Star Order, the highest decoration of the Vietnamese Government, was presented to the inspectorate in recognition of the force’s contributions to detecting and punishing negative phenomena and corruption.
Dung also recognized inspectors’ efforts in discovering numerous problems and limitations in the existing policies and mechanisms as well as their recommendations for adjustments of these weak points, thus contributing to improving the quality of state management in various fields.
“The work of receiving ordinary people, dealing with letters of petition and solving citizens’ complaints and petitions have increasingly improved, thus protecting people’s legitimate rights and ensuring management disciplines, political security and social order,” he concluded.
Over the past five years, the inspectorate has uncovered nearly VND47.4 trillion (about US$2.4 billion) and over $7 million misappropriated in economic cases. The force has helped take back over VND18 trillion and almost $994,000 for the state coffer.
