Business community and public officials have learnt how corruption works
and how to combat the scourge in a more efficient manner at a workshop in
northern Hai Phong city.
The workshop was co-organised by
the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI) and the World Bank (WB) on
March 23.
A report presented by the World Bank
warned that corruption in Vietnam still remains serious.
It found out that 45 percent of
the public officials who were surveyed for the report witnessed corrupt acts,
and 44 percent of enterprises and 28 percent of citizens had to make unofficial
payments. As much as 75 percent of the surveyed people said corruption was a
serious matter.
In its report to the workshop,
the Government Inspectorate of Vietnam pointed out that light punishments given
to corrupt people is one of the reasons behind the prevalence of corruption.
To make the fight against
corruption more efficient, the inspectorate suggested stipulating a law on
access to information, building a competent public service trusted by those who
report on corruption, establishing a corruption monitoring system, and raising
people’s awareness on the issue.
World Bank experts presented
their own solutions, including increasing transparency and publicity,
continuing administrative reform, and eliminating interest contradiction in
handling corrupt cases.
