An amended anti-corruption bill which would remove the Prime Minister
from acting as head of the Anti-Corruption Steering Committee was submitted to
the National Assembly on Friday.
Under the bill, which is proposed
by Government Inspectorate chief Huynh Phong Tranh, control over the
Anti-Corruption Steering Committee would shift from the PM to the Communist
Party general secretary.
Accordingly, the committee would
work under the authority of the Politburo, with Party general secretary being
the head of the committee.
Nguyen Van Hien, chief of the
National Assembly’s Judicial Committee agreed with the amendment.
“The change (will) ensure that
the Party Central Committee will have consistent leadership power over the
whole political system in the fight against corruption,” Hien said
The amended Anti-Corruption Law
will be discussed in group meetings by National Assembly deputies. By the end
of the NA session next month, the deputies will vote to approve the law.
The draft law also stipulates
that leaders of state-owned groups, including board members, general director,
deputy general director and chief accountant, must publicize their annual
income, including salary and other bonuses, between April 1 and 30 every year.
Vietnamese legislators are
attending the 4th session of the 11th National Assembly that begun in Hanoi
October 22 and is scheduled to run through November 23.
