​Da Nang leader given warning as city’s Party chief faces disciplinary actions

Saturday, September 30, 2017, 10:11 GMT+7

The chairman of the central Vietnamese city of Da Nang has been given a warning, whereas its Party chief now faces disciplinary actions for their multiple violations unearthed by the Inspection Commission under Vietnam’s Party Central Committee earlier this month.

During its 18th session in Hanoi on Friday, the Inspection Commission decided to give a strong warning to Huynh Duc Tho, deputy secretary of the Da Nang Party Committee and chairman of the municipal People’s Committee, the Vietnam News Agency reported.

Tho, who is also secretary of the Party delegation to the municipal People’s Committee, was disciplined for holding responsibility for violations committed by the municipal Party Committee’s Standing Board for the 2015-2020 tenure and those in land and urban management, according to the Vietnam News Agency.

At the same session, the commission officials also looked into taking disciplinary actions against the Standing Board of the Da Nang Party Committee for the 2015-2020 tenure and its secretary Nguyen Xuan Anh.

Discipline urged for Da Nang secretary

A member of the Party Central Committee, Anh is also chairman of the municipal decision-making People’s Council.

At the session, the commission said Anh had made many serious violations that hurt the prestige of the municipal Party Organization and authorities and causing concern among officials, Party members and people.

Consequently, the commission called on the Politburo and the Party Central Committee to consider disciplining the Standing Board of the Da Nang municipal Party Committee for the 2015-2020 tenure and Nguyen Xuan Anh within their jurisdiction, according to the Vietnam News Agency.

Anh has been found to “hold the main responsibility” for multiple violations by the municipal Party Committee’s Standing Board during the 2015-2020 tenure, the Party Central Committee’s Inspection Commission said in a report earlier this month.

Anh violated “the principle of democratic centralism” and Party and state regulations on personnel work by making arbitrary appointments to city government positions, actions that caused division and affected the solidarity and unity in the Standing Board of the Party Committee, according to the report.

The Da Nang Party secretary has also been found to use inappropriate certifications and dishonesty in declaration, which also violated the code of ethics for Party members.

The Party Central Committee’s Inspection Commission also condemned him for “not being conscious of setting an example” when receiving two cars and two houses as “gifts” from private enterprises, creating public outrage, according to the Vietnam News Agency.
