Party discipline inspection and supervision organs at all levels are expected to play their role to the full in the ongoing anti-corruption drive and in facilitating the building of honest government, said a senior Party official.
At a two-day national working conference on Party discipline inspection and supervision which closed in Beijing Thursday, Cao Qingze, deputy executive secretary of the Chinese Communist Party (CPC) Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, called for enhanced efforts to battle corruption.
He Yong, minister of supervision, said that supervision departments have achieved remarkable progress in anti-corruption work, and have contributed a great deal to the reform and economic development and stability over the past five years.
From 1995 to 1999, the supervision sector dealt with more than 80,000 economic cases and gave Party disciplinary and administrative penalties to about 70,000 persons, he said, adding that the work averted losses of 38.5 billion yuan for the state.
The minister called for enhancing supervision over the implementation of macro-control policies and measures taken by the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, cases involving people's rights and interests, and laws and regulations enacted by state administrations.
He stressed the importance of the role of the inspection and supervision over the management and use of state bonds, and the real estate market, the reform of the grain circulation system and the management of social security funds.
He urged related departments to seriously deal with persons responsible for major violations.
