Senior Communist Party of China (CPC) leader Wu Guanzheng called
for intensified efforts to fight against corruption, saying "only
by doing so, can we win the trust of the people."
Wu, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of
the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, made the call
at a group discussion of the Shandong Delegation to the ongoing
first session of the 10th National People's Congress (NPC)
Wednesday afternoon.
Wu
said the important thought of "Three Represents", established as a
guiding principle of the CPC by the 16th CPC National Congress in
November last year, should also serve as a guide to the drive of
improving the CPC members' conduct and building a clean
government.
He
said that greater efforts have to be made to fight corruption and
mete out severe punishments on whoever daring to take the law in
their own hands, irrespective of their positions.
He
also stressed the necessity to curb unhealthy tendencies in certain
departments and sectors.
The senior Party official said that it was necessary to start with
institutional innovation to prevent and control corruption at the
roots. For this purpose, he noted, it is necessary to step up
reform of the administrative approval system, the financial
management system and the personnel management system so as to
create a mechanism that will help officials wield their power well,
control the financial resources effectively and using people
appropriately.
He
also stressed the necessity to establish a good power operation
system, subjecting officials, especially leading officials, to
supervision and restriction in wielding their powers.
