Performing poorly may mean sack for officials
Print Edition
THE Communist Party of China issued a new regulation on officials’ performance yesterday, promising that ineptitude could result in demotion or dismissal.
While China has meted out tough punishments on corrupt officials, those who do their jobs half-heartedly rarely suffer consequences.
The new rules stipulate that officials who do not adhere to Party rules, are corrupt, irresponsible, incompetent, or who exhibit undesirable work styles, should be subject to “organizational adjustment,” a euphemism encompassing demotion and contract termination.
The regulation was finalized at a meeting of the Political Bureau of the Party’s Central Committee presided over by President Xi Jinping.
At the meeting, reform to the cadre selection system was discussed. It was stressed that encouragement, rewards, punishment and accountability should inform the appointment of the capable and removal of the incompetent.
In addition, the cadre retirement and tenure systems should be run strictly, leading-cadre accountability should be intensified, and the system to remove disqualified cadres should be improved.
To improve selection, Party committees should take the lead, with Party chiefs being the first people responsible.
A revised regulation on discipline inspection was also adopted at the meeting.
The revision clarifies the division of duty between discipline inspection agencies and prosecutors in anti-graft cases, as well as requirements on structure at both institutions.
Discipline inspection, which focuses on detecting undesirable work styles and corruption among Party members, has become a major tool in strictly governing the Party, according to a statement issued after the meeting.
Hundreds of officials have been investigated and prosecuted.
The task of running the Party presents great challenges and needs to be guaranteed by a powerful system, the meeting noted.
“To ensure the strict governing of the Party, discipline enforcement should be used before the enforcement of law,” it said, adding that disciplinary rules should be “stricter than law.”
