He required efforts to rectify the mindset of passivity, dependence on higher authorities, shirking responsibility, and delaying the settlement of tasks, thus causing bottlenecks, and wasting time, effort, and financial resources of the State, the people, and businesses.

The Party chief highlighted the importance of focusing on completing the review and full institutionalisation of the Party’s policies and viewpoints on preventing and combating corruption, wastefulness, and other misconduct issued since the 13th National Party Congress.

In particular, he called for the swift revision of the Law on Thrift Practice and Wastefulness Prevention, the Law on Anti-Corruption, and other related laws, as well as the amendment and supplementation of outdated technical and economic standards to ensure consistency, feasibility, and alignment with the country’s development.

There is a need to promote the application of science, technology, digital transformation, and administrative reform to limit direct contact and prevent corruption and misconduct in public service, Lam stressed, calling for the urgent development, connection, and sharing of national data, integrating databases of ministries, sectors, and localities to ensure consistency, and easy access for inspection, supervision, auditing, and monitoring, thereby enabling early detection, warning, and timely prevention of violations.
