Chapter 259: Establishment of the Anti-gang Office

After Qi Tongwei hung up the phone, he thought of He Yong and the others who were tired, so he sent them a message asking them to go to rest as soon as they came back and contact him later if there was anything, and then he went to rest.

The next morning, he received a text message from He Yong, saying that Yu Dasheng had given him an important clue and wanted to report to him.

Qi Tongwei asked them to rest well during the day and wait for his notification at any time.

He will preside over a meeting of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee at 9: this morning. The theme of the meeting will be to study and discuss how to effectively prevent corruption and waste and establish the Green Vine City Anti-gang Office.

Before the meeting started, Qi Tongwei once again welcomed several new members of the Standing Committee, and several of them also expressed that they would work hard and serve the people of Luteng under the leadership of Qi Tongwei, the squad leader.

After this session, the meeting officially began.

“Comrades, some time ago I gave you a research topic, which is about how to prevent corruption.

Today's Standing Committee meeting had two agendas. The first was to prevent corruption, and the second was to set up an anti-gang office.

Comrade Youcong, you are the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, so let’s start with you!” Qi Tongwei turned his gaze to the Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, Li Youcong.

Li Youcong nodded slightly to show his agreement.

Then he cleared his throat and said, "Secretary Qi, fellow comrades, I have the following four opinions on how to prevent corruption and waste.

First of all, on the ideological level, we need to strengthen publicity and education so that everyone can firmly establish a psychological defense line against corruption.

Secondly, we must emphasize the principle of combating corruption wherever it exists and eradicating greed wherever it occurs, and resolutely punish corruption without any forbidden zones, with full coverage and zero tolerance.

Thirdly, starting from the institutional level, we should find ways to strengthen the foundation of anti-corruption from a financial perspective.

Finally, power restriction is also a key point. An effective mechanism of mutual restriction should be formed between various departments. "

After Li Youcong finished his speech, Qi Tongwei mentioned the mayor Xie Zhonglin again. His views were similar to Li Youcong's and there was nothing new.

After that, everyone put propaganda first and believed that theoretical propaganda was very important.

After everyone finished speaking, Qi Tongwei began his summary speech.

"Comrades, the core is propaganda and education. Some of our leading cadres do need education, but I don't think this is the most important thing."

Qi Tongwei's views are different from those of other Standing Committee members. He believes that propaganda and education are not very important.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Qi Tongwei continued, "I think everyone is very clear that there is no leading cadre who is unaware of corruption and illegality, right?

They know that corruption is illegal but they still commit corruption!

First, the temptation is too great, and there is a mentality of taking chances;

Second, the cost of holding corruption accountable is too low. Of course, this is a criminal law standard, so I won’t discuss it here.”

Qi Tongwei believes that the main reason for rampant corruption is that the cost of punishment is too low. For example, some leaders embezzle billions of dollars. When they were corrupt, they had already transferred part of the money abroad through various means to purchase certain funds.

Most of these people were over 50 or 60 years old when they were arrested, and they had enjoyed all the benefits they should have.

If he is not caught, he will continue to live a luxurious life. If he is caught, it doesn't matter.

First, they have enjoyed themselves enough and recovered their capital. Second, they have left their descendants with enough money to spend for several lifetimes.

The most important point is that there is no death penalty. Even if these people are sentenced to prison, their treatment is completely different from that of ordinary people.

The other accomplices are afraid that he will give them away as well, so they will definitely use their power to get him very good conditions.

The reasons are very sufficient. Comrade XX was politically unsteady and made a serious mistake, but he had made contributions to the Party and the country before. We cannot completely deny his contributions just because of his mistakes.

The prison staff who can afford to offend the big tigers outside will definitely give these people very good treatment. I guess they can enjoy everything except freedom.

He shook his head, getting rid of these complicated emotions from his mind.

Qi Tongwei continued: "I have been to many people's offices. Do you know what is the most common book I have seen in the offices of some leading cadres?

They are not books on economics, urban construction and guiding ideology, but various versions of criminal law.

Sometimes I even think that these people may be more proficient in the research of criminal law such as corruption and bribery than I am as a law graduate student.

Some people may look up the criminal law every time they receive a sum of money to see how many more years they can add to their sentence.

If this is the case, why is corruption still so serious? It is not because of publicity.

Therefore, propaganda is necessary, but it is not the most important thing. The root of the problem lies not in propaganda but in the system. "

Qi Tongwei took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and continued: "The key to combating corruption is prevention, and the key to preventing corruption is to reduce the opportunities and conditions for corruption to occur.

We must study and formulate a set of systems to reduce the conditions for corruption. At the same time, the Discipline Inspection Commission and anti-corruption departments should carry out irregular inspections to create a deterrent effect.

The corruption in the education system some time ago made all sectors see the city party committee and government’s determination to punish corruption. I also saw some problems from this corruption.

Take school building maintenance as an example. The third primary school in Luteng City repaired its toilets four times in three years, with a total cost of 240 million yuan.

How dare they do this? What is the reason?

Did the review center conduct a project review? How did the financial department allocate the money? Did the Audit Bureau conduct an audit? Did the Education Bureau review it?

These are the questions!

From now on, this kind of situation must not happen again. All expenditures must be strictly reviewed, the finance department must live within its means, and the three public expenditures must be greatly reduced. "

After a pause, Qi Tongwei looked at Zhang Zhihua, the municipal party committee secretary, and said, "Comrade Zhihua, you should organize the people's congress, finance, audit and other departments to conduct in-depth research on how to prevent similar phenomena from happening. You must put an end to similar phenomena from a systemic perspective."

Qi Tongwei then began to talk about his views on preventing corruption and put forward some specific strategies.

One of the most eye-catching points is the requirement that all units must disclose their financial status. Except for confidential units, the income and expenditure of other units must be disclosed to the whole society and subject to social supervision.

This means that from now on, the expenditures of all units must be made public, which will to a certain extent prevent the ridiculous situation of building toilets four times in three years.

Of course, Qi Tongwei also knows that this kind of situation cannot be completely avoided. Some people will definitely find ways to make disguised expenditures, which requires the audit and financial departments to check.

After discussing measures to prevent corruption, Qi Tongwei immediately raised another important topic - the establishment of an anti-gang office.

This proposal immediately attracted the attention of Wu Shuangling. After hesitating for a moment, he questioned: "Secretary Qi, we already have a Public Security Bureau that is responsible for maintaining social order and combating crime. Wouldn't it be redundant to set up a separate anti-gang office now?

And doing so would require additional staffing and funding.”

Qi Tongwei looked at Wu Shuangling calmly and replied: "The Anti-gang Office will not increase its staffing. We will draw suitable personnel from various units to form this organization.

This will not only solve the personnel problem, but also will not put too much pressure on the finances.

In addition, anti-gang operations require professional and concentrated forces. The establishment of an anti-gang office can better integrate resources and provide front-line command, while also ensuring the confidentiality of the operations. "

With Qi Tongwei's power, this proposal was naturally passed without any suspense. He also fulfilled his promise and appointed He Yong as the director of the Anti-Gang Office.
