Collective interests should not be eroded
Perspective on Anti-corruption of Supply and Marketing Cooperation System
Not long ago, Anhui Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection issued a message: Tang Qingming, former member of the Anhui Provincial Supply and Marketing Cooperative Union and deputy director of the council, was expelled from the party and public office. Since last year, many leading cadres in the province ’s supply and marketing cooperative system have been investigated for alleged violations of discipline and law.
The Fourth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection requested that we resolutely investigate and deal with corruption in the fields of resources, land, planning, construction, and engineering. In recent years, cases of violations of discipline and law by leading cadres of supply and marketing cooperatives in various regions have occurred frequently. What are the characteristics of these corruption cases and how difficult is it to investigate and deal with? Next, how will the system increase anti-corruption efforts?
Most of the cases are involved, and there are frequent cases of nesting cases
The supply and marketing cooperatives originated from the planned economy period. They are connected to the “three rural” and one end to the town. They have a long history and a wide network of outlets. They are an important force for promoting rural economic and social development. Has made important contributions.
In recent years, the economic benefits of the four main businesses of supply and marketing cooperatives, agricultural materials, agricultural products, consumer goods, and renewable resources have improved significantly, and their contribution to profit growth has increased. The data shows that in the first half of last year, the total sales of the entire system reached 2.2 trillion yuan, an increase of 6.6% year-on-year in accordance with the same caliber, achieving steady and rapid growth.
Supply and marketing cooperatives are cooperative economic organizations with diverse organizational components and diverse asset formations. There are agencies and enterprises, as well as institutions and associations. Most of them carry out market-oriented operations. They have many points of integrity and risk, and they need to strengthen supervision.
Judging from the corruption issues of the supply and marketing cooperation system that have been investigated and punished, the relevant person in charge of the Anhui Discipline Inspection Commission has summarized the following common characteristics: first, the number of leaders is involved in many cases, and political and economic issues are intertwined; Outstanding; third, positions where power is concentrated present a high risk; fourth, the phenomenon of headwind violations is serious, the amount of money involved is large, and the means of corruption are hidden; fifth, the violation of discipline and lawless cadres pursues enjoyment in their lives, and most of them have problems in life style.
Many members of the leadership team of Beijing's supply and marketing cooperation system exceeded the standard for first-class aircraft and private use of buses. The Beijing Supply and Marketing Cooperation Corporation and its affiliated enterprises exceeded 19 standard buses, and the office space of the leaders of the two subsidiaries exceeded the standard ... in Beijing According to Li Guoliang, the director of the 11th Review and Investigation Office of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision, there are many cases of violations of the spirit of the eight central regulations, indicating that the system ’s minority cadres have an unhealthy style. .
According to reports, Gao Shouliang, the former party committee secretary and chairman of Beijing Supply and Marketing Cooperative, did not know what the "four consciousnesses" were. On the stage, he taught party lessons and advocated anti-corruption. Personal self-interest, failure to perform the functions and work responsibilities entrusted by party organizations, neither a clear-cut opposition to Gao Shouliang's flagrant violations, nor a reflection to higher-level party organizations, some even deliberately cater.
In individual units where the incident occurred, the principle of democratic centralism was destroyed and became formal. The members of the team do not strictly follow the division of labor to carry out the work, and the first person controls the people, wealth, things, and things; the decision-making of some major issues is not a collective decision; the meeting studies the violation of the deliberative procedures, and the first leader engages in "patriarchy" and "one-speaking", and first makes a tendency to speak, or When the participants raise objections, they will not adopt the "Principle of Adoption" and turn the decision of the meeting into "walking through".
Some of the violations of disciplines and laws exposed by the system are not unrelated to the collective ownership system and regulatory loopholes and checks and balances.
The nature of the collective cooperative economic organization of supply and marketing cooperatives determines that their assets are collectively owned rather than state-owned. In some places, the local State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission has no statutory responsibility for capital supervision, and is only responsible for its party relations and management of leading cadres. The superior supervision lacks focus; the vast number of staff members and employees have low knowledge and participation in the supply and marketing cooperatives, and cannot effectively supervise ; The supervisory and internal checks and balances of the members of the team cannot be played. For the leader ’s public failure to implement the relevant decisions of the superior or the implementation of discounts, the members of the team either do not raise objections or are not accepted; the supervision is seriously lacking, such as a certain place The Disciplinary Committee of Supply and Marketing Cooperatives has received 97 reports of clues since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.
What are the risks of corruption
“It ’s okay to eat, drink, get some shopping cards and gifts. It ’s a normal‘ small mistake ’. Helping others introduce the project is a“ shunshui relationship ”. Irregular work is an innovation.” From Ningbo, Zhejiang Province According to Jiang Xucan, the former party secretary of the supply and marketing cooperative and director of the board of directors, the cooperative development and construction of the supply and marketing cooperative project, collective asset disposal during the restructuring period, and internal management are all corruption risks.
Since he was transferred to the municipal supply and marketing cooperative in 2013 as the leader, Jiang Xucan thought that he finally found a platform to play his "personal talents", he began to focus on the field of project cooperation and development, engage in "one word" in the decision-making of major projects, in violation of principles, and broke through the bottom line. . For example, in the process of the development of the No. 2 Bridge Lot project by the municipal supply and marketing cooperative, Jiang Xucan introduced through specific stakeholders and accepted the invitation of others, stipulating that Wang Moumou, who does not have the real estate project development strength, is the target of the project development cooperation, and Wang Moumou is in the project development. At the beginning, it did not invest up-front funds according to the cooperation agreement, and its company did not invest corresponding funds according to the shareholding ratio. In the end, Wang Moumou's company only invested 50 million yuan in the demolition and resettlement costs, and obtained the cooperative development right of hundreds of millions of real estate projects, resulting in a sudden increase in the development risk of the No. 2 Bridge land project, and the collective interests of the municipal supply and marketing cooperatives were seriously damaged. This exposes the supply and marketing cooperatives' lack of effective constraints on the operation of major project decisions and other powers. There are also "blind spots" in the supervision they accept, and "loopholes" in the system, which provide conditions for Jiang Xucan to abuse his power.
Of the more than 8.1 million yuan received by Jiang Xucan, more than half accounted for in the field of engineering construction. When he co-developed engineering projects with municipal supply and marketing cooperatives and private enterprises, he made changes and discounts to the rules and regulations of the system, and even had orders, prohibitions, and crimes committed in order to achieve the purpose of trading power and money. For example, in the renovation project of the original city export tea blending plant under the municipal supply and marketing cooperative, Jiang Xucan knew that the bidding plan had not been approved by the development and reform department, but he decided to take an invitation to bid for the project, which violated the relevant provisions of the bidding. As a result, Wang Moumou became a partner and acted as the legal representative of the project company. On the project, he and the builders borrowed and embezzled 3 million yuan in the project amount in a way that increased the amount of the project, resulting in serious damage to the collective interests of the municipal supply and marketing cooperative. After the event, Wang Moumou gave 1 million yuan to Jiang Xucan as a "thank you."
Analyzing the risk points one by one, the relevant person in charge of the Ningbo Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection introduced: "The supply and marketing system is not strictly controlled in the selection of project cooperation partners. After the cooperation, the supervision of the project operation situation and the use of funds is also weak. As a result, the invested capital has gone back and forth, and a large amount of collective assets have been lost. In addition, the risk of collective asset disposal during the period of restructuring of supply and marketing cooperatives is mainly due to the low-value transfer of shares and the acquisition of illegal profits that are prone to lead to the loss of collective assets. Internal management risk is the 'small treasury' formed by subordinate enterprises through vacant space rent, interest on external borrowings, income from transportation expenses and product sales rebates, etc. The purpose is focused on raising employee income, issuing rewards, making up for personal income tax payable by employees, etc. aspect."
In addition, the reporter sorted out and found that the supply and marketing cooperatives mainly manage their subordinate enterprises through cadre personnel appointments and dismissals, use of funds and decision-making on major matters, and these links have involved cadres involved in corruption cases.
Strict discipline and discipline tighten the system cage
How difficult is it to investigate and deal with the corruption of leading cadres in the supply and marketing cooperation system? The relevant person in charge of the Commission for Discipline Inspection of Ningbo Municipality believes that, first, there are many problems left over from history, and the time from the formation to the disposal is long and the span is large. The relevant main leaders, responsible leaders and relevant department heads have job adjustment, retirement, immigration In other situations, the lack of archives is more common, making investigation and evidence gathering difficult. Second, there are many problems in the restructuring. The nature of supply and marketing cooperatives has been adjusted many times, the existence, restructuring, cancellation, merger of relevant entities are different. Some suspected violations of regulations, disciplines, and laws are difficult to trace to the source. The third is that it involves significant interests and complex relationships. The supply and marketing system has a large amount of assets. There are many affiliated companies and affiliated cooperative enterprises. The relationship is inextricably linked. It is difficult to sort out and define.
The corruption problem has a long duration, a large number of people involved, and a wide range of fields. The personnel of the Anhui Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection also have a deep understanding of this. "People involved politically pull gangs, eliminate dissidents, and even collude against organizations to conduct investigations and investigations, forming an offensive and defensive alliance; the leadership of the provincial supply and marketing cooperatives has long been independent, with fixed areas of management and division of labor, obvious personal dependence, and mutual economic interests. Involved; the way of corruption is more concealed. Some accept the dry stocks and temporarily store the dividends elsewhere. Some use the borrowed water as a temptation to fish in the muddy water. Some fabricate fake business to borrow illegally. "
Preventing trouble before it is the winning strategy. In the next step, how to effectively promote the positive trend in this field and fight corruption?
The relevant responsible comrades of the Anhui Discipline Inspection Commission said that they must adhere to the party ’s need to manage the party and administer the party strictly, give play to the leadership and political core roles of the subordinate units and social enterprise party organizations, and insist on building a strong grassroots party organization. The restoration and purification project of political ecology, especially to establish rules and regulations, promote the original and clean source, and select those cadres with "strong party spirit, good style, ability, and reliability" to serve in the provincial supply and marketing cooperatives and their affiliated enterprises.
Specifically, in the process of deepening the reform of social enterprises, we must start from the institutional mechanism, identify the lesions, establish rules and regulations, and carefully sort out the key links in the implementation process of social assets investment, cooperation, purchase and construction, and disposal. Improve the corporate governance structure and the “three majors and one big” decision-making mechanism, establish an incentive and restraint mechanism linked to performance, explore the implementation of a professional manager system, build a team of entrepreneurs, strengthen enterprise internal management, strengthen capital management and control, improve risk prevention and control, and improve violations The mechanism of investigating and investigating the responsibility of operating investment and reversing the responsibility will resolutely prevent the occurrence of personal finals, black-box operations, and irresponsibility.
To improve the supervision mechanism and eliminate the vacuum of power supervision, Li Guoliang suggested that the relevant departments should study and issue relevant policies, clarify the competent department in the supply and marketing cooperative business, and clarify the management rules of the collective assets of the society; strengthen precision supervision, focusing on " The key minority members of the leadership team and the "critical link" major funding decisions are supervised, and there are major disagreement issues when the supply and marketing cooperative meeting is studied at the major issues, and the focus is on high-risk major decisions; Major events are announced to cadres and employees, and they take the initiative to accept the supervision of the masses; sort out the main responsibilities and develop development plans, and study the exit mechanism to stop losses in a timely manner in cases of huge economic losses caused by blind investment decisions.
Many interviewees believed that the reform of relevant systems and mechanisms in key areas and links should be stepped up. Especially for key areas such as land transfer, engineering construction, project development, and bidding, material procurement, cadre recruitment, job deployment and other high-corruption and easy-to-produce links, establish and complete a wide coverage and seamless system to achieve legalization of work procedures, Institutionalize the rules of procedure, tighten the cage of the system, reduce the discretionary space, and effectively plug the loopholes in the system.
