Rectification caused by changing the price of meat from 18.5 yuan to 185 yuan per unit in the canteen

  The original purchase price of 18.5 yuan per catty of meat was changed to 185 yuan, and the 176 catties of vegetables delivered to the canteen became 1776 catties when reported... Such an absurd practice appeared in the government canteen in Jiulongpo District, Chongqing.

The District Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision urged relevant departments to carry out rectification after investigating the problem.

  In April 2019, the Second Inspection Team of Jiulongpo District Committee entered the District Office Affairs Administration Bureau to conduct inspections.

Xiao Zhao, a staff member of the inspection team, spot-checked the procurement financial vouchers of the canteens managed by the bureau and found that the unit price and quantity of ingredients purchased in the canteens were too unreasonable: pork was 185 yuan per catty, zheergen was 445 yuan per catty, and children’s vegetables were purchased in one day. 1776 kg...not only that, there is only one bill for all bills.

  "Compare and check the original records of receipt and delivery at that time to see where the problem is." After a summary analysis of the problems found, the inspection team immediately formed a special inspection team to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the agency canteen material procurement.

  With the deepening of understanding, more and more problems have been exposed: delivery notes, receipts and other vouchers are missing or missing, most of the purchase reimbursements are not accompanied by verification details and other supporting information. Instead of checking the accounts in time every day, they accumulate assaults for a month. Reporting... A high-priced meat report has brought out the chaos of the agency canteen's material procurement.

The inspection team handed over clues to the issue to the District Commission for Discipline Inspection in accordance with relevant regulations.

  It turned out that Zhou, the former deputy director of the district agency affairs bureau, Xu, the worker, and the hired He, took advantage of their duties in managing the daily operation of the canteen to focus on the "fat" of goods procurement and cooperated with the canteen supplier. Yuan arbitrarily collects and privately divides public funds by falsely reporting the price and quantity of the goods.

  According to the staff of the investigation team of the District Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision, Zhou and others have madly embezzled more than 1.86 million yuan in public funds through such operations.

Not only that, Zhou and others also set up an offensive and defensive alliance to interfere with inspection work.

In the end, Zhou and Xu were expelled from the party and public office, He was dismissed, and related issues have been transferred to judicial organs for trial.

  How did these incredible prices of meat enter the canteen all the way to the "green light"?

  With the deepening of the investigation, the Jiulongpo District Commission for Discipline Inspection found that in the procurement work of the canteen, the District Agency Affairs Bureau, which was responsible for the "gatekeeper", had relaxed its regulatory responsibilities. The original strict examination and approval became a procedural report. The agency canteen has huge discretion in material procurement, and has become a bargaining chip for Zhou and others in power and money transactions.

  In response to this issue, the Jiulongpo District Commission for Discipline Inspection filed a case against the party group of the District Administration Bureau’s ineffectiveness in fulfilling the main responsibility of strictly governing the party, gave the then party group secretary a warning within the party, and issued a disciplinary inspection recommendation requesting it to further strengthen Main responsibility, establish and improve various supporting canteen management systems, strengthen the supervision of important positions and key nodes where power is concentrated, and fully implement system procedures and job responsibilities. In response to the regulatory loopholes exposed in the case, the District Administration Affairs Bureau re-identified the agency canteen suppliers through public bidding, strictly implemented the "three important and one large" collective decision-making mechanism, and clarified the monthly canteen bulk purchase plan The use of materials and funds in the cafeteria must be reported and reviewed item by item at the director's office meeting. At the same time, a regular random inspection mechanism with the joint participation of the bureau’s party group and the comprehensively dispatched discipline inspection and supervision team has been established to strictly review the canteen inventory ledger and market inquiry records.
