Blank official letter, false official letter, one letter and multiple meals become a new variant of the "four winds" problem

How to treat the official letter

  On July 27, Hunan Xiangxi notified that Peng Dianchen, Secretary of the Party Leadership Group and Director of the Longshan County Education and Sports Bureau, arranged for his subordinates to purchase high-end liquor, organized illegal eating, drinking and drinking, falsely issued accommodation invoices for reimbursement, and received a warning from the party; July 21, Xinjiang Bazhou notified that Maihemuti Tudi, the former director of Ruoqiang County Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Bureau, received 143,000 yuan for long-term illegal official duties and was severely warned by the party; on July 10, Hainan Sanya notified Tielu, Haitang District, Sanya City Luo Xuewen, the former deputy director of the village committee, and Hu Xiang, a member of the village committee and accountant, illegally accepted a banquet from Lin, the project boss, and was punished by party discipline.

Disciplinary commissions and supervisory committees at all levels continue to report typical cases, releasing a clear signal to strictly prevent the rebound from illegal eating and drinking.

  According to the data in the monthly report on mental problems that violated the eight central regulations published yesterday, from January to June this year, a total of 4,590 cases of illegal eating and drinking were investigated and handled nationwide, and 7,033 people were criticized, educated, helped and dealt with.

Currently, what are the new trends in illegal eating and drinking?

Under three orders and five applications, why is it that illegal eating and drinking have been refurbished and repeatedly banned?

How to prevent and treat the illegal eating and drinking of "changing the vest"?

The county forestry bureau asked for blank reception letters from other departments, and repeatedly falsely listed official receptions

  If the clues were not discovered in a special rectification, the Forestry Bureau of Ningyuan County, Yongzhou City, Hunan Province was still playing "cover" through blank reception letters and engaging in illegal reception.

  In April last year, the Commission for Discipline Inspection of Ningyuan County received clues about the problem, reflecting that "the county forestry bureau has the problem of too frequent exchanges between counties and too many catering during the official reception process."

The Supervisory Committee of the County Commission for Discipline Inspection then set up an investigation team to start the investigation from the official reception letter.

Dozens of accounts were turned down, and one detail caught the attention of the investigation team: last year, a forestry unit in the city visited Ningyuan 13 times for exchanges and received receptions almost every month.

The investigators found out last year that 9 units in the same industry in the city and 1 unit from outside the city came to communicate with each other, a total of 92 times throughout the year. For example, a neighboring county Oumou led the team for 3 exchanges, including 6 people twice and 8 people once.

  The investigation team went to the forestry departments of counties and districts in the city to verify the relevant situation, and the response was: "I have never been to the Ningyuan County Forestry Bureau to participate in work exchanges." name?"

  After investigation, Luo Mou, director of the county forestry bureau’s office, admitted that in 2020, the bureau’s excessive hospitality fees were too high and could not be reimbursed according to the normal procedures. After asking the bureau’s in-charge and main person in charge for instructions, he was responsible to the forestry department offices of the brother counties and districts. People asked for some blank reception letters. Since Ningyuan started his work, Ningyuan made a false statement of official reception expenses to the county finances to cover the expenses of exceeding the standard and exceeding the scope of reception.

  According to regulations, only one official reception will be arranged for the same official event; “no reception without letter, no reimbursement” is also a hard lever in official reception.

However, the Ningyuan County Forestry Bureau has repeatedly arranged official receptions in violation of regulations and made false claims for accounts.

To save trouble, they will reimburse every blank reception letter.

In 2020, 73 official receptions were falsely listed, offsetting 72,500 yuan of illegal reception expenses.

In May of this year, Luo received a warning and dismissal from the party. Deputy Director Huang Mouqing received a warning from the party, and the main person in charge of the unit was interviewed.

  "If it is really necessary to receive official business, the dispatching unit should send an official letter to the receiving unit to inform the content, itinerary and personnel. Official activities and visitors without official letter will not be accepted. The county forestry bureau ignores the regulations and treats the official reception letter as "Food and Drink Pass", put on a "compliance cloak" for illegal eating and drinking." said the comrade of the investigation team.

  "'Eating the official letter' is the new form of the current invisible variation of the'four winds'. It will covert the illegal eating and drinking expenses in a concealed manner, and cover up the problem of violations in a seemingly compliant form. It requires a high degree of vigilance, strikes on the spot, and strictly enforces discipline." Hunan The relevant person in charge of the Party Style and Political Style Supervision Office of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection said.

  There are still a few cadres who think that “it’s okay to have a meal and give a little gift”, and some people even use the meal to blend interests.

  Case handlers reported that it has been more than eight years since the implementation of the eight central regulations, but in individual units, a small number of leading cadres still have a fluke, thinking that "it does not matter if you eat a meal and give a gift", and put the spirit of the eight central regulations on deaf ears. ".

Under three orders and five applications, illegal eating and drinking have been refurbished, and repeated prohibitions have continued.

  In less than two years, he ate more than 100,000 yuan. In November 2020, Zhang Guiquan, the former party secretary and director of the Xupu County Supply and Marketing Cooperative in Huaihua City, Hunan Province, was punished for illegal reception. The problem was "lucky luck."

In the name of its property company, the agency repeatedly illegally received official receptions in a hotel in the county without official letters or exceeding standards.

Some members of the team raised objections. Zhang Guiquan said: “Normal etiquette must be required, and it will be accounted for by the county supply and marketing cooperative property management company. There will be no problem.” After that, the provincial party committee required all units to self-examine the official reception bills. To correct, Zhang Guiquan still had a fluke, believing that the county supply and marketing cooperatives are small units, and these unreasonable expenses reimbursed are all on the property company's account, and there will be no problems, and no self-examination has been arranged.

  The sharp sword of party discipline and state law hangs high, and some cadres are still “satisfied with the heart”. On the surface, they are satisfied with appetite and vanity. In essence, they are willing to be “hunted”, willing to seek rent for power, keen on “circle culture”, and willing to do so. Be a "man in the game."

"The so-called'one end of the wine glass, the principle of relaxation', the drunk man's intention is not in the'rice' but in the'bureau'. This'bureau' is a bureau for hunting cadres, a bureau for power rent-seeking, and a bureau for creating circles!" Peking University Clean Government Construction Said Zhuang Deshui, deputy director of the research center.

  Sorting out notifications from various places, it is not uncommon to see cases of benefit blending with the help of meals.

Before the Spring Festival from 2016 to 2018, Xu Gui, the former deputy director of the Standing Committee of the People’s Congress of Guangxi’s Qinzhou Municipal People’s Congress and a first-level inspector, will accept a banquet at the restaurant of a certain boss in the city. Xu Guijun invited some people to accompany him at the banquet, and he never After paying for the meal, Huang Moumou was just in order to build a good relationship with Xu Gui and get help in obtaining the project. Xu Gui was "double-opened" for other violations of discipline and law; the post of the People's Court of Yanhu District, Yuncheng City, Shanxi Province Judge Wang Jianwu met with the plaintiff in private several times during the trial of a civil case, accepted banquets from the parties six times, and conducted trial judgments in violation of regulations. In January 2021, Wang Jianwu was dismissed by the government.

New trends in illegal eating and drinking: "Exceeding standard reception and splitting reports", "Don't eat this level, eat subordinates", "Fictitious'vouchers' eat illegally", "Don't eat public funds, eat the boss"

  Analyzing reports from various localities, some new variants of the current illegal eating and drinking problems have emerged.

One is "openly not eating in secret", concealing illegal eating and drinking expenses, and covering up violations in a seemingly compliant form; the other is "not eating public money and eating the boss", accepting banquets from private business owners without any scruples. Recklessly reach out to "beg", and even treat private business owners as long-term "meal tickets."

  "Exceeding standard reception split report", to break the over-standard official reception into zero reimbursement.

On October 8, 2020, Liu Juan, the former director of the Investment Promotion Service Bureau of the Muyun Economic Development Zone of Hunan Province, illegally provided super-standard business reception during the reception of some business leaders in the park. The meal for 8 people totaled 5828 yuan, and the per capita consumption was 728.5 yuan.

In order to conceal the fact that the reception was beyond the standard, Liu Juan arranged for the dining restaurant to split and issue 7 invoices, and reimbursed the meal expenses at the unit by fictitiously receiving 7 companies.

Liu Juan was given a warning from the party, and other relevant responsible persons were dealt with accordingly.

  "Don't eat public funds and eat the boss", and treat private business owners as long-term "meal tickets."

In June 2019, Shen Xiongwei, a member of the Party Group of the Housing and Urban-rural Construction Bureau of Xianju County, Zhejiang Province, drank a certain brand of liquor from others, and asked his friend Zhang Moumou to contact him when he felt it was good. Company owner Ma Moumou paid.

Zhang ordered 10 boxes of 60 bottles of this brand of liquor from a local wine merchant, and informed Ma of the wine merchant's bank account number and the cost of buying the wine, and Ma transferred 24,000 yuan.

These wines are used by Shen Xiongwei to taste or entertain friends.

Shen Xiongwei was "double-opened" with other problems.

  "Don't eat this level and eat the subordinates", and pass the food and drink expenses to the subordinate units.

From 2018 to 2019, Wang Liansheng, the former chief of the Safety Management Section of Wenling City Education Bureau, Zhejiang Province, used his position to use the name of a school in Wenling City to reimburse more than 27,000 for official receptions and personal banquets without official letters, over-standard violations and personal banquets. Yuan.

Wang Liansheng was "double-opened" for other violations of discipline and law.

  "Fictitious'vouchers' eat illegally", using various names to falsely set out expenses to withdraw money for food and drink.

From September 2017 to December 2019, Wang Yujiang, secretary of the Party General Branch of Jixing Village, Sihe Town, Yushu City, Jilin Province, made false bills in the name of banning straw burning in spring and cleaning up sanitation labor, which offset public funds for food and drink expenses, which were written off, totaling 1.35 Ten thousand yuan.

Wang Yujiang was given a warning from the party, and related expenses were refunded.

  "Since the eight regulations of the central government were promulgated, blatant eating and drinking have stopped, and some units and cadres have begun to'find another way out', and methods such as changing their faces, passing on costs, and transferring flowers and trees have emerged one after another, which has seriously damaged the credibility of the central policy. Do not give up, and never allow illegal eating and drinking to rebound.” Zhuang Deshui said that the invisible mutation of illegal eating and drinking is nothing more than the concealment of the subject, the concealment of the means, the concealment of the place, and the concealment of the source of funds.

As long as you keep a close eye on these key links and treat them according to symptoms and signs in a multi-pronged approach, invisible problems will naturally have nowhere to hide.

Explore and improve the “official letter reception” system, so that official reception behaviors can be traced back and traced, and loopholes in false opening, filling, and random opening can be blocked

  Regarding the reception of illegal reception by the County Forestry Bureau through a blank letter, the Ningyuan County Commission for Discipline Inspection conducted a comprehensive investigation and rectification.

A notice was issued in April of this year, requiring 120 units with independent accounting at the sub-section level or above in the county to conduct self-examination and self-correction, focusing on the investigation and correction of non-official activities in the official reception since 2018, and reception without official letters and approvals , Over-standard reception, over-numbered meals, provision of cigarettes and drinks, fictitious official reception concealed transfer fees, freely providing blank reception letters or issuing reception letters, etc., and a total of more than 50,000 yuan was refunded.

  "From April 2020 until now, the city has discovered 679 issues such as'blank official letters, false official letters, and multiple meals with one letter' through self-examination, and refunded more than 280,000 yuan." This is the special rectification of the issue of receiving official letters in Changde, Hunan. The results.

Local units have carried out a comprehensive self-examination on the issue of "one letter", and established accounts for the "blank official letters", "false official letters", "one letter with multiple meals" and other issues found in the self-examination.

For those who continue to ban and violate disciplines after the special clearance, the implementation of "one case double investigation" will force the "two responsibilities" to be implemented.

  One of the reasons why the blank reception letter has become a “pass” for illegal eating and drinking is that the relevant system is not detailed enough to reserve space for false reception, over-standard and invisible variant reception.

  During the daily supervision and inspection, the Commission for Discipline Inspection of Anfu County, Jiangxi Province found that some grassroots units had some deviations in the implementation of the official reception system: because the original official letter was issued by each unit, the official letter was falsely opened, indiscriminately opened, or randomly opened. The problem of supplementing, eating first and then reviewing is widespread.

  To this end, the Commission for Discipline Inspection of Anfu County has explored and perfected the "Official Letter Reception" system, and uniformly printed standard official letters. The new standard official letters are in duplicate with a unique number.

There are 50 copies of each standard official letter, the upper and lower copies, which require the filling of specific matters such as personnel, time, official affairs, etc., and re-collect them after use. The used stubs shall be submitted to the county Commission for Discipline Inspection and supervision for future reference.

  In order to ensure the implementation of the system, the Anfu County Commission for Discipline Inspection also issued work reminders to 34 in-service county leaders and 10 county leaders in the county to remind the county leaders and their departments to strictly implement the "official letter reception" system and take the lead in using standard official letters. , Take the lead in strictly preventing the resurgence of illegal eating and drinking, and set an example for the implementation of the system.

  "We require that from July 1, 2021, all units in the county are required to use standard official letters. The existence of stub copies and numbers allows official receptions in Anfu County to be traced and checked, basically blocking the false opening of official letters. , Open up the loopholes, open the loopholes indiscriminately, so that there is no way to hide the illegal reception and the over-standard reception." The relevant person in charge of the Anfu County Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision introduced.

Make good use of the "intelligent eyes" of science and technology, compact the main responsibility, plug the loopholes in the system, smash the "bureaus" of illegal eating and drinking, and pinch off the "money" of illegal eating and drinking.

  The issue of food and drink is not a trivial matter, but a "big politics" that has a bearing on the party's image in the hearts of the people.

We must be strict to the end. Whoever violates the iron rules must be dealt with with iron discipline, resolutely smashed the "bureaus" of illegal eating and drinking, and resolutely pinched off the "money" of illegal eating and drinking.

  The Hunan Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection have taken heavy measures to deploy and carry out centralized rectification of illegal eating and drinking throughout the province.

In response to the current problem that most illegal eating and drinking are transferred to the underground, the province has made good use of the technology "intelligence" and used the "Internet + supervision" platform to develop an official dining supervision subsystem covering more than 1,140 units in the province, focusing on passing on food and drink expenses and false listings. Expenditure or "integrated into zero" reimbursement and other invisible mutation issues, carry out big data comparison analysis, sort out 100 typical problem clues; listing will be completed within a limited time, and the provincial Discipline Inspection Commission’s supervisory committee will be responsible for the leadership of the provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. Assigned, the assigned unit is required to conduct direct inspections, and cannot be transferred or divided again. The commissions for discipline inspection at all levels completed the verification of all the clues in only one month, with a verification rate of 66%; the provincial level made overall arrangements to eliminate the grassroots favors Interfere with chronic diseases, and prevent the occurrence of problems such as favoritism and weakness.

  Consolidating the main responsibility is another key to correcting the problem of illegal eating and drinking.

After the Wuxue City People’s Procuratorate of Hubei Province used a blank official letter to reimburse official reception expenses, the Hubei Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection issued to the Provincial People’s Procuratorate a disciplinary inspection proposal on strengthening the supervision and management of the province’s procuratorial organs, and urged self-examination to be carried out. Rectify and plug loopholes in the system

The People's Procuratorate of Hubei Province carried out a two-month special treatment to comprehensively investigate and rectify illegal official reception behaviors. A total of 4 cadres were punished, 1 person was admonished to talk, and 11 people were interviewed for work.

  The "tree" has to dig the "root".

The Hunan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection conducted an in-depth analysis of the 66 problem clues that revealed the manifestations of illegal eating and drinking, as well as the specific methods of passing on and concealing related expenses, etc., and found that the system is blank, ambiguous, and individual regulations are not grounded and operability is not strong. Issues such as the introduction of the “ten prohibitions” system, which states that “it is strictly forbidden to issue invoices in the name of party and government agencies, state-owned enterprises and institutions in private dining”, otherwise, all inspections will be suspended first to plug loopholes from the system level and reduce the gray space for illegal eating and drinking.

  No reimbursement is not open, and reimbursement must be open.

Some places have explored the implementation of the sunshine reimbursement system, and disclosed information on official receptions, business receptions, work meals, official reception letters and invoices of units on a monthly basis.

Taizhou City, Zhejiang Province, has strict official reception approval procedures, regulates official reception activities, timely discloses official dining data, and effectively prevents various illegal public funds such as reception without official letters, over-standard and over-range reception, etc. from occurring.
