Officials are exposed as "Hermes", the investigation should be "grabbed early"
■ Come on
According to reports, on October 13th, in response to news that Zhou Xiaoyun, Secretary of the Party Committee of Santang Town, Hengnan County, Hunan Province, was attending the meeting with a high profile of Hermes belt, the local responded that Zhou Xiaoyun's belt was a 140 yuan imitation.
A belt of the secretary of the town party committee triggered an online incident because of the luxury of the officials, which would lead to questions such as "Are the officials'very rich?' Where does the money come from?"
According to the official statement of Santang Town, the "Hermes" worn by Zhou Xiaoyun's waist was bought on a street stall for 140 yuan, and Zhou Xiaoyun did not know the brand of this belt (a luxury product).
It stands to reason that a town party secretary may not be able to afford Hermes, but even so, it cannot be said that exposing "the town secretary is a Hermes belt" and the onlookers of netizens is a fuss.
First of all, there is nothing trivial about the integrity of officials and power supervision. Public officials should be more accustomed to accepting public supervision under the "spotlight" and "microscope" of society.
What's more, there are not many cases where "big problems" are discovered because of "little things" being exposed.
In such a realistic context, netizens questioned the luxury belts worn by officials, not "just looking for trouble".
From the local response, the officials did not regard “officials wearing luxury belts” as a trivial matter. Not only was the relevant person in charge of the town actively responding to the media, the town’s party committee office also issued a written reply with the title “Various Netizens”. , Publicly responded to the doubts and explained clearly the origin of the "Hermes belt" of the secretary of the town party committee.
In this regard, its efficiency and humility are both worthy of recognition.
However, some netizens are also not satisfied. They think the department under the leadership of the secretary to clarify the secretary, is it almost "talking to itself" and ignoring the issue of credibility?
According to the relevant person in charge of the town, the relevant departments of Hengnan County have also investigated and learned about the matter.
But what is the conclusion of the investigation?
If relevant departments also agree with the official statement of Santang Town, why not make a public statement?
"Investigation and understanding" without conclusions and expressions, this matter obviously does not end at the public level.
Can the superiors set up an investigation team because of "one belt"?
Opinions may differ from different angles, but there must be no objection to the principle of “grasping small and early” of governing the party strictly and governing officials strictly.
If the higher-level departments can provide further explanations for the doubts, they will be responsible for the reputation of the officials involved while actively responding to the concerns of public opinion.
