Strictly investigate the corruption of revolving grain, air grain, overflowing grain, etc.
Grain depot moth removal
On October 20, the Commission for Discipline Inspection of Qinghai Province announced that Yin Xuejun, the former director of the Yushu Grain Reserve in Qinghai Province, was under review and investigation.
Prior to this, the Commission for Discipline Inspection of Jilin Province announced that Fan Tiewen, director of the Sandao Grain Storage and Storage Depot in Jilin Yitong, and Li Xiaohong, deputy director, were under review and investigation; The parties involved in the two serious violations of discipline and law were all grain depot directors.
Food security is more important than Mount Tai, not only on planting and harvesting, but also on storing and managing.
With the special rectification of corruption in the grain purchase and sale field carried out across the country, several grassroots grain depot directors were investigated and punished for serious violations of discipline and law.
What are the main manifestations of these grain depot borers who "rely on grain for food"?
They are not clever in corruption, but why do they frequently succeed?
Regarding the system and regulatory loopholes exposed in the case, how to use the case to promote the reform and the case to promote the governance?
1 Misappropriating 13.9 million yuan in return for wheat to speculate in futures, purchasing grain through a third-party company to increase prices, and illegally accepting bribes by taking advantage of the position... A batch of grain depot borers were removed during special rectification
The grassroots grain depots that are related to the country's food security have seen frequent cases recently.
On October 13, the Commission for Discipline Inspection of Jiangsu Province notified the former director of Yixing Nancao Grain Depot that Wang Yongzhong was suspected of serious violations of discipline and law: In March 2016, Wang Yongzhong arbitrarily withdrew part of the payment of 13.9 million yuan from the Nancao Grain Depot who was entrusted to turn out wheat. Yuan is used for personal futures transactions. After huge losses, it borrows large amounts of loans from individuals and enterprises in the name of Nancao Grain Depot to pay for the return of the wheat in rotation.
On October 18th, the Commission for Discipline Inspection of Wuxi City, Jiangsu Province notified Kong Weimin, Xu Longming and others about the issue of “relying on food for food”.
The report stated that from 2009 to 2016, when Kong Weimin was the director of Xinzha Grain Depot of Jiangyin Grain Bureau and Jiangyin Baiqu Port Grain Depot, he indirectly increased the purchase price through third-party companies in the foreign procurement of grain, causing national financial losses of 9.27 million. Yu Yuan; From 2011 to 2015, Kong Weimin conspired with others to falsify storage and custody fees to collect more than 358,000 yuan of funds for illegal eating, buying tobacco and alcohol, shopping cards, etc.
From 2006 to 2012, Xu Longming, the former director of Wuxi Xin'an National Grain Reserve, took advantage of his position to illegally accept bribes totaling 385,000 yuan from seven management service targets.
Judging from the situation of the incident, the key operations of grain depots such as grain purchase, storage, sales, and rotation are all areas where grain-related corruption problems occur frequently.
In addition, grain circulation facilities, storage infrastructure, and the construction of investment projects at all levels are also prone to corruption.
For example, Fan Shengliang, former member of the Party Committee of Sichuan Grain and Oil Wholesale Center and former director of the direct reserve depot, not only reaped the benefits in grain purchase and sale, rotation, etc., but also accepted project contractors through various engineering projects such as fluorocarbon paint construction of edible oil tanks in the directly affiliated depot. The millions of dollars given for "care fee".
Judging from the circumstances involved in the case, some grain depots were bold and insatiable, committing crimes for a long time, a large number of times, and a large amount of money involved.
Some treat the national grain depots as private enterprises and implement “patriarchy” in internal management. For example, Yu Zhigang, the former director of the Shiling Town Grain Management Office, Huadu District, Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province, served as the director for more than 20 years, and paid public property rents, compensation, etc. Take it for yourself and turn the enterprise into a personal cash machine.
Some internal and external collusion, gangs commit crimes, and "collapse method corruption" occur from time to time. For example, a corruption case occurred in a grassroots grain station in Yizheng City, Jiangsu Province, and 14 of the 15 grassroots grain stations were investigated.
Kong Xiangzhi, a professor at the School of Agriculture and Rural Development of Renmin University of China, told reporters that food security is not only a matter of production, but also an important part of food security.
China attaches great importance to the issue of food security and has established a relatively complete grain storage system.
Good food reserves are an important backing for ensuring food supply and an important measure to stabilize food prices and prepare for famine years.
"Grain reserves are like air. You can't feel it at ordinary times, but you can't live without it all the time."
"Grain depots are the most commonly used facilities for storing grain. As the saying goes,'the warehouses are glutted, the world is safe.' The occurrence of some grass-roots grain depots directly infringes the interests of grassroots farmers, severely erodes the foundation of food security, and causes serious losses to the country. Strictly investigate and prosecute." Kong Xiangzhi said.
2 The six types of food that depend on grain, such as revolving grain, air grain, overflow grain, depleted grain, price differential grain, and pit farm grain, are the most prominent, and they have become the focus of in-depth investigations in various places.
Sorting out the cases in various regions, the six types of corruption problems such as “revolving grain”, “air grain”, “surplus grain”, “wasted grain”, “price difference grain”, and “pit agricultural grain” are the most typical of corruption problems in “grain-based food”, which have become current in-depth investigations in various places. the key of.
"Revolving grain" refers to the implementation of the national policy of grain purchase and storage and the rotation of reserve grains, through means such as false purchases, false sales, aging, non-rotating rounds, etc., with the help of inventory immobilization, book rotation or inventory and book rotation at the same time Obtaining improper benefits through other methods is currently the most important way to "rely on food for food."
For example, Tao Yonghong, the former general manager of Sichuan Qingshen County National Grain Management Co., Ltd., colluded with grain merchants to sell 1,276 tons of rice at the price of old grain, and then repurchase 896 tons of old grain into the warehouse, but the book was calculated as new grain, 200,000 yuan "New" and "Chen" spreads are easily pocketed.
Many indicators of this batch of old grains were unqualified and could only be used for the production of feed, but no one asked.
The "air grain" that is "made out of nothing" between grain depots and grain merchants, grain depots or inside grain depots can be regarded as an upgraded version of "turning grain", which can be roughly divided into three categories: one is the false signing between grain depots and grain merchants. Grain purchase and sales contracts, forged grain in and out documents, mutual transfer of funds, creating illusions of transactions; second, the signing of false grain purchase and sales contracts between grain depots, forged grain in and out documents, and issuance of invoices, but there is no inspection sheet or weighing sheet. There was no actual capital flow due to the verification and write-off of the transactions linked to the business; third, the internal financial processing of the grain depot created a false rotation appearance.
It was also Tao Yonghong. In order to cover up the problem of 1,047 tons of empty warehouses in a certain grain depot due to unauthorized misappropriation of grain reserves, he did not hesitate to fabricate a list of grain farmers, forged accounting vouchers, and colluded with grain merchants to sign a false contract of 1,047 tons of "air grain", but did not pay for the grain. After "walking" on the book, he returned to the original master.
"Slending and overflowing grain" refers to the surplus generated during the process of grain purchase, storage, storage, transportation, and delivery, after deduction of moisture and impurities, drying, ventilation, and humidification.
This is a normal phenomenon, but some people conceal and sell the "surplus grain" and embezzle the grain payment by means of not including it in the inventory account.
For example, Tan Weidong, the former director of the Shaobo Grain Depot in Jiangdu District, Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province, took advantage of his position to privately sell the “surplus grain” that should have been reported, and corrupted the grain for 437,000 yuan.
According to the case-handling personnel, the settlement of grain payments is generally accurate to the angle and points. If there is a small amount of money in the bank flow of relevant individuals such as grain depots, custodians, financial staff, etc., it is likely that the "overflow grain" will be "increased." Privately sold to grain companies.
In addition, in the process of grain purchase, storage, and transportation at the grassroots grain stations, most of them will produce "surplus grain", and there are very few grain losses due to poor storage. Pay attention to the "surplus grain" blanks in the grain depot accounts. Accounts and loss accounts.
The usual tactics of "feeding on food" also include "wasted grain" that uses methods such as inflating the amount of grain wastage, illegally reselling government reserve grain, selling high and buying low and buying low to make a price difference, as well as direct infringement. The "pit farming grain" of the vital interests of the masses, among which the "pit farming grain" is the most disgusting.
"Peng agricultural grain" refers to the use of improper methods such as deducting the weight, lowering the price, defaulting on the payment of grain, and increasing the moisture, impurities, and mildew ratio of the grain in the process of grain purchase.
Gao Shilin, the former head of Chenji Grain Station of Yizheng City Grain Purchasing and Marketing Corporation, Jiangsu Province, used third-class grains to settle accounts with farmers and second-class grains to settle with the Municipal Grain Purchase and Sales Corporation, and the difference was 10 Ten thousand yuan.
3 Corruption cases in grassroots grain depots have revealed that some places have loopholes in grain purchase, storage, and operation, and there are shortcomings in system construction, daily supervision, and personnel use.
Analyzing the relevant cases, we can find that some grain depot borers are not clever in their methods of corruption, but they have been successful repeatedly and have not been effectively rectified for a long time.
This has exposed the hidden dangers of loopholes in the grain procurement, storage, and operation of grain systems in some localities, and shortcomings in system construction, daily supervision, and personnel use.
Take Tan Weidong as an example. He has "relied on grain for food" for more than 6 years, involving various issues such as embezzlement of "increased grain", false claims, and low income from grain sales.
Zhang Jun, Deputy Secretary of the Disciplinary Committee and Deputy Director of the Supervisory Committee of Jiangdu District, Yangzhou City, analyzed that the identity of the director of the grain depot allowed Tan Weidong to fill his pockets in the grain purchase process, destroy the unit's accounting management system at will, and have no restrictions on the use of unit funds. .
The specific manifestation is that when purchasing grains, “deduct more and less report” through methods such as “discount” and “discount”; increase the proportion of moisture, impurities, and mildew in grain to form “increased grain”; and appoint his wife as the cash accountant of the grain station , Wantonly hinder the normal supervision of the accountant assigned by the superior; part of the food income is not recorded in the account, and the unit funds are put into the personal pockets, etc.
Cases show that some “gatekeepers” of grassroots grain depots have small powers and are too concentrated, and internal management is “single-word”.
For example, the director of the grain depot has greater autonomy in grain procurement, storage, and sales. The distinction between old and new grains and the identification of grain grades are mainly manual operations, which are actually freely negotiated by members of the team; internal selection and employment are arbitrary, and some directly let The spouse is responsible for the finances, some privately hired staff are responsible for the outsourcing and export business, and some leavers control the operation of the grain depot behind the scenes; the financial management of the unit is chaotic, the appointed accountant is useless, the use of personal bank cards is widespread, public and private are not separated, and grain procurement and storage funds Disengagement from supervision for a long time, operating profits stuck on the books, corruption, embezzlement of public funds and other violations of discipline and law are common.
The management of some grassroots grain depots is chaotic, internal supervision and control are weak, and external supervision is difficult.
Wang Hongwei, member of the Standing Committee of the Fengxian County Party Committee, Secretary of the County Commission for Discipline Inspection, and Director of the Supervisory Committee of Xuzhou City, Jiangsu Province, for example, according to the division of labor, the quality of grain is checked by the quality inspector, and the quantity is checked by the weigher. The warehouse management is chaotic, and the key positions such as quality inspectors, weighers, and custodians are mostly relatives, acquaintances, and fellow villagers, and they are easy to collude and commit crimes.
It is difficult for the grain authorities to effectively implement the responsibility for the inventory, quality and safety supervision of grain reserves.
The grain administrative department emphasizes business and neglects management. The system formulated for the grain depot and grain management office is mere formality, especially the supervision of finance and operation is not strong enough, and it lacks highly operable management methods.
In addition, some grain depot cadres do not have a strong sense of discipline and law-abiding.
According to Zhang Jun, the party members of some local grain depots and grain and oil management offices are in the townships, and the personnel and labor relations are in the district grain collection and storage company. Inadequate inspection and guidance on party building work has led to abnormal political life within the party in some grain depots and grain and oil management offices, infrequent party conduct and clean government education activities, gaps in daily education of unit personnel by grassroots grain depots and grain and oil management offices, and awareness of party members and cadres in discipline and law light.
4 Unswervingly punish corruption in the field of grain purchase and sale, eliminate hidden dangers in the grain field, and urge relevant party organizations to take the political responsibility for food security
At present, the discipline inspection and supervision agencies at all levels insist on the special rectification of corruption in the field of grain purchase and sale as a key task to further promote the construction of party style and clean government and the fight against corruption, strengthen political supervision, and strengthen supervision and inspection closely around food safety decision-making and deployment; Re-investigate and deal with food-related corruption issues, resolutely eliminate "big rats" and "silks" in the field of food purchase and sales, and effectively supervise and ensure food security decision-making and deployment.
Keeping close to the issue of corruption, use case investigation as a breakthrough point to promote the formation of a "punishment" deterrent.
All localities focus on outstanding issues in human, financial, and material management in the field of grain purchase and sale, conduct a clear "look back" on clues about grain-related issues since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, broaden the sources of clues, widely accept reports from the masses, and conduct food purchases and sales. Corruption in the field was discovered together and investigated and dealt with together.
Closely hold on to responsibilities, and coordinate the promotion of special rectifications carried out in a solid and orderly manner.
The provincial special rectification work coordination team issued the "Notice on Doing a Good Job in Special Rectification, Self-inspection, Self-correction and Case Investigation", and put forward specific requirements for local departments and state-owned grain enterprises to perform their main responsibilities, regulatory responsibilities, and implementation responsibilities, self-inspection and self-correction work , Detailed supervision measures.
For example, the Development and Reform Commission of Hefei City, Anhui Province urges and guides state-owned grain enterprises in counties (cities) to focus on aging, “revolving grain”, first harvesting and later transfer, lowering prices, unauthorized replacement, and pirating that may occur in the process of grain purchase, storage, and sales. , Conduct self-inspection and self-correction of issues such as violation guarantees, empty in and out, false reporting of losses, etc., to form a work ledger, and clarify the type of problem, the person responsible, and the rectification situation.
In the three-level linkage mode of provinces, cities and counties, special inspections were carried out focusing on the field of grain purchase and sale.
The grain purchase and sale system is relatively closed, and its violations of discipline and law have a certain incubation period and concealment.
While strengthening daily supervision, we must actively use the power of inspections, inspections, audits and other departments to promptly discover corruption issues that affect food security and eliminate hidden risks in the food field.
At present, various localities conduct comprehensive and in-depth “political physical examinations” of the grain purchase and sale system through inspections, to gain in-depth understanding of the implementation of the Party Central Committee’s decision and deployment of food security, performance of main functions, etc., and strive to discover corruption in grain purchase, storage, and sales. Problems and unhealthy trends, understand the implementation of rectification of problems found in various supervision and inspections.
Persist in conducting inspections and reforms while governing, with the goal of achieving long-term and regular governance in the field of grain purchase and sales, and vigorously implement the work.
While investigating the problems, the discipline inspection and supervision organs focus on analyzing and studying the deep-seated causes of food-related corruption cases, and by proposing disciplinary inspection and supervision suggestions, conducting political ecological research and judgment, etc., supervise the crime areas and units to plug loopholes, strengthen supervision, and make up for shortcomings. .
For example, the Fujian Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Grain Storage Department has promoted the acceleration of the introduction of the "Fujian Province Food Security Regulations", "Fujian Local Government Reserve Grain Safety Management Measures" and other institutional specifications, and promoted the special rectification work from solving general "individual" problems to solving problems. The deep-seated "commonality" contradiction deepens.
