Push the responsibility down, the center of gravity, and the power down, and solve the problem of "can't manage what you want to manage, but can't manage what you can manage" in the village community
Promotion and supervision reach the forefront of rural revitalization
Our reporter Han Yadong
Grassroots governance is the cornerstone of national governance and an important part of promoting the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity.
With the rapid economic and social development, the interests of grassroots social governance are complex and changeable, and the arduousness of governance has become increasingly prominent.
General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, more efforts should be made to strengthen the basic work at the grass-roots level and improve the ability of grass-roots governance.
The Sixth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection called for "persistently rectifying corruption and unhealthy practices around the masses" and "strengthening the supervision and inspection of the advancement of key rural revitalization projects".
Continuously improve the governance mechanism for problems that damage the interests of the masses in the field of people's livelihood, guide the pilot project of village (community) collective "three capitals" promotion and supervision, and discipline inspection and supervision organs at all levels take grass-roots supervision as the top priority, and insist on lowering the responsibility and lowering the center of gravity. , power down, improve the grass-roots supervision system and mechanism, integrate grass-roots supervision forces, give full play to the role of the people as the main body of supervision, effectively integrate into grass-roots governance, and comprehensively improve the overall quality and effectiveness of grass-roots supervision.
"The Sub-district Disciplinary Work Committee has been handling cases for several years, and the task force has investigated them in a few months. The advantages of promotion and supervision are immediate!"
In September 2021, the Disciplinary Committee of Huainan Town, Yong'an City, Sanming City, Fujian Province received a report that Lin, the former secretary of a village party branch within its jurisdiction, illegally distributed subsidies to Luo, a cadre employed by the village.
The clues to the problem are clear and easy to check.
Considering that Lin had been a village cadre for many years, there were many acquaintances in the village and town, and the village situation was complicated, the Huainan Town Commission for Discipline Inspection immediately submitted a request to the Yongan Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision.
After research and judgment, the Yongan Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision launched the cooperation mechanism of "regional verification + promotion supervision + cross-examination", and designated the second area to select business backbones to form an inspection team to carry out investigations, changing "single-soldier operations" to "concentrated battles" to achieve supervision. Effective integration of forces.
The task force worked together to tackle the tough problems and quickly found out Lin's violation of discipline.
After investigation, from 2016 to 2020, Lin discussed with the then-village director, and illegally distributed 18,000 yuan of lost work allowance to the villager Luo by falsely posting his clerical position; from 2017 to 2019, Lin falsely increased Luo's lost work. For the number of days, a subsidy of 6,000 yuan will be issued to him in violation of the rules.
In November 2021, Lin was given a severe warning within the party.
In some places, when township disciplinary committees encountered key and difficult petitions involving the collective "three capitals" and difficult clues to verify, they changed the situation of "individual combat" through promotion and supervision, effectively solving the problems of township disciplinary committees that appeared in practice. Insufficient staff and difficult supervision by acquaintances.
In Dongdae Village, Dongdae Street, Guancheng Hui District, Zhengzhou City, Henan Province, since 2015, people have reported the then village director Cui Zhenzhou embezzling collective assets and confusing collective accounts.
Due to the vague clues of the reported problem and the weak strength of the Street Disciplinary Work Committee, the clues have not been identified for a long time, and related reports have continued.
Since 2019, Guancheng Hui District has begun to explore promotion and supervision.
In response to the relevant situation of Cui Zhenzhou reflected in the letters and visits, the District Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision decided to implement promotion and supervision.
In March of that year, the task force launched an investigation into the Cui Zhenzhou case.
Soon, the truth of the case surfaced.
After checking the assets and checking the accounts, the task force found that there was a village collective office building. Cui Zhenzhou signed a lease agreement with the merchant and collected rent.
The task force retrieved the merchant's personal bank flow and found that every year before and after the merchant paid rent to the Dongdajie collective account, there would be another fixed large-amount fund transfer, and the beneficiary was Cui Zhenzhou.
The task force later found the merchant, and the merchant saw that the case handler was a "new face", and then the whole story was revealed.
It turned out that when Cui Zhenzhou signed the lease agreement, he signed a "yin and yang contract" with the tenant in violation of the rules: the "bright contract" stipulated that the annual rent of the office building was 3 million yuan, and the tenant would regularly enter the collective account of Dongdajie; the "yin contract" stipulated that the annual rent was 5.1 million yuan, and the tenant paid the remaining 2.1 million yuan in rent into Cui Zhenzhou's personal account.
After investigation, Cui Zhenzhou has embezzled more than 5.7 million yuan of collective funds of the village.
Cui Zhenzhou was sentenced to five years in prison, and all the stolen money was recovered.
The reason why the case has been delayed for a long time is that on the one hand, the Street Disciplinary Work Committee has few personnel, weak strength, and insufficient experience in handling the case; The interference of the relationship network brings certain difficulties to the handling of the case.
"The Sub-district Disciplinary Work Committee has been handling cases for several years, and the task force has found out in a few months. The advantages of promotion and supervision are immediate!" said the task force.
Some villages "can't manage what they want to manage, but can't manage what they can manage." The implementation of promotion supervision will help promote the transformation of grassroots supervision from tangible coverage to effective coverage.
The Party's grass-roots organizations in villages are the foundation of all the Party's work at the grassroots level and its combat effectiveness, and it is also the leading core of various organizations and work in the villages.
To ensure the effective implementation of major decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee, it is necessary not only to do a good job in the "first mile" of functional departments and directly affiliated agencies, but also to complete the "last mile" task of grassroots party organizations.
Judging from petition reports, supervision and discipline enforcement, and review and investigation in recent years, corruption and work style problems around the masses are prone to occur frequently.
From January to November 2021, a total of more than 130,000 corruption and work style issues around the country will be investigated and dealt with, more than 190,000 people will be criticized and educated, and more than 120,000 people will be punished by party discipline and government affairs.
At present, when it comes to rectifying corruption and work styles around the masses, some grass-roots villages are facing difficulties such as insufficient strength and lack of resources.
From the perspective of the village itself, problems such as disordered internal management, ineffective institutional constraints, and weak rural governance exist to varying degrees.
The person in charge of the Sanming Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision stated that some villages are located in remote locations and have a large number of people who go out, and there are problems such as unclear "three capitals", incomplete accounts, non-standard management, lax revenue and expenditure control, and loss of collective resources and assets. Village cadres have weak awareness of discipline and rules, simple working methods and methods, ignoring democratic decision-making systems such as "four discussions and two disclosures", and making choices to implement the system. The extensive model is still used, the work is arbitrary, the level of informatization supervision is not high, and the villagers' right to participate and supervise cannot be guaranteed; some villages are rich in resources and economically developed, and grass-roots cadres encroach on the "three capitals", public funds to eat and drink, etc. has happened.
From the perspective of external supervision, problems such as less supervision by superiors, weak supervision at the same level, and difficult supervision by the masses exist to varying degrees.
The person in charge of the Sanming Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision said that due to time and space constraints, higher-level party organizations have a relatively simple way of supervising village cadres. It is difficult to accurately grasp their exercise of power by listening to reports and watching the scene. The initiative of supervision and inspection, lack of understanding of how village-level organizations carry out their work and follow-up of problems, there are phenomena that emphasis on complaints and reports over supervision and inspection, emphasis on target control over general governance, emphasis on short-term effects rather than long-term mechanisms, and insufficient performance of supervisory responsibilities in place.
The construction of village-level supervision system and mechanism is not perfect.
The members of the village-level supervision organization come from within the village community, and there is a phenomenon that they are afraid to do so and not want to not supervise.
The village-level supervisory power is weak, the ability to detect and deal with problems is limited, the main responsibility of individual grass-roots party committees and the special supervision of disciplinary committees are not fully implemented, the joint supervision force is insufficient, the supervision methods are backward, and the prevention and investigation of grass-roots cadres’ violations of discipline and law are weak and weak.
In some areas, the masses are not willing to actively participate in the management of village affairs and democratic supervision, and they have insufficient understanding of national policies, laws and regulations, and it is difficult to exercise supervision rights.
Zhuang Deshui, deputy director of the Research Center for Integrity Construction at Peking University, believes that in response to the "far, weak, and difficult" problems of village-level power supervision, actively exploring and conducting pilot projects for village-level promotion and supervision will help extend the tentacles of supervision and discipline to the most grass-roots level and promote the grass-roots level. Supervision has shifted from tangible coverage to effective coverage, solved village-level supervision problems, and improved grass-roots supervision capabilities and governance efficiency.
Through daily supervision and promotion, special supervision and promotion, and clue handling and promotion, we will grasp the key points and implement targeted policies to solve the problems of non-standard management and inadequate supervision of the collective "three capitals" in villages.
Establish a supervising network that links up and down and connects left and right to solve the problem of "who will supervise".
All localities integrate supervisory forces, share information resources, and conduct “multi-pronged approaches” by means of special supervision, patrolling villages, and cross-checking each other, so as to conduct practical and detailed peripheral supervision.
Yong'an City, Sanming City has established a cooperation area, and the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision will handle the difficult and complex problems in the cooperation area. A total of 18 offices, dispatched discipline inspection and supervision teams, and district party inspection teams are paired with 6 villages and 12 communities to promote "cadres organize groups to the grassroots, resolve conflicts in the bud, collect information on the front line, and solve problems on the spot".
Focus on work priorities, enhance the targeted effectiveness of promotion and supervision, and solve the problem of "what to supervise".
The Henan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision clearly focuses on the three key points of "people, rights and affairs", and pays close attention to key groups such as the implementation of grass-roots policies, the allocation of funds for the benefit of the people, and the management of "three capitals" at the village level; Use power, implement the party and state policies and policies, and implement the village-level "three important and one big" collective decision-making; pay close attention to the lack of supervision, loss and devaluation, corruption and encroachment in the management of "three capitals", and screen collective assets. And counties and cities with large scale of creditor's rights and debts and concentrated public feedback will be piloted to carry out promotion supervision.
The Pingdingshan Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision guided the Jia County Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision to address the outstanding problems of unclear village-level collective assets, unclear ownership, serious loss, etc. "manage.
Implement the "three promotions", break through the pain points of promotion supervision, and solve the problem of "how to supervise".
The Henan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision has implemented daily supervision and promotion, and urged each pilot county-level Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision to comprehensively use visits and investigations, symposium exchanges, and account checking to understand the process of discussion and decision-making on major issues at the village level, to prevent problems and correct deviations in a timely manner. The problem is solved at the grassroots level; special supervision and promotion are carried out in detail, and supervision is adhered to while regulation. Regularly cooperate with relevant departments to carry out cross-examination and special inspections around the management of "three capitals", and timely issue disciplinary inspection and supervision suggestions for weak links to promote investigation and correction. Problems, reform and governance through coordination; do a good job in handling clues and upgrades, establish a “through train” for petition and reporting, give full play to the supervision role of the masses and the media, and directly investigate and deal with the outstanding problems that are strongly reflected by the county-level discipline inspection commission, and provide two-way feedback. Efforts should be made to "keep small things out of the village, big things out of the town, and contradictions not to be handed in".
The Luohe Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision instructed the county and district to adopt the "inspection + audit + finance" linkage method, flexibly use "key inspection" and "mobile inspection" and other methods to directly insert into the village, strictly inspect the "off-book accounts" of village-level financial affairs, and conduct detailed inspections for poverty alleviation. The "key accounts" of the project and the "people's livelihood accounts" involving the interests of the masses are carefully investigated, and the county and village are urged to do a good job in rectification and implementation, and comprehensively improve the management level of "three capitals".
Taking the opportunity of promotion and supervision to implement precise and systematic treatment, and exert the comprehensive effect of treating both the symptoms and root causes
In May 2020, when the third inspection team of the Chaohu Municipal Committee of Anhui Province inspected Xiage Town, it found that the secretary of the general party branch and director of the village committee of Yuantong Village in the town was suspected of extracting project funds for other purposes.
Subsequently, the Central Fifth Inspection Team handed over relevant clues to Chaohu City during the inspection in Anhui.
Considering that the clues of the problem are more complex and the masses have strong reactions, after a collective study of the problem clues investigation committee, the Chaohu Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision decided to upgrade the clues, and it was clarified that a member of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection was responsible for the case, and the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision was the first. The Disciplinary Inspection and Supervision Office conducts direct investigations.
In September 2021, the secretary of the general Party branch of the village and the director of the village committee were expelled from the party and transferred to justice.
Chaohu Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision has also explored the establishment of a joint meeting mechanism for promotion and supervision. Together with the municipal finance, auditing, agriculture and rural departments, it regularly analyzes and judges common problems, improves the governance mechanism for grassroots damage to the interests of the masses, and promotes the quality and efficiency of supervision. .
"Take the opportunity of promotion and supervision to promote the integration and integration of various supervisions, form a supervision pattern of upper and lower linkages, and further leverage the synergy of grassroots supervision." said He Jun, member of the Standing Committee of the Chaohu Municipal Party Committee, Secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, and chairman of the Supervision Commission.
"The supervision of promotion is not to go beyond the supervision of the town and street party (work) committees and discipline (work) committees, but the joint supervision of the district and county level and the township (street) level." Zhuang Deshui believes that in the pilot work of promotion supervision Among them, the party (labor) committees of the pilot towns and sub-districts should implement their main responsibilities, play the role of the goose, and coordinate the management of the “three capitals” of the pilot villages, daily supervision and inspection, and the rectification of problems found in the audit of the departure of the principals of the “two committees” of the village. and other work; the town and street discipline (work) committees should also give full play to the advantages of "personal" supervision and "outpost" supervision, and integrate promotion and supervision into their daily lives.
In response to the outstanding problems found in the promotion and supervision, the discipline inspection and supervision organs promptly urge the follow-up investigation and analysis, supervision and inspection, special governance and system construction to give full play to the comprehensive governance effect, realize the integrated promotion of "punishment, governance and prevention" to ensure that the village (Community) Sustained and healthy development, so that the masses have a better sense of achievement, a more sustainable sense of happiness, and a more secure sense of security.
"I thought I could bypass supervision by concealing myself, but I didn't expect to be found out..." Fan Jianwu, the former secretary of the party branch of Cheqian Village, Dazhe Town, Suichang County, Lishui City, Zhejiang Province, was warned by the party for contracting the village's projects in violation of regulations Punishment.
It took only 2 days for the County Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision from the discovery of clues to the basic facts.
After the incident, the County Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision explored the working mechanism of village (community) “one-shoulder” cadre promotion and supervision, formulated a list of village-level small and micro powers, clarified the procedures and authority for handling related matters, and compiled a power operation flow chart to ensure that the village ( The community) "shovels" cadres and "does things according to the map".
Not long ago, Chen Songlin, former party secretary of Xijie Village, Qingnian Road Sub-district, Zhongmu County, Henan Province, was expelled from the party and transferred to the procuratorate for review and prosecution in accordance with the law for cooperating with others to embezzle public funds and abuse power, causing heavy losses to national interests.
In response to the problems and risks exposed in this case, the County Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision issued a proposal for discipline inspection and supervision to the Qingnian Road Sub-district Party Working Committee, urging it to study and decide on major issues, major activities, and major projects in the management of "three capitals" for the village-level collective. In the process, the implementation of "four discussions and two disclosures" was not in place, and the "one-word hall" acted arbitrarily, the lack of daily supervision by the street party working committee, the lack of disciplinary supervision by the street discipline working committee, and the lack of democratic supervision by the village affairs supervision committee. Risk points and weak links, detailed. Improve the village-level "three capitals" management system, establish four lists of village-level power, responsibility, risk, and supervision, and use the rural small and micro power supervision platform to air it, and urge village cadres to be vigilant and cautious in using power. Street discipline inspection and supervision agencies and village affairs supervision committees carry out joint supervision on the performance of village cadres, and the masses can also report their opinions and suggestions in the implementation at any time, and strive to solve the problems of unclear rights and responsibilities, irregular procedures, etc. Supervision and constraints are difficult and other issues.
