Unauthorized changes to the itinerary, training under the guise, payment by subordinates... Recently, there have been many public announcements about travel issues in disguised form
Strictly investigate public travel and put on "invisibility cloak"
Hainan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision notified relevant units in Baoting and Qiongzhong counties to disguise public funds tourism cases in the name of inspection and training, and 32 party members and cadres were dealt with; All kinds of training activities since the beginning of the year have been "scanned" in full coverage, and in-depth investigation and correction of violations of laws and disciplines hidden behind the training... Recently, the discipline inspection and supervision organs have publicly announced a number of cases of public travel in disguise in the name of inspection and training, reflecting the "focus on" The "Four Winds" problem is a clear direction for invisible mutation and continuous reinforcement of the dams stipulated by the eight central regulations.
The Sixth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection requested that problems such as public-funded tourism in the name of training be seriously rectified.
Sorting out the reported cases, it can be said that there are many ways to travel with public funds: some units "organize groups" to travel, turning travel in the name of training into invisible benefits; Some take the opportunity of participating in the training to take relatives to travel and reimburse them at the management service unit... These problems highlight the invisible variation of the "four winds" problem and the renovation and upgrading of means, warning that we must persevere and promote the concept and measures of "three non-corruption" as a whole Strengthen work style construction.
People live in Putian in Xiamen, train in other places but miss a class, and travel expenses appear in the money for seedlings... "Strange things" are full of violations of laws and disciplines.
Not long ago, the second inspection team of the Guangling District Committee of Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province conducted a regular inspection of the district court.
When checking the financial account books, a suspicious reimbursement certificate caught the attention of the inspectors: Why did Wang, who was staying in Putian on a business trip, incur the cost of a train ticket to Xiamen?
The working group reviewed all approval attachments and reimbursement receipts and checked them one by one.
According to the route on the "Forecast Approval Form" filled by Wang, this business trip needs to pass through Xiamen, Putian, and Fu'an, but no bills related to Fu'an City were found in the bills.
At the same time, the accommodation invoices reimbursed by him show that he lived on Meizhou Island in Putian City from July 16 to 18.
"According to the reimbursed ticket, Wang took the train to Xiamen on the afternoon of the 17th." As the investigation deepened, more and more doubts surfaced.
After locking the relevant evidence, the clue was handed over to the District Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision.
The investigation team then had a conversation with Wang.
It turned out that Wang had planned to take this opportunity to travel to Xiamen before his business trip.
After arriving in Putian, in order to gain more time to play, he canceled his business trip to Fuan without authorization, and negotiated with the hotel on Meizhou Island to issue a false accommodation invoice to create the fact that he was on a business trip on Meizhou Island, and reimbursed him for playing in Xiamen. accommodation fee.
After investigation, Wang took a business trip to carry out official business and took a detour to Xiamen. After returning to the unit, he reimbursed a total of 1,885 yuan of related expenses in violation of regulations. Wang was given a warning from the party, and all disciplinary gains were refunded.
"I really shouldn't have these crooked thoughts. I think I've done it flawlessly, but who knows it's 'self-deceiving'." Wang confessed.
It is not uncommon for individuals to enjoy travel, but let the public pay the expenses.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, with the deepening of work style construction, blatant public funds tourism has been effectively curbed, but there are still some party members and cadres who do not stop or restrain themselves, and make flexible, discounted, and aggressive efforts to implement the eight central regulations. Invisibly mutated public travel.
Some travel with relatives and friends and reimburse them with public funds or ask their subordinate enterprises to pay.
In April this year, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervision Commission publicly notified ten typical problems of violation of the eight central regulations. Among them, Xie Changjun, a former member of the party group and deputy general manager of China Guodian Corporation, and his family traveled to Heilongjiang, and the relevant expenses were paid by the subordinate enterprises with public funds; Zhou Jiangtao, the former Secretary of the Party Committee and President of Nanning Branch of China Everbright Bank, and his family traveled in Beijing, Lhasa and other places successively, and the related expenses of 82,700 yuan were reimbursed with public funds.
Some collect collective funds to reimburse travel expenses.
In August 2021, several village cadres from a village in Fenghuang Town, Zhangjiagang City, Jiangsu Province traveled to Taizhou, Yancheng and other places on public funds in the name of collective activities.
After negotiation, 15,960 yuan of collective funds were collected from the village's fruit professional economic cooperative to pay for tourism expenses by inflating the survival rate in the completed peach seedling purchase and sales contract and paying the relevant fee clauses.
In the end, one person received a serious warning from the party, three received a warning from the party, and the rest of the people who participated in the tourism were given the first form of treatment, and the relevant travel expenses were ordered to refund.
Some travel with public funds in disguise in the name of study and training, investigation and research, and employee recuperation.
"The whole training was not taught, but was taken to Karamay Oilfield and other places to visit." Four people including Li Jiang, member of the party group and deputy director of the Health Bureau of Mingshan District, Ya'an City, Sichuan Province, received training during the training course in Urumqi, Xinjiang. For the tourism activities arranged by the organization, a total of 30,000 yuan will be reimbursed for training expenses and transportation expenses after returning to the unit.
In June this year, with the help of criticism and education, 4 people took the initiative to clarify the problem of participating in irregular training, and refunded all the expenses.
From public-funded tourism to tourism organized by management service objects and business owners, corruption is hidden behind the invisible mutation "Four Winds"
On August 12, Su Shude, the former Secretary of the Party Committee and President of the Nanning Branch of China Everbright Bank, was announced as "double-open", and the report stated that he was a typical example of "integration of wind and corruption" and willing to be "hunted", and the problems of violation of discipline and law include: "Ignoring the spirit of the eight central regulations, I violated the rules by taking a luxury charter flight arranged by a private enterprise owner to travel around the mountains and waters."
Not only Su Shude, but also by reviewing the recent notices of party discipline and government sanctions, it can be found that activities such as illegally accepting or actively requesting related persons to provide travel arrangements are one of the common problems of the cadres being dealt with.
In April this year, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervision Commission publicly notified ten typical problems that violated the spirit of the eight central regulations. Sai Qingke, former member of the party group and deputy mayor of the Hohhot Municipal Government of the autonomous region, and Wang Jinding, former secretary of the party committee and director of the Liaoning Provincial Transportation Development Center, all have problems in this regard.
Malpractice is a breeding ground for corruption.
Party members and cadres are obsessed with traveling in the mountains and waters, and are keen on extravagant pleasures.
Under the background of in-depth rectification of public-funded tourism and more and more strict financial discipline, some party members and cadres who are still addicted to tourism are eyeing management service industry associations, management service objects and private business owners, etc. Tourism even conducts power-for-money transactions.
"I took the organization's reminders as a deaf ear, and I failed the organization's trust again and again, and I missed the organization's rescue..." During the final statement of the defendant in the trial, Yao Weiguo, the former member of the party group and chief engineer of the Tonglu Branch of the Hangzhou Ecological Environment Bureau, choked several times and regretted it.
Earlier this year, the Tonglu County Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision investigated and dealt with Yao Weiguo's violation of discipline and law.
He has been in an environmental law enforcement position for a long time, and holds the "powers" of the county's environmental protection administrative law enforcement, which makes Yao Weiguo a target of all kinds of bosses.
According to the investigators, Yao Weiguo has been arranged by the business owner as his service management for many times, leading his family to go to Hailuogou in Sichuan, Suichang County in Lishui, Qiandao Lake in Chun'an and other places to enjoy the mountains and water, eat, drink and have fun.
From April 28 to May 2, 2017, Yao Weiguo, under the arrangement of Xiong Moumou, the general manager of a Zhejiang Resource Utilization Co., Ltd., accompanied Yao Weiguo and his family to a total of 10 people to play in Chengdu, Sichuan, and accompanied by the company's deputy general manager Sun Mou. The company paid a total of more than 50,000 yuan in related expenses.
In order to hide people's eyes and ears, Yao Weiguo also set up a "firewall" by himself.
"He specifically asked the company to pay various expenses in the name of the employee. In order to ensure that everything is safe, after the trip, he also asked the company to issue a receipt for his payment of related travel tickets and other expenses." The investigator introduced.
It seems that it is only a "four winds" problem, but in fact corruption is hidden.
The businessman's boss is keen to arrange Yao Weiguo and his family to travel in the mountains and waters, and at the root of it is the power in his hands.
Yao Weiguo, who was deeply caught in the "hunting", finally turned his power into a tool for personal gain, used the convenience of his position to seek benefits for others, and illegally accepted other people's property, which amounted to a huge amount.
In January of this year, Yao Weiguo was "double-opened"; in April, Yao Weiguo was sentenced to three years and three months in prison and a fine of 200,000 yuan for accepting bribes.
Privileged ideology, indifference to discipline, lack of sound financial system, complicated causes from wind and corruption
Why do public funds travel so frequently?
Party members and cadres' ideology of privilege and indifference to discipline and rules are the main reasons, and there are loopholes in the financial system and other systems that cannot be ignored.
Public-funded tourism consumes public funds and resources, causes losses to the country and society, corrupts the Party's style and political style, and damages the image of the Party and the government in the hearts of the people.
There is a hidden corruption risk in tourism arrangements such as illegal acceptance of management and service objects. We must pay close attention to the signs of sexual tendencies, so that those recurring old problems can be gradually reduced until they are not committed, so that some new problems that breed are difficult to spread.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee has attached great importance to the issue of the "Four Styles", taking the rectification of hedonism and extravagance as a key link in promoting comprehensive and strict governance of the party, and the rectification of public-funded tourism has become more and more strict.
Article 13 of the Regulations of Party and Government Organs on Practicing Conservation and Anti-waste, issued in November 2013, clearly stipulates that “Party and government organs shall establish and improve and strictly implement the internal approval system for domestic travel, strictly control the number and days of domestic travel, and strictly prohibit. For business travel activities without a clear official purpose, it is strictly forbidden to travel in disguise in the name of official business travel, and it is strictly forbidden to study, exchange and investigate and investigate between departments in different places without substantial content." A series of rules and regulations such as "Travel Expense Management Measures for Central and State Organs" were promulgated. Strengthen and standardize the management of domestic travel expenses by the central and state organs.
When revising the Regulations on Disciplinary Action of the Communist Party of China in 2015, the list of public funds for travel was listed as one item, and at the same time, the third item (4) of the 2010 "Several Guidelines for Party Members and Leading Cadres of the Communist Party of China to Engage in Honest Politics" "Traveling with public funds or using public funds in disguise for tourism" "The content is absorbed, and new forms of disciplinary violations are stipulated.
In 2018, the "Regulations on Disciplinary Actions of the Communist Party of China" continued to be revised, and Article 105 of which stipulated in detail the type and extent of public travel and the applicable punishment.
At the same time, at each node, the discipline inspection and supervision organs at all levels seriously investigate and publicly report the "four winds" issues, including public-funded tourism and illegally receiving management and service objects, and other tourism arrangements, demonstrating the strict management of the Party by the Party Central Committee The strong determination of the party reflects the clear orientation of resisting corruption and preventing change from leading cadres and strict work styles.
Grasping the characteristics of the construction of the style of work in stages, it is necessary to repeatedly attack old problems, but also to guard against new trends at all times, and attack the emerging problems as soon as they appear.
Promoting comprehensive and strict governance of the party from the beginning of work style construction is a vivid practice of promoting the "three non-corruption" in one.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core has promoted comprehensive and strict governance of the party from the formulation and implementation of the eight central regulations. We will work together with the discipline of the party, adhere to the overall promotion of uprightness, discipline and anti-corruption, insist on rectifying trees at the same time, and make efforts to punish and deter, restrain the system, and improve consciousness, and promote the governance of the party from loose and soft to strict and strict, and realize the revolutionary forging of the party. .
But the stubborn disease of the "Four Winds" still lingers.
According to statistics, in the first half of this year, there were 23,343 cases involving hedonism and extravagance among the spiritual problems that violated the eight central regulations in the country. This shows that there are still people who do not restrain themselves under high pressure. Stick to it.
Invisible variation is a prominent feature of the current "four winds" problem, and the quasi-stage features must be thoroughly rectified.
Since the beginning of this year, the discipline inspection and supervision organs at all levels have insisted that they should solve whatever problems they have, and focus on rectifying any problems if they are prominent. The “four styles” such as traveling with public funds in the name of training and inspection, accepting management service objects, and organizing tours by business owners Targeted rectification of invisible mutation problems.
Xuyi County, Jiangsu Province used "Technology +" to help rectify the problem of public-funded tourism, and conducted random checks on the travel accounts, bills, contracts and other content of operating travel agencies in more than 10 counties, focusing on screening the problems of public-funded tourism in disguised form by the staff of party and government organs and public institutions clue.
In order to intensify the digging of clues to the invisible variant of public funds tourism, the County Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision carried out extended supervision on the implementation of the employee recuperation system, and whether the selection and determination of fixed-point execution agencies are compliant and reasonable, and the route for recuperation and recuperation. Whether the use of funds is strictly implemented in accordance with regulations, etc. shall be comprehensively checked to prevent the occurrence of the problem of taking public funds to travel by taking the opportunity of employees to recuperate.
Strictly prevent a small number of cadres from using the associations and chambers of commerce to set up "small treasuries" and "off-the-book accounts" to report public funds for travel and other issues.
The Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision of Changshu City, Jiangsu Province takes the promotion of disciplinary supervision of social organizations as the starting point, and focuses on the "four winds" problems existing in the field of social organizations to carry out special governance.
The focus is on the administrative organs and their public officials who illegally transfer and apportion expenses such as official reception and study tours to social organizations; use social organizations as "small treasuries" and illegally provide public funds for travel expenses, etc.; illegally participate in tourism activities arranged by social organizations, and Special rectifications will be carried out on inspections, learning, and exchange activities that have no substantive content, and serious violations of discipline and discipline will be investigated and corrected.
Under the unified deployment of Sichuan Province, Baoxing County Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision, together with the organization department, required all townships (towns), departments, enterprises and institutions to seriously carry out self-inspection and self-inspection on the situation of organizing cadres and employees to participate in various trainings since 2017. To rectify, simultaneously and comprehensively investigate the cadre and employee education and training projects organized by the unit and its system, and resolutely stop the evil spirit of public tourism in the name of training.
"When we carry out review and sampling inspections, we mainly focus on key shifts, especially if the training location is in tourist cities; we focus on key areas, such as education, health care, transportation and other industry systems; The problems that have been sorted out are compared one by one to ensure that the review and sampling work is effective." said He Chunhua, member of the Standing Committee of the Baoxing County Commission for Discipline Inspection.
The County Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision established 2 review teams to conduct review and sampling inspections in townships (towns), county-level departments, enterprises and institutions.
