Notification of typical cases, issuance of deepening rectification opinions...Disciplinary inspection and supervision agencies continue to increase punishment for corruption in the field of grain purchases and sales
Dig deep into "big rats" and "worms" to protect the granary of a big country
Our reporter Wang Zhuo Lu Lihuan
Food security is related to the national economy and the people's livelihood, and it is "the biggest of the country".
Beginning in August 2021, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the National Supervisory Committee have deployed nationwide special rectification work on corruption in the field of grain purchases and sales, investigated and dealt with a group of daring and greedy "rats" and "worms", and achieved remarkable results.
The Second Plenary Session of the 20th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection will continue to deepen the rectification of grain purchase and sales as a key area.
On January 29, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the National Supervisory Committee publicly notified ten typical cases of violations of discipline and law in the field of grain purchases and sales. It sent a strong signal to further rectify systemic corruption in the field of grain purchase and sales.
Recently, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the National Supervisory Committee issued the "Opinions on Deepening the Special Rectification of Corruption in the Field of Grain Purchase and Sales" (hereinafter referred to as the "Opinions") to re-mobilize and redeploy the special rectification work, requiring discipline inspection and supervision agencies at all levels to ensure that the mechanism does not No change, no reduction in strength, no drop in standards, and practical services to ensure national food security.
Grain purchase and sale is a key link in ensuring food security.
At present, there are prominent problems such as lack of supervision in the field of grain purchase and sales, internal and external collusion, and lax law enforcement. "Relying on grain to eat food" is prone to frequent occurrences. It is still necessary to remain sober and firm, and unswervingly advance the special rectification work in depth
The ten cases announced this time were all investigated and dealt with during the special rectification work.
Among them, the first case was Xu Baoyi, a former member of the party group and deputy general manager of China Grain Group Corporation, who intervened and intervened in the bidding agency and bribery case of the grain business.
In June last year, Xu Baoyi was expelled from the party and public office for serious violations of discipline and law. "Relying on food for food" is one of his violations of discipline and law.
This notification revealed the fact that Xu Baoyi used grain for personal gain - "greeted to the staff of China Grain Group Corporation in charge of bidding agency in violation of regulations, and helped a bidding company enter the directory of China Grain Group Corporation's bidding agency" "in the grain logistics warehousing operation, storage Determination of storage points, etc., to seek benefits for others", the amount involved is large, the circumstances are bad, and the consequences are serious.
State-owned grain enterprises undertake the important responsibility of purchasing, storing, and operating the country's grain. Some "grain rats" take advantage of it, seriously erode the interests of the masses, cause national losses, and affect food security.
Xu Baoyi is not the only case. There are many cases in the report that occurred in state-owned grain enterprises.
Including the case of Zhang Dongsheng, the former deputy general manager of Guangxi Branch of China Grain Group Corporation, embezzling public funds, accepting bribes, and illegally making profits for relatives and friends; Zhou Xinkai, the former party secretary and chairman of Anhui Grain Group Co., Ltd. Borrowing money to collect high interest rates, bribery cases; Shaanxi Food and Agriculture Group Co., Ltd. former Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman Wang Dongfeng illegally sold grain reserves, illegally managed special funds, and bribery cases, etc.
Combing the cases investigated and dealt with in various places, the problem of "relying on food for food" occurred in some state-owned grain enterprises, and the methods can be described as various.
Using Chen Dingxin to replace the good ones to create "circular grain".
For example, in the process of purchasing and storing policy grains, Zhou Xinkai, together with or arranging others, illegally transferred more than 11,500 tons of previously purchased commercial grains and old grains into "market grains" with higher prices, illegally arbitrating the price difference.
False acquisitions, false reports of losses, false rotations, and doping.
For example, Zhang Dongsheng misappropriated more than 110 million yuan of public funds to others by signing false grain purchase and sales agreements, and was suspected of committing a crime of embezzlement of public funds.
Illegal bidding and bidding in warehousing and other projects, and illegal handling led to the loss of state-owned assets.
For example, Wang Dongfeng arranged for the rotation and sale of more than 38,900 tons of provincial-level rice reserves in violation of regulations, resulting in long-term empty and deficit storage of provincial-level grain reserves.
During the special rectification, it was also found that the competent supervision department did not implement its responsibilities in place, and there were loopholes in the supervision and control mechanism, which were important reasons for the occurrence of grain-related corruption and the loss of state-owned assets.
For example, in the case of Lu Lin, the former secretary of the party group and director of the Fuzhou Grain and Material Reserve Bureau in Fujian Province, engaged in profit-making activities in violation of regulations, failed to supervise grain reserves, and accepted bribes, due to Lu Lin's incorrect performance of supervisory duties, the relevant companies were involved in the dynamic procurement of grain reserves. Problems such as "replacing old with fresh", "circling food", and unauthorized use appeared in the rotation business.
For some grassroots grain depots, the power of "gatekeepers" is too concentrated. In addition, grassroots grain supervision agencies and personnel are weak, and supervision capabilities and experience are insufficient. There are problems in financial asset management, personnel selection and employment, and operating mechanisms. However, some business executives are also prone to stealing and turning into granary "big rats".
In the notification, Xiong Jun, the former director of the Grain and Material Reserve Guarantee Center in Shaoguan City, Guangdong Province, falsely rotated grain, failed to supervise the storage of finished grain, corruption, and bribery cases, and Zeng Guiliang, the former director of the No. 1 and No. 3 grain depots in Guilin City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, falsely rotated. Cases of illegal grain storage, misappropriation of public funds, and bribery are all typical examples of corruption in grassroots grain depots.
These cases have repeatedly shown that the current stock of corruption in the field of grain purchases and sales has not yet bottomed out, and the increase is still occurring. In particular, problems such as lack of supervision, internal and external collusion, and lax law enforcement are prominent. There is a long way to go to systematically implement and eradicate corruption in the field.
The "Opinions" pointed out that it is necessary to continue to increase the punishment of corruption in the field of grain purchases and sales, and carry out a clear-cut "review" of clues related to grain-related issues.
"Seriously investigating and dealing with violations of discipline and law in the field of grain purchases and sales fully demonstrates the strong determination and firm will of the Party Central Committee to unswervingly promote the construction of a clean government and the fight against corruption, and releases a strong signal of 'If you reach out, you will be caught'." Chen Fangliu, deputy dean of the School of Marxism at the Shanghai Municipal Party School, said.
Keep an eye on the key and difficult issues of corruption in the field of grain purchase and sale, dig deep into the clues of the problem, and strictly investigate and deal with a number of corruption cases in the field of grain purchase and sale, forming a strong deterrent of "not daring to be corrupt"
The "Opinions" pointed out that it is necessary to publicly report major typical cases to the public in a timely manner, so that cadres can be vigilant and know where to stop, and form a strict atmosphere.
The reporter noted that this report is the second time that the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the National Supervisory Committee have focused on exposing typical problems of violations of discipline and law in the field of grain purchases and sales. manner.
The Shanxi Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection has publicly notified three typical cases of corruption in the field of grain purchase and sales, including Yang Bin, the former director of the Datong Local Grain Reserve Management Center.
Subsequently, the discipline inspection commissions and supervisory commissions of various cities in the province also notified the typical cases of corruption in the field of grain purchase and sales that were exposed and investigated, achieving the same frequency resonance of the "strict tone".
"The formation of a strong atmosphere can amplify deterrence. We insist on discovering and investigating one case, and announce typical cases in a timely manner to show the whole society that we have zero tolerance for food-related corruption, and continue to release a strong signal of comprehensive strictness and investigation to the end." Shanxi The relevant responsible comrades of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision said.
The "Opinions" require that we should pay close attention to the corruption behind the grain-related chaos, thoroughly investigate and deal with "shadow shareholders", "shadow companies", "national skins and people's bones" and related transactions, fraudulent funds, transfer of benefits and other cases, and severely punish them , keep the zero-tolerance deterrence unchanged, and the high-pressure punishment force is always there.
Not only Xu Baoyi, but in recent years, the National Supervisory Committee of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection has also investigated and dealt with Xu Ming, a former member of the Party Leadership Group and Deputy Director of the State Grain Administration, and Zhang Wufeng, a former member of the Party Leadership Group of the National Development and Reform Commission and former Director of the National Grain and Material Reserve Bureau. Centrally managed cadres, discipline inspection and supervision agencies at all levels have intensified their efforts to handle corruption in the field of grain purchases and sales, and maintained a high-pressure situation to rectify violations of discipline and law in the field of grain purchases and sales.
The key to ensuring that the special rectification achieves actual results is to find out everything, find out exactly, and investigate deeply.
All localities insist on all-round and multi-angle inspections, and adopt special inspections, self-inspection and self-correction by responsible departments, supervision and inspection by disciplinary inspection and supervision agencies, etc., to comprehensively check the problems existing in the field of grain purchase and sales.
The Disciplinary Inspection and Supervision Team of China Grain Storage Group earnestly implements the centralized acceptance system for problem clues, guides and urges discipline inspection and supervision agencies at all levels of the system to dynamically update and improve the ledgers of grain-related corruption issues, comprehensively find out the bottom line of the problem, and persist in curbing the increase and eliminating the stock, and strive to Realize the clues of grain-related corruption problems to "clear the warehouse and see the bottom".
Disciplinary inspection and supervision agencies at all levels in Fujian Province pay close attention to the three key links of grass-roots acquisition, storage, and sales, and cooperate with the competent business supervision department to carry out a "pull-net" inventory of state-owned grain enterprises in the jurisdiction, establish a list of problems, and implement reconciliation and cancellation of accounts. Thoroughly find out the real foundation.
Special rectification is a systematic project involving all aspects.
Disciplinary inspection and supervision agencies comprehensively use the methods of upgrading and handling, direct investigation and direct handling, etc., give full play to the advantages of "office, organization and local" joint case handling, and use big data and other means to dig deep into the clues of the problem to ensure that the investigation is thorough and should be investigated.
The Seventh Supervision and Inspection Office of the Heilongjiang Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, the Disciplinary Inspection and Supervision Group of the Beidahuang Agricultural Reclamation Group Co., Ltd., and the Yichun City Supervision Committee jointly investigated the case of Shi Zhonghua, the former party secretary and chairman of the Beidahuang Grain Group Co., Ltd.
Taking advantage of the discipline inspection and supervision team stationed in Beidahuang Land Reclamation Group Co., Ltd. to understand the social relationship network of the personnel involved in the case, the Yichun Municipal Supervisory Committee promptly dispatched business backbones in business management, accounting and auditing, etc., to assist the joint case handling team to quickly and in-depth understanding of business laws and regulations. The modus operandi is to analyze the capital flow of the involved enterprises, main business income, financial and tax statements and other major data, cooperate with interviews and evidence collection, and finally successfully break through the psychological defense line of the personnel involved.
"'Offices, groups and localities' jointly handle cases, integrate anti-corruption resources, form a joint effort to handle cases, realize the unified deployment of case handling forces, and promote the effect of '1+1+1>3'." Said the responsible comrade of the Yichun Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision .
Leading cadres in the food system, especially the "top leaders" who are familiar with the business and have been working in the food system for many years, are often a group with a high incidence of corruption in the field of food purchases and sales.
Taking the investigation and handling of typical cases of "top leaders" as a guide, focusing on key people and key matters, and resolutely investigating and dealing with "relying on food" such as power-money transactions and benefit transfers, is a powerful starting point for continuously improving the pertinence and effectiveness of special rectifications.
The Guilin Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region gives priority to the investigation and disposal of clues to the "top leaders", establishes and improves a closed-loop mechanism of "discovering problems-strict discipline and law-rectification and rectification-deepening governance", and effectively protects the "Northern Guangxi granary".
The reporter learned that since last year, the Guangxi Disciplinary Inspection and Supervision Agency has re-investigated 1,004 clues on grain-related issues, targeting "top leaders", grass-roots grain depots, and subsidy funds, and has investigated and dealt with 1,027 cases of violations of discipline and law.
Strengthen supervision and inspection, transmit pressure layer by layer, tighten and consolidate the main responsibility and supervision responsibility of grain purchase and sales, resolutely correct inaction, slow action, and disorderly action, and focus on solving the problem of lack of supervision
The "Opinions" pointed out that it is necessary to continue to consolidate the responsibilities of all parties, urge local party committees and governments to assume the main responsibility for grain purchase and sales safety, and implement the same responsibility of the party and government for food safety; Management and industry supervision responsibilities, improve the law enforcement agency system, enrich the supervision force, strengthen supervision methods, increase inspection efforts, and resolutely correct inaction, slow action, and disorderly action.
Many disciplinary inspection and supervision cadres told reporters that some grassroots party committees and governments are not effective in implementing the grain safety responsibility system, the internal management of grain purchases and sales is chaotic, and the enforcement of grain laws and regulations is lax; The "top leaders" have "loose and soft" supervision, which has led to some grassroots grain stations (depots) buying grain from other places and selling it as local orders, and taking subsidies from the state's order grains; Food”, over-the-air period arbitrage of subsidies and other issues.
"Lack of supervisory responsibility, imperfect management system, imperfect internal operation mechanism of grain-related enterprises, and lack of management of grass-roots grain depots are important reasons for grain-related corruption." Guilin Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision of Party Style and Government Style Supervision Office Director Lan Zhenwu said.
Disciplinary inspection and supervision agencies at all levels have strengthened supervision and inspection around the key links of grain purchases and sales, tightened and compacted the main responsibility and supervision responsibilities of grain purchases and sales, promoted grassroots state-owned grain depots to strengthen internal governance, and strived to solve the problem of lack of supervision.
Wuxi Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision of Wuxi City, Jiangsu Province promotes regular reporting of work progress by five municipal grain-related departments and municipal industry groups including development and reform, finance, grain and material reserves, and promotes the main responsibility of the party committee and government, the supervision responsibility of the competent supervision department, and the implementation responsibility of state-owned grain enterprises fully implemented.
The Disciplinary Inspection and Supervision Team of the Fujian Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision in the Provincial Development and Reform Commission conducted timely conversations and reminded the key few such as the "top leaders" of the supervised units, and promoted the rationalization of the working mechanism from functional departments to grassroots grain depots, and clarified responsibilities at all levels.
The reported cases show that among the corruption problems in the field of grain purchase and sales, the problems of inaction, slow action, and disorderly action are also more prominent.
Guo Qicai, deputy director of the Second Disciplinary Inspection and Supervision Office of the Fuzhou Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision, told reporters that in the corruption cases investigated and dealt with in the field of grain purchases and sales, corruption and work style issues are intertwined.
The staff in some related positions did not fully and correctly perform their job duties, allowing purchase and sales personnel to take advantage of it. The problem of Lulin's ineffective supervision of grain reserves is more typical.
"During his tenure, Lu Lin did not perform his duties correctly, and his supervision of the municipal grain reserve management was ineffective, and the pressure transmission was insufficient. As a result, the subordinate enterprises did not formulate regulatory rules and regulations for a long time, did not send personnel to supervise the procurement work as required, and the management of the warehouse supervision mechanism was chaotic. In the procurement and rotation of dynamic reserve grains, there are problems such as 'using Chen Dingxin', 'circling grain', and unauthorized use."
Focusing on issues of responsibility, corruption, and style of work, the Beihai Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region focused on the two key personnel of "grain officials" and "grain merchants", and used special inspections and big data comparisons to dig deep into the problem of "relying on food to eat food" Corruption and style issues.
The Heilongjiang Provincial Discipline Inspection and Supervision Agency actively supervises relevant business supervisory departments and state-owned grain enterprises to compact responsibilities in an all-round way, find problems in the whole chain, expand results in the whole process, and in-depth search for responsibility, corruption, and work style issues.
Disciplinary inspection and supervision agencies have established supervision sheets, and weaved a "supervision network" layer by layer, and strictly pursued and held accountable for selective and perfunctory rectification, and even falsification, and crimes while reforming.
Combining positive trends, eliminating discipline, and anti-corruption with deepening reform, improving systems, promoting governance, and promoting development, combined with cases to find loopholes, promote the formation of a long-term mechanism that relies on systems to manage power, food, and people
To do a good job in the special rectification of corruption in the field of grain purchase and sales, it is necessary to take "immediate reform" measures and form a "long-term establishment" mechanism.
Disciplinary inspection and supervision agencies at all levels plan and promote cases to promote reform and cases to promote governance, accelerate the construction of smart grain depots, deepen the reform of grain storage and purchase and sales systems, and promote systematic and long-term governance of corruption in the field of grain purchases and sales to achieve new results .
The "Opinions" pointed out that it is necessary to continue to promote the reform of the regulatory system and mechanism, carefully analyze the deep-seated reasons for the major typical cases investigated and handled and the outstanding problems discovered by self-inspection and self-correction, and put forward targeted disciplinary inspection and supervision suggestions.
Promote the use of cases to promote reform and the use of cases to promote governance.
The Qinghai Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision organized members of the special rectification and coordination team on corruption in the field of grain purchases and sales to conduct in-depth front-line investigations, formed 14 research reports, put forward more than 70 countermeasures and suggestions for deepening governance, and promoted the improvement of 174 institutional mechanisms.
The Commission for Disciplinary Inspection and Supervision of Hefei City, Anhui Province, in response to the investigation and handling of the case of Feixi Ruifeng Grain and Oil Company Dai Mouwo, supervised and guided the grassroots grain depots involved in the case to improve 31 systems and mechanisms, such as grain reserve storage management and state-owned enterprise internal audit, to improve the quality and efficiency of food safety governance .
The transformation from the "gatekeeper" of the granary to the "worm" of the granary is an important reason for the indifference of discipline and rules of individual party members and cadres, and the expansion of selfish greed.
Guo Qicai told reporters that warning education must be strengthened and the ideological defense line must be strengthened.
The Fuzhou Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision has combined the promotion of the normalization and long-term effect of party history learning and education, and urged relevant departments in the city to adopt various forms of education on laws and regulations and honest employment, with positive and typical guidance and negative typical warning education, and continuously improve the number of practitioners in the grain-related field. In particular, the level of knowledge of party discipline, laws and regulations of party members and cadres guides party members and cadres to build a solid line of ideological defense against corruption and change.
The Commission for Disciplinary Inspection and Supervision of Suibin County, Heilongjiang Province played the role of warning and education in the typical case of Beishan Grain Depot, organized development and reform, food and other departments, and watched the trial of the main persons involved in the case in the form of video, deepening the case as a lesson, using "the person in the case" to alert " People around you".
The "Opinions" make it clear to urge and coordinate the responsible authorities to improve the system and mechanism, do a good job in the implementation of existing effective reform measures and system regulations, and play a rigid restraint role.
Promote and deepen the reform of the grain management system.
The Wuxi Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision put forward 15 suggestions for the reform of the grain circulation system and mechanism from the industry system level, promoted the establishment of Wuxi Grain Group, and restructured 5 grain-related enterprises owned by the whole people under the Municipal Grain and Material Reserve Bureau into municipal wholly state-owned enterprises. 105 rules and regulations have been established in production, storage, supply and sales.
"Adhere to centralized rectification, deepen reform, continue to promote the special rectification of corruption in the field of grain purchase and sales, and provide a strong guarantee for food safety." The responsible comrade of the Wuxi Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision said.
Hongfan eight politics, food is the head of politics.
The "Opinions" anchored the task of thoroughly punishing systemic corruption and issued a mobilization order.
Disciplinary inspection and supervision agencies at all levels must take the centralized rectification of corruption in the field of grain purchases and sales as an important task at present, maintain a high-pressure situation in investigating and handling cases, strengthen supervision and inspection in coordination with each other, and build a long-term mechanism with both investigation and construction. Perseverance, long-term success, and strong Disciplinary and legal supervision ensures food security.
