VIII. Keeping the Government Strictly in Line and Making Greater Efforts
to Develop the Government Itself
The government should be strict with itself in carrying out its official duties in accordance with the law and try to be honest, diligent, pragmatic and efficient. We must intensify our efforts to improve our political and ideological competence and work style, formulate essential rules and regulations and carry out institutional restructuring, concentrating on the following tasks.
Greater efforts should be made to fight corruption and build a clean and honest government. Our government is a people's government. Honesty in the performance of official duties is the minimum requirement for governments at all levels. All government functionaries should serve the people wholeheartedly and must be clean and honest. Over the past few years we have made notable achievements in fighting corruption and building a clean and honest government, but we still fall far short of what the central authorities require of us and what the people expect of us. Fighting corruption is still a tough task. We must take more effective measures and make unremitting efforts to fight corruption and build a clean and honest government. First, we should continue to strictly follow the Code of Conduct for Building a Clean and Honest Government and other regulations formulated by the CPC Central Committee and work hard to ensure that leading cadres are clean, honest and self-disciplined. Government functionaries at all levels must observe relevant regulations and laws and, in particular, leading cadres should stay clean and honest and self-disciplined and be sure that their relatives and office staff do the same. The regulations prohibiting leading cadres from illegally taking advantage of their power and position in the interests of their spouses or children must be strictly implemented. When this kind of case occurs, the leading cadres and other people involved in the case must be held responsible. Second, we must strictly investigate and prosecute all types of cases involving violation of laws and regulations, concentrating particularly on major cases. We should focus on cases in which government departments at all levels or leading cadres at and above the county level are involved in violation of laws and codes of conduct, and make greater efforts to deal with cases involving violations of laws and codes of conduct in banking, securities, construction projects, approval for land leasing and subleasing and material purchases. We should also carefully investigate and prosecute cases involving senior managerial staff in state-owned enterprises who violate laws or codes of conduct and cause huge losses of state assets. All major cases, no matter which department or who is involved, must be thoroughly investigated, and corrupt officials must be severely punished. Third, we should continue to vigorously work to correct unhealthy tendencies in government departments and industries. We should focus on solving outstanding problems of great concern to the general public. Supervision needs to be strengthened to ensure that laws and codes of conduct are strictly enforced. Reform of the administration and management system should be deepened to strengthen supervision and restraint mechanisms. We should implement the government procurement system, accountant assignment system and auditing system for determining the economic responsibility of leading cadres below the county level. Efforts to prevent and control corruption at the source should be strengthened. We should earnestly work to implement the leading cadre responsibility system for building a clean government.
We must practice strict economy and combat extravagance and waste. In the present changing circumstances, we should continue to carry forward our fine tradition of building the country and handling all affairs through diligence and frugality. Governments and functionaries at all levels must have an awareness of hardship and maintain a sense of frugality, always keeping in mind the interests of the country and the people. We must resolutely put an end to the extravagance, waste and squandering seen in some areas, departments and institutions. Governments at all levels should continue to implement relevant regulations to curb expansion or construction of office buildings, not allowing any new luxury building projects to be launched. Departments under the State Council should play an exemplary role in this regard. Cases of misuse of public funds and institutional spending in violation of relevant regulations must be strictly investigated and prosecuted. Government officials travel, entertain and dine in a luxurious style at public expenses in the name of all sorts of invented activities such as "festival" celebrations, ribbon-cutting ceremonies and standards inspections. This wastes money and manpower and arouses the indignation of the people. Such practices must be resolutely stopped.
We should further transform the functions of the government and carry forward reform of government institutions. Departments under the State Council should consolidate the results of institutional reform. Local governments should intensify their institutional reform in line with the arrangements and requirements of the central authorities. We should streamline our administration and establish a highly-efficient, well-coordinated and standardized administrative system and operating mechanism through reform. Government institutions should perform their duties in strict accordance with the limits of authority and procedures as prescribed by law, and institute and improve a system of work responsibility. We should strengthen publicity and education about law. According to the requirements set by the CPC Central Committee, all the departments under the State Council and governments at provincial and prefectural levels should consolidate their achievements in the education about the importance of studying, being political-minded and being honest and upright. Rectification measures should be implemented in earnest. In addition, this education should be carefully carried out at the county level. Governments and government functionaries at all levels should bear in mind that they are servants of the people. They should maintain close ties with the masses, listen to their opinions and show concern for their weal and woe. We should especially show our concern these days for those who are experiencing difficulties in their life and do everything possible to help them overcome their difficulties. We should continue to improve and exercise a civil service system and enhance the political integrity and professional competence of public servants.
Governments at all levels must conscientiously subject themselves to the supervision of the people's congresses at the corresponding levels and their standing committees, take the initiative to strengthen contacts with the committees of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference at all levels, and earnestly listen to the views of the democratic parties, federations of industry and commerce, prominent persons without party affiliation and mass organizations. We should make government affairs public, encourage people to exercise supervision over the work of the government and its functionaries in accordance with the
