Breaking News – Experts Suggest New Regulation To Stop Corruption
Recently, a group of scholars and retired cadres have written to the National People’s Congress and the National Committee, urging them to establish a “Regulation of Announcement on the Declaration of Properties of Public Officers of County-Division Level and Above”, in order to resist the trend of rampant corruption.
Li Chengrui, former Direct General for the National Bureau of Statistics and Gong Xiantian, Law Professor of Beijing University drafted the proposal and indicated that the phenomena of corruption has become more and more severe in the past 20 years. At present, the “trading of power and money” and unscrupulous merchants and officers corruption collectively exist in a large number.
The proposal also claimed that the regulation on declaration of income in 1995 were only on personal income, not on family properties; only on labour income, not on non-labour income; and only reported in the internal report, not announced to the public. Another regulation about reporting on family properties for provincial and ministerial level officials issued in 2001 did not provide information open to public.
Officials themselves and their family members including married children’s families were also embraced for the declaration in the proposal.
Li Chengrui, the founder of the proposal evaluating the authorities’ act on anti-corruption says that there is more fighting and the more corruption these days.
