Chapter 661: Building a Clean Government
The opening of the era of large industry has allowed China to enter a period of industrial prosperity.
But it is clear that this will also bring some social problems!
Among them, the most typical, and also the most concerned by Wang Hengyue, and at the same time, the problem that cannot be avoided by any country in this period is the problem of officials.
Whether it is in China, the United States, the United Kingdom, or any country in the world, once the era of industrial prosperity begins, officials will face it.
Even compared with Chinese officials, who are still holding the pipa and half-covering their faces, the United States in the era of big industry, the corruption, **, and depravity of officials are far better than that of Chinese officialdom. They are completely naked and unbridled in showing their greed for money.
Even the president of the United States is no exception
Problems are not terrible, the key depends on how to solve and deal with them.
Wang Hengyue also knows very well that it is almost impossible to completely eliminate the corruption in officialdom. I can only control and prevent this kind of thing from happening to the greatest extent.
If the killing could kill everything, Wang Hengyue might have already started to kill! Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty killed so many corrupt officials, but instead of killing them, the corrupt officials killed more and more, and later, they simply went forward and followed.
The establishment of a complete set of systems is the most important thing.
To this end, in addition to the "Independent Commission Against Corruption" and the "Supervision Office", Wang Hengyue also established a Ethics Bureau, and officially issued the "Code of Ethical Conduct for Administrative Officials" in February of the 10th year of the Republic of China.
In this comprehensive and detailed Guidelines, not only must all government officials in the country comply, but all other private sector or enterprises that have dealings with the government must be familiar with and carefully observed.
The Ethics Department is also responsible for checking the annual property declarations of all government employees, mainly senior officials. The Ethics Department also provides free training and legal advice to government employees on ethics and political conduct. All provincial and municipal governments have corresponding special agencies responsible for guiding, protecting, and supervising the political conduct of government employees.
Wang Hengyue believes that openness and transparency in government affairs is also a very important prerequisite. Wang Hengyue even said in front of all senior officials:
"The non-disclosure of government affairs does not necessarily produce **, but the ** government affairs must be caused by opacity"
Therefore, in addition to military, diplomatic and personnel files involving individuals, this is the president of the Republic of China, and even mandatory provisions, all government affairs, records, documents and archives from the government to the provincial and municipal governments are open and transparent, and anyone, including media reporters, can access them at any time.
All government employees' files must be kept. for public access at any time. All government affairs activities must be announced in advance, all public affairs should be studied, and all policies should be formulated, and every ordinary citizen can observe and have the right to ask questions, and the departments concerned and the responsible persons concerned must give answers on the spot.
Every government employee, especially senior officials, is required to complete an annual return of personal assets, which is public and accessible to anyone at any time.
The pressure on this initiative at the beginning of the announcement was enormous.
The protection of ** by Chinese can be said to be the most important in the world. This is especially true of officials. Once you tell someone how much money you have, what is it like? Doesn't this mean exposing yourself to everyone?
But this decision is non-negotiable!
You can not be this officer. But now that you're in this position, you have to be transparent about your assets!
Wang Hengyue was the first to announce his property, of course, the president played his usual "cunning", perhaps he had been preparing for this day a long time ago, so most of his property. Copper mines, coal mines, gold mines, companies, factories, stocks, etc., are not directly owned by him. …,
Of course, it does not include Kolchak gold that will shock the world once it is made public, and the astronomical figures:
Three hundred and eighty tons, worth six billion dollars in gold!
The "cunning" of the great president cannot be blamed for this. Because in Wang Hengyue's view, everything he has belongs to this country and all the people. I'm just keeping it for myself!
There is nothing to blame him, the vast majority of the funds for the development and upgrading of China's military, including the air force, navy, and army equipment are directly provided by Wang Hengyue.
It can even be said that the new-style squadron was almost created by Wang Hengyue's own strength, without passing the state finance.
This is also a heavy financial burden for the state finances.
Even including national infrastructure, economic development funds, etc., Wang Hengyue also bears a large part.
Hence in the declaration of personal property. Wang Hengyue's personal and family assets totaled 9 million Chinese yuan, including department stores owned by his wife, Ma Yunxin, and others.
The Great President began. The officials below had nothing to say, and the only thing they could do was obey
Of course. The assets declared by the officials were both true and false, and some deliberately concealed most of them. But the government has a special investigation agency, once it is found that you deliberately concealed the declaration, then in addition to being dismissed, there is also a joint review by the "Independent Commission Against Corruption" and the "Inspectorate General"!
The improvement of the system is also something that Wang Hengyue attaches great importance to.
He personally participated in the development of a complete set of relevant laws and regulations to prevent malpractice and corruption among government employees.
The first of these is to prevent personal fraud and corruption, the "Conflict of Interest Law", "Personal Property Declaration Law", "Case Review and Avoidance Law", "Public Servant Service Law", "Job Rotation System" and so on have been formulated.
In order to prevent organized malpractice and corruption, a large number of relevant laws and regulations have also been enacted, such as the "Public Meeting Law", "National Participation Law", "Urban Planning and Land Use Law", "Public Consultation Law", "Media and Civil Society Supervision Law", etc.
Of course, the formulation of laws and regulations alone is not all, and supporting policies will also play a great role.
Wang Hengyue's government not only has a set of strict laws, regulations and institutional systems for prevention, but also has a supporting policy system to adapt to it, especially the three major treatments of high salary, retirement and medical care to support integrity.
Wang Hengyue's purpose is not to arrest as many officials as he wants to arrest and kill as many officials, but to make government employees not only dare not **, but also can't**, unwilling, and unnecessary.
Now that the era of cutting off a number of corrupt officials at every turn has passed, the most important thing is to improve the system and guarantee.
Of course, Wang Hengyue has the right and ability to cut off the heads of a large number of corrupt officials, but he is not willing to choose this method completely.
He wants to leave his successor a complete set of systems that are guaranteed and trusted by the people! And it has been passed down for a long time.
Wang Hengyue's salary and welfare level of government employees are relatively high, and they belong to the middle and upper level in society, with no food and clothing, sound security, basically no living pressure, and a normal system and mechanism for promotion and pension retirement. In the event of the death of a government employee after retirement, the spouse can inherit the pension until his or her death as long as he or she does not remarry or remarry.
And the pension increases as the living index rises.
As long as you abide by the law, work hard, and retire normally, you and your family will have no problems in living and providing for the elderly. However, if a government employee commits crimes such as abuse of power, dereliction of duty, abuse of power for personal gain, bribery, corruption, etc., all his benefits, retirement pension and insurance will be lost, and he will never be employed by the government again, and it will be difficult for him to find decent jobs in other industries. As soon as there is a stain on the government officials, they immediately lose their jobs. …,
Therefore, the vast majority of government employees will not take the risk of engaging in **, and almost all of them think that the cost of engaging in ** is too high, the cost is too great, it is unnecessary, and it is extremely worthless.
On this basis, supervision becomes a very important issue.
Wang Hengyue has formulated a set of strict and effective supervision mechanisms, government employees can not and cannot be the first to do, once there is a ** behavior, the possibility of exposing the case is very high, and it is difficult to get away with it.
Wang Hengyue's anti-corruption and anti-corruption social supervision mechanism is divided into multi-polar supervision, mutual supervision, law prevailing, and judicial independence!
The first is tax law monitoring. Every citizen, including government officials, must file a tax return to the tax bureau every year, the tax return must be kept for three years, and the audit is valid for three years, and the salary of government employees is directly deposited into the bank account, which is reported by the bank to the tax bureau, and the tax bureau has a detailed record of each person's annual income and tax payment, and it can be made public.
The second is the supervision of laws and regulations.
Strictly govern the country according to law, and everything is based on the law!
The law stipulates that bribery is the same crime as accepting bribes, and the bribe-giver is sentenced first, and then the bribe-giver is sentenced, which has a great deterrent effect on the bribe-giver. Bribery includes hidden bribery, and the regulations are relatively detailed. The punishment is public, and the media tracks and reports it
At the end of this series of provisions, there is the independent profession.
The supervisory organs of governments at all levels and departments are relatively independent, and the staff members are of high professional quality, which has laid a good organizational foundation for the development of supervision work.
For example, the Ethics Department is a professional department independent of other administrative departments.
The staff of the Ethics Department are basically experts in American civil law. The Ethics Department is composed of 1 consultant and 6 lawyers, all of whom are voluntary and part-time staff who can only be elected once and remain independent of government departments. The staff of the Commission are civil servants who are merely implementers of the Commission's decisions.
Wang Hengyue formulated this series of rules and regulations, in order to prevent all possible **, to give the people the cleanest and most honest government.
It's not terrible to appear, but it's terrible that there is no complete set of perfect legal systems to restrain supervision!
And Wang Hengyue is undoubtedly working hard towards a clean and honest government, but he will never stop!
