While Nansong Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection was taking action intensively, the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection was not idle either.
Li Jiang, Secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, directly called several directors of the Discipline Inspection and Supervision Office and the Discipline Enforcement Review Office to talk to them one by one. No one knew what Li Jiang talked about with these people. However, after this conversation, the Environmental Protection Department of the Second Province of South China suddenly
Six Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection investigation teams were ushered in, and several deputy directors and directors almost each corresponded to an investigation team.
It can be said that in almost one day, more than 30 cadres at the deputy director level and above from the Provincial Environmental Protection Department were interviewed by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. This move directly set off a huge storm.
That evening, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee Qi Binghua made a phone call to Li Jiang directly: "Comrade Li Jiang, I heard that your Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection went into action today and directly sent six working groups to the Provincial Environmental Protection Department, which aroused the concern of many comrades in the Provincial Environmental Protection Department.
I am strongly disgusted. Isn’t this a little too much?”
Li Jiang's tone was calm: "Comrade Qi Binghua, I don't think there is anything wrong with this action of our Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection."
"But what you do will affect the normal work process of the Provincial Environmental Protection Department. I heard that many middle-level and high-level people are not in the mood to work now. Everyone is at risk. This is not necessary." Qi Binghua said with a frown.
Li Jiang smiled: "Comrade Qi Binghua, you may not know that, judging from the results of our interview today, the problems in the Provincial Environmental Protection Department are very serious. At least three deputy directors have serious economic problems, and at least eight
There are serious economic and other problems among department-level cadres. Comrade Qi Binghua, please rest assured that after the investigation results come out, our Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection will make a detailed report to the Provincial Party Committee.
We can guarantee that everyone investigated by our Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection will produce enough irrefutable evidence."
Qi Binghua frowned and said nothing more.
Later, Qi Binghua called Du Jinbo and told Du Jinbo the information fed back by Li Jiang.
Du Jinbo's face suddenly darkened, and he tapped his fingers lightly on the table and said, "What exactly does Li Jiang want to do?
Does he still want to communicate with Liu Haotian from afar?
Doesn't he know that before, the province asked the Environmental Protection Department to show favor to these chemical companies?
This is a provincial decision."
Qi Binghua shook his head with a wry smile: "Governor Du, I didn't pay much attention before. After I called Li Jiang just now, I did some research online and found that Liu Haotian and Li Jiang had crossed paths.
Li Jiang was once Liu Haotian's subordinate.
It's just that his development has been much smoother than Liu Haotian's over the years, and he has now become a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, while Liu Haotian is only the mayor of Nansong City, but the relationship between the two of them seems to be very good.
I now strongly suspect that Li Jiang’s decision to ask the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection to take action against the Provincial Environmental Protection Department was probably Liu Haotian’s instruction.”
Du Jinbo frowned: "How could this happen? Didn't Liu Haotian come alone? How could he fail to make arrangements in advance?"
Qi Binghua shook his head gently: "I feel that it is impossible to plan in advance.
Because when Li Jiang was transferred to our southern province, Fan Jianping had not yet gone to the party school to study.
So, this must be just a coincidence."
At this moment, Executive Vice Governor Tian Libin knocked on the door of Du Jinbo's office: "Governor Du, I just received news that in Nansong City, Wang Jucai, Secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, made wild remarks at the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, saying that
Tough adjustment measures will be taken against those Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection staff who do not perform their duties seriously.
Now, the entire Nansong City Discipline Inspection Commission is busy. The Nansong City Environmental Protection Bureau and the Taiping County Environmental Protection Bureau each have three working groups stationed there, each with at least 4 people.
It can be said that this time, the Nansong City Discipline Inspection Commission was almost mobilized to conduct an unprecedented special inspection of the Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau and the Taiping County Environmental Protection Bureau."
Du Jinbo's face became even more ugly: "Could it be that Wang Jucai is also Liu Haotian's man? Didn't he arrive a few months earlier than Liu Haotian? Could it be that Fan Jianping would make arrangements specifically for Liu Haotian? It's unlikely, right? It seems that he has not heard about Liu Haotian and Wang Jucai.
What’s the intersection between them?”
Tian Libin shook his head gently: "I'm not sure about this, but Wang Jucai suddenly conducted a large-scale investigation of the Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau and the Taiping County Environmental Protection Bureau at this time. It was obviously linked to Li Jiang, so I strongly suspect that Li Jiang and Wang Jucai
There is an ulterior and close connection between the three of them, and Liu Haotian."
Du Jinbo nodded slightly: "It seems that it is really possible.
Let’s observe first and see how Liu Haotian resolves this public opinion crisis. As long as we can clearly see the relationship between the three of them, we will have ways to deal with it in the future.”
Just two days later, the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection of the Second Southern Province announced at the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee a decision to take detention measures against the three deputy directors, as well as the current director of the Environmental Protection Department and eight division directors.
This move shocked the entire southern province.
At the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee meeting, Du Jinbo expressed strong dissatisfaction with this action by Li Jiang and the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. He believed that this move would disrupt the normal order of environmental protection work in the two southern provinces.
But Du Jinbo also made it very clear, are there any problems with these people?
have!
But we cannot knock them down at once. We must give some people whose problems are not very serious a chance to repent and make a new start.
Especially the division chiefs, they are the main force in the work of the Environmental Protection Department. If they are all taken down, the work of the Environmental Protection Department will come to a standstill.
However, Li Jiang took out all the files on the spot and pointed out clearly that each of these people must be given detention measures. Otherwise, where is the majesty of the law and where is the majesty of disciplinary inspection and supervision?
Because each of them was involved in serious illegal activities, and the least among them received more than 1 million in bribes.
What's more, because the deputy director just signed a casual signature and received 8 million yuan in benefits, Li Jiang slammed the table and asked: "For such people, can we give them a chance to repent?
Is it true that our southern province is short of people?
If there is a shortage of people, why are we constantly reducing our staff?
That's not the case at all!
It's not because our various agencies and units don't have enough staff, but because there aren't many people who are actually doing the work!
There are too many people who are careless and half-hearted!
And among those who work and have power, more than half of them have been wiped out by our Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection!
So, everyone, I think that when it comes to environmental issues, if we want to show a zero-tolerance attitude towards damaging environmental protection work, the first thing we need to do is not to formulate strict rules and regulations, but to clean up and rectify those that are not implemented at all or are indiscriminately
As a bureaucrat even inheritance deal!
Because they are the main force in implementing policies and the main force in cholera policy."
After Li Jiang finished speaking, the entire Standing Committee meeting room fell silent.
What Li Jiang said was very sharp, but also very reasonable.
It’s not that environmental protection laws, regulations and related policies are unsound, but that the people who implement these laws and regulations are always trying to find ways to help those who break the law wantonly break the law, or act as their protective umbrella.
This is the root of many problems.
However, many times, these problems are downplayed, and everyone focuses more on those companies that violate laws and regulations.
Now, Li Jiang has punctured the poisonous sac, and Fan Jianping nodded slightly: "Comrade Li Jiang said very well, I agree.
As long as these files from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection have solid evidence, no matter who is involved or what background the other party has, they must not be allowed to pass!
Comrade Li Jiang is right. Not only our provincial Environmental Protection Department, but also any unit in our southern provinces cannot operate normally without any one person or even half of the people.
To put it bluntly, reducing the existing establishment by 1/3 can still ensure that relevant agencies and units continue to operate normally.
Therefore, no matter who he is, as long as he violates laws and disciplines, he must accept legal justice."
With Fan Jianping directly setting the tone, the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee quickly reached a consensus.
Although Du Jinbo was very dissatisfied with this, facing the tough Li Jiang, he did not want to offend Li Jiang too deeply.
Otherwise it will be troublesome in the future.
Therefore, Du Jinbo chose to be patient when facing Li Jiang, and finally agreed to his disposal plan.
At the same time, in the Nansong Municipal Party Committee compound 2 kilometers away from the Provincial Party Committee compound, the Nansong Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee was much more intense than the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee.
After Zhang Wangjucai distributed the materials to everyone, when he told the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection's handling opinions, Chen Jinwen, deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, went into a rage.
Chen Jinwen said directly with a cold face: "Comrade Wang Jucai, I think the handling measures taken by your Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection this time are too hasty and reckless.
Let me start with 3 reasons:
First, this time we are arrogant about the environmental impact assessment of these dozens of chemical companies. This is not only our city's policy, but also the provincial policy. Although the Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau is arrogant, it cannot shirk all responsibilities.
To them, it's irresponsible.
Second, we, the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, are all aware of this high-handedness, and we cannot allow the Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau and the County Environmental Protection Bureau to take the blame.
Third, I understand that you, as the Secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, have just taken office and you want to set the new official on fire, but your fire is a bit too much.
You have almost wiped out all the deputy directors of the Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau, and you have captured 70% of the middle-level cadres. How do you want the Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau to run in the future? Where can you find so many cadres to promote? How many positions will be vacant? Who will be there?
To maintain the normal operation of the Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau?
Your Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection has brought them all down, and you are now prosperous and have achieved political achievements, but who will dare to work in the Environmental Protection Bureau in the future?"
