Chapter 542 Establishing an Integrity Account Three Updates
"I have plans to try to set up an anti-corruption account in Longcheng City," Ye Kai said.
"Integrity account?" Qin Fangchen was really interested after hearing this, "What is that?"
"It's just an anti-corruption method, focusing on resisting bribery." Ye Kai explained.
The so-called integrity account is a special account for party members and cadres to be honest and self-disciplined. It is designed to allow leading party members and cadres to promote their own integrity and self-discipline and save party members and cadres on the verge of committing crimes by handing over cash and securities they have received that cannot be returned or are inconvenient to return.
"After the establishment of the clean government account, if the amount is deposited or handed over, after verification, it is recommended that the relevant departments be exempted or mitigated and dealt with leniently depending on the circumstances. Cash and securities, payment vouchers, gifts, etc. received after the establishment of the clean government account
, those who deposit or hand it over in full and in a timely manner will be deemed to have actively refused bribery and will not be held responsible." Ye Kai introduced his thoughts to Qin Fangchen.
"It sounds interesting, but it seems that this matter is not easy to handle." After Qin Fangchen heard this, he began to think about it.
The work of the Discipline Inspection Commission has always been carried out in a relatively low-key manner. It is indeed difficult to actively promote changes in a system.
Especially in recent years, the domestic economy has developed rapidly, and corruption by officials using their power has become more and more common. In view of this, the central government has also been continuously launching some plans to punish corruption. However, overall, the results have not been
Very little.
The current situation is that there are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom. If you can develop 10,000 policies, they can develop 20,000 countermeasures. The power of corruption is constantly growing, and high-level officials are also deeply worried.
"The recent situation is more complicated. With the rapid development of the economy, there are more and more cases of businessmen corrupting cadres. Some people really want to be corrupt, while others are dragged into the water, so there is still a certain market for this integrity account.
"Yes." Ye Kai said, "Secretary Lin of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection will definitely not be able to implement this policy, and even the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection will not be able to promote it rashly, so it should be more appropriate for the Longcheng City Commission for Discipline Inspection to try it out.
.”
After hearing this, Secretary Qin Fangchen pondered for a moment and nodded.
He felt that Ye Kai's idea made some sense.
Among the anti-corruption measures introduced in various places over the years, some are indeed not practical and targeted, and are formalistic, while some are a waste of money and people. They are the kind of work that follows the trend and adapts to the situation, lacking vitality and effectiveness. Some even become a certain
The performance projects carried out by some officials to gain political capital not only fail to play an anti-corruption role, but also cause dissatisfaction among the masses.
On the other hand, many people are eager to completely eradicate corruption.
They believe that to fundamentally control corruption, we can only rely on strict supervision and management mechanisms, fair and open administrative methods and severe punishment and punishment measures. In addition, the so-called anti-corruption formula of visits, oaths and wife supervision
.No new measures can fundamentally solve the problem.
The common people always have mixed feelings about new anti-corruption measures, and they fantasize about having a panacea that can quickly and completely uproot all corruption phenomena and eliminate them completely.
From the bottom of his heart, Qin Fangchen didn't really agree with Ye Kai's proposal to set up a clean government account.
He felt that these things sounded reasonable, but it was indeed difficult to implement them.
Because in his opinion, some anti-corruption measures are indeed flashy and unrealistic, and the public's urgency towards anti-corruption is understandable.
However, from another perspective, we should still give full tolerance and support to those new anti-corruption measures that are positive and have practical effects, and cannot be beaten to death with a stick.
Therefore, Qin Fangchen still holds a positive attitude towards Ye Kai's idea. Young people naturally need more encouragement.
"Corruption is one of the world's problems. Our country's anti-corruption and promotion of integrity is also a systematic project. Although it fundamentally depends on system construction, judging from the current situation, it still depends on education, system, and supervision.
No one can be left behind." Secretary Qin Fangchen considered and said to Ye Kai, "Whether a system is feasible and effective depends on practice. Whether an education and supervision method is feasible and effective also depends on practice.
Check. Although the concept of the clean government account you proposed has insufficient legal basis, it should still play a certain positive role in the practice of local corruption prevention and control. If it is used in conjunction with a special centralized rectification at a certain stage
, the positive effects must be greater than the negative effects.”
Ye Kai listened and nodded. He thought what Qin Fangchen said was very reasonable, at least the theoretical level was relatively high.
In fact, many local cadres in the province still have a pragmatic style. Although there are a few cadres who rely on flattery to get the job, overall, at least during this period, there are more cadres who have the courage to do their jobs and are corrupt.
The proportion is also relatively small, far less common than later.
"Actually, many things are just habits that come naturally, and the same is true for corruption." Ye Kai thought of certain things and said to Qin Fangchen with some emotion, "Just like celebrating the Spring Festival, coming to pay New Year's greetings to the leaders.
, is also an old tradition. If you want to visit someone’s home, you’d be embarrassed to go empty-handed, so the Chinese talk about reciprocity, but relatively speaking, the number of leaders must be smaller than the masses, so this creates an asymmetry. Then,
It’s a relationship between surplus and deficit, and this is how ** came about.”
Moreover, during this period, everyone's methods of giving gifts are relatively simple and extensive. Many leading cadres refuse to accept gifts and red envelopes, but they can't handle the large number of people who come to the door. Many people even wrap money and items in other things and stuff them with notes.
Just throw it in the leader's yard.
There are many such things, so it is wrong to say that the root cause of corruption lies entirely in leadership. At least many people do not give gifts and will not develop this bad habit. Once the bad habit becomes an unspoken rule, then the entire society will
He was led astray.
"You are right." Qin Fangchen laughed and pointed at the old wild ginseng that Ye Kai gave him, "Just like this thing, do you think I should accept it or not?"
Ye Kai also laughed, and then he said, "So I said it is necessary to set up this clean government account."
Of course, Qin Fangchen wouldn't mind accepting some gifts from him. Although this thing is said to be of relatively high value, if it is taken as medicine, it is just that. If you don't go through the market, the value of ginseng and radish is about the same.
It's just that one is to replenish vitality, and the other is to clear the intestines and relieve fire.
Although Ye Kai proposed the idea of setting up an anti-corruption account, he was not completely sure about how to use this method.
I remember that the launch of the anti-corruption account was seven or eight years later than Ye Kai proposed. In practice, the effect was not very good, and it even became a laughing stock for a time.
At first, the people were very surprised by this. They thought that the disciplinary inspection department had created a good way to fight corruption and promote integrity. It served as a good warning to party members and cadres, especially to party members and leading cadres, and opened the door for the integrity and self-discipline of party members and leading cadres.
Another passage.
This is also the case. Many cadres who are diligent and honest in government pay the gifts, including bribes, they receive into the integrity account on their own initiative, consciously or after ideological struggle during traditional festivals such as the New Year, Spring Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival.
For a time, money continued to enter the account set up by the local government.
But as time went by, this account gradually fell into neglect.
The reason is that although the gifts and bribes were paid, firstly, they were not signed, and the amount paid was completely determined by conscience; secondly, no one checked and could not check, so the effect was not shown. Thirdly, who paid and who failed to pay or
If you don't pay, the disciplinary inspection unit won't count it. Over time, the person who paid will be exposed as the giver and recipient of the gift.
What is even more embarrassing is that the official who is to receive the gift may have his secretary or official wife pay the money into the integrity account, which not only causes trouble but also increases the risk.
In short, the establishment of anti-corruption accounts did not play the expected role in anti-corruption.
In fact, there were very few corrupt officials at that time who would pay bribes to avoid causing trouble or engaging in corruption.
Judging from the situation of corrupt officials who later came to light, some used their anti-corruption accounts to collect more and pay less, pretending to be honest and honest, and making money. Corrupt officials became upright officials and did not accept gifts or bribes. In fact, they used blatant small bribes to secretaries and other subordinates.
Go and hand over the anti-corruption account, and conduct publicity and praise, publicizing that a certain leader is unwavering in the face of money, handles official business, and pays any amount of gift money.
In fact, these are just superficial, serious large amounts of money, and they are definitely swallowed up in one gulp.
Qin Fangchen and Ye Kai discussed this issue for a long time.
"The Spring Festival is coming soon. If your Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection moves quickly enough, this year's integrity account can still become a new highlight in the discipline inspection and supervision work." Qin Fangchen said to Ye Kai, "But if you want to do it, you have to
Think more fully, at least it must be effective, and the details must be taken into consideration, so as not to become another laughing stock among the people."
Ye Kai still listened to Qin Fangchen's warning. After all, as the leader of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, his words were sincere and he sincerely considered Ye Kai's future. This favor should be followed by Ye Kai.
But as Qin Fangchen said, if this thing is done well, it will really cause a sensation across the country. Although we are not in the Internet age with smooth information, various media are already relatively sound, and the old Ye family
Due to the strong influence of the publicity system, or during this year’s Spring Festival, Longcheng City’s Discipline Inspection Commission has become a highlight.
"Secretary Qin's instructions are very important. We will handle this matter well. I hope that this year's Spring Festival for Longcheng cadres will be a peaceful and clean Spring Festival," Ye Kai said.
"Yeah." Qin Fangchen nodded and picked up the tea cup.
After drinking some wine and not feeling very well, I finally caught up with the third watch.
