Mr. Phong emphasized that effective control of assets and incomes is a crucial measure in preventing corruption and negative influences.
In accordance with the 2018 Law on Corruption Prevention, the Government’s Decree 130/2020 on controlling the assets and incomes of persons holding positions of power in agencies, organizations, and units, and the coordination regulations between asset control agencies issued in Decision 56/2022 by the Politburo, these measures are being implemented.
To tighten regulations on asset declaration and strengthen anti-corruption efforts, the Prime Minister approved Decision 390/2022 on the project “Building a National Database on Asset and Income Control.” This database is a vital tool in modernizing and digitizing asset and income control work in the fight against corruption.
Additionally, information technology infrastructure, processes, and regulations are being established to systematize, update, store, protect, and provide accurate, complete, and timely information on asset declarations, verification conclusions, and related data.
According to Mr. Phong, the Government Inspectorate is diligently working on the tasks outlined in Decision 390 and constructing a national database for asset and income control.
In the first half of 2024, 282,826 people declared their assets and incomes. Additionally, 2,518 people were subject to verification of their asset and income declarations, and four individuals were disciplined for making untruthful declarations.
