According to the Report on Emulation Movements launched by the Government Inspectorate over the past five years (2021-2025), under the leadership of the Central Steering Committee on Anti-Corruption, Waste, and Negativity, and the decisive direction of the Government and the Prime Minister, the fight against corruption, negativity, and waste has been comprehensively implemented by the Government Inspectorate with the spirit of “no forbidden zones, no exceptions.”
As a result, inspection, examination, audit, investigation, prosecution, and adjudication agencies have proactively coordinated more regularly, closely, and effectively. Focused on unannounced inspections in areas prone to negativity and corruption, significant progress has been made in anti-corruption efforts.
Notably, cases with signs of corruption detected by inspection and audit agencies have been prosecuted and investigated in accordance with the law.
From 2021 to 2025, a total of 352 corruption cases involving 531 individuals were uncovered. Of these, internal audits identified 93 cases with 102 individuals; inspections and examinations revealed 162 cases with 297 individuals; and through complaint resolution, 97 cases involving 132 individuals related to corruption were detected.
The results of inspection and anti-corruption efforts over the past five years demonstrate a significant shift. Many serious and complex corruption cases have been uncovered, investigated, and strictly handled, serving as a deterrent, gradually curbing corrupt behavior, and recovering illicit assets.
Inspection activities have been conducted with clear focus and priorities, meeting state management and socio-economic development requirements. Simultaneously, inspections of leaders’ responsibilities in fulfilling assigned tasks have been strengthened, concentrating on sectors, fields, and localities with numerous violations, negativity, and corruption. Projects and works with delayed progress, prolonged backlogs, low efficiency, and significant losses have been addressed with decisive mechanisms and policies.
The Government Inspectorate and the Ministry of Finance have reviewed over 2,800 investment projects facing difficulties, bottlenecks, and prolonged backlogs, proposing their inclusion under the Central Steering Committee’s monitoring and guidance.
Additionally, the Government Inspectorate continues to enhance the quality of inspection conclusions, strengthen inspections, and urge the implementation of inspection conclusions; strictly and lawfully handling violating collectives and individuals.
