Party urges public participation in fight against corruption
Every Party and government organisation, the Lao Front for National Construction and other mass organisations, the mass media and the general public must actively combat autocracy and join the fight against corruption. This was the call from the Party Central Committee to people across the nation, who were asked to participate in taking action against misconduct by Party and government officials. The Party Central Committee on January 13 issued Resolution No. 22 on combating autocracy and corruption. In the Resolution, the Party acknowledged that unregulated and ineffective use of resources, combined with weaknesses in planning and budget management, public debt, human resource development and personnel promotion that violated the Party’s fundamental guiding principles, were related to an increasing number of autocratic incidents and corruption.
