According to the head of theGovernment Inspectorate, “comprehensive inspections” have been conducted in allareas lying within State management, with a focus on “problematic andcontroversial cases” that received extensive public attention.
These efforts have helpedreinforce rule of law and ensure social and legal order, he added.
His office, together withprovinces and ministries, has been committed to directing quick settlements ofcomplaints and denunciations, with due attention paid to long-standing ones.
However, the GovernmentInspectorate has found numerous cases that continue to pose potential threatsto social order and political stability, especially with religious andpolitical elements, the meeting heard.

The Deputy PM asked ministriesand localities to strictly follow through on the central-level guidelines andplans, abide by Prime Minister’s orders in improving inspection works ofenterprises, and ensure that every step of the inspections and drawing ofconclusions is “done transparently, objectively, with clarity on the scale ofviolation and damages caused.”
Deputy PM Binh also stressed theneed for follow-up inspections to see whether the violators have correctedthemselves after inspection verdicts are handed down.
