Therefore, the committee required the Government to clarifyreasons behind its assessment on positive changes in the situation and theforecast that corruption will reduce in 2018.
The committee also pointed out the low proportion ofverification of officials’ asset declarations with only 77 out of 1,113,422declarations being checked, or 0.007 percent, and three of which found to befalse.
In comparison, 414 declarations were checked in 2016 and1,225 in 2015.
Therefore, it requested the NA and the Government tocontinue improving regulations on declaring assets and incomes of those holdingposition and power, with clear punishment meted out for dishonesty.
The Judicial Committee also proposed that the Governmentconduct a general inspection of the appointment of officials nationwide inresponse to voters’ complaints about personnel work.
The Government’s report on anti-corruption submitted to theNA Standing Committee said the work has achieved certain deterrence effect andcreated positive changes, though without a real breakthrough.
