According to Vu Thanh Son, deputy head of the Personnel Training Department under the Party Central Committee’s Organisation Commission, work on the draft regulations on the responsibility for setting example of Party members and officials started at the beginning of this year.

Son said the draft regulations emphasized the role of Politburo members, members of the Party Central Committee’s Secretariat and the Party Central Committee. 

Answering a query on handling the responsibility of several Party members involved in the case regarding MobiFone’s purchase of 95 percent of the shares of AVG Audiovisual JSC, deputy chief of the Party Central Committee Office Le Quang Vinh stated that the discipline of former members of the Party Central Committee and members of the Party Central Committee who hold high positions must be considered and decided by the Party Central Committee.
