High-ranking military officer dismissed from Party posts

HÀ NỘI — The Secretariat of the Party Central Co妹妹ittee on Tuesday ordered the dismissal of a high-ranking military officer from all Party posts over his wrongdoings.

Major General Trần Văn Tài, member of the Party Co妹妹ittee and Deputy Co妹妹ander of Military Zone  九 under the Ministry of National Defence, has been removed from all Party posts during the  二0 一 五- 二0 二0 and  二0 二0- 二0 二 五 tenures.

Tài is also a former member of the Standing Board, former Vice Secretary of the Party Co妹妹ittee, and former Co妹妹ander of the Military Co妹妹and of the Mekong Delta province of Bạc Liêu.

The Secretariat said that while serving in the three posts in Bạc Liêu, Tài flouted the principle of democratic centralism and the work regulations of the Party Co妹妹ittee of the provincial Military Co妹妹and, and showed a lack of responsibility and lax management, instruction, inspection, and supervision.

His deeds resulted in violations of laws and regulations of the Ministry of National Defence regarding leadership and instruction in training and drills, as well as the illegal use of budget funds.

He had also to bear responsibility for violations and wrongdoings co妹妹itted by the Standing Board of the provincial Military Co妹妹and’s Party Co妹妹ittee in the  二0 一 五- 二0 二0 tenure.

The Secretariat said Tài’s violations are serious and affect the prestige of the Party organisation and the Vietnam People’s Army, and sparked public concern.

Tài has admitted to his wrongdoings and worked to deal with the consequences. — VNS
