After 70,000 inspections in the first eight months of this year, inspectors had found illegal acts involving more than VND 4.5 trillion (USD 216 million) and 1,972 hectares of land, said Government Inspector General Huynh Phong Tranh at a working session on September 20.
Government inspectors dealt with 78 complaints and denunciations while relevant agencies throughout the nation dealt with more than 31,000.
Speaking at the session, Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc asked inspectors to concentrate on implementing the amended inspection law and increase the role of inspectors in preventing and fighting corruption in line with the United Nations Convention Against Corruption.
He also urged inspectors to work with agencies to make sure units and individuals subject to criticism abide by inspection conclusions.-
