Military generals under fireRegarding the Standing Board of the Party Committee of the Air Defense-Air Force under the Ministry of Defense, the Inspection Commission said the board had violated the principles of centralized democracy and working rules, slackened the leadership and management, and neglected supervision, thus resulting in many law violations and mistakes in the management and use of land designated for defense purpose.
The commission concluded that Senior Lieutenant General Phuong Minh Hoa, former member of the Party Central Committee, former Vice Director of the Vietnam People’s Army’s General Department of Politics, must bear the main responsibility for the violations and mistakes of the Standing Board during the 2010-2015 tenure as he served as Secretary of the Party Committee, Political Commissar and Vice Secretary of the Party Committee of the Air Defense-Air Force Command. Hoa himself signed a number of documents allowing the use of land for economic purpose in violation of regulations.
Lieutenant General Nguyen Van Thanh, former Party Secretary and former Political Commissar of the Air Defense-Air Force, must bear the responsibility as the top leader for the violations and mistakes of the Standing Board during the 2010-2015 tenure. He was responsible for the approval of a list of beneficiaries of the army’s policy on housing and residential land which included some ineligible persons.
The violations of regulations committed by the Standing Board of the Party Committee of the Air Defense-Air Force (2010-2015 tenure) and by Sen. Lt. Gen. Phuong Minh Hoa and Lt. Gen. Nguyen Van Thanh are serious, affecting the prestige of the Party and the army, and calling for disciplinary measures in accordance with the Party’s regulations.
