— vov.vnHÀ NỘI — The revised draft Law on Anti-Corruption proposes removing annual declarations for public employees and replacing it with an initial declaration and supplementary declaration, Nguyễn Văn Thanh, Deputy Chief Inspector of the Government Inspectorate said. The draft law aims to account for public employees’ properties and income when hiring them or promoting them. "We want people public employees to be transparent," he said at a conference on Thursday where lawyers discussed the draft. According to Thanh, the draft law has a separate chapter with many new, substantial provisions on the issue. Only 17 cases of fraud in property declarations have been detected since the Anti-Corruption Law was enacted in 2006, according to the Government Inspectorate.
