Le Minh Chuan, chairman of the state-run Vietnam Coal and Minerals Group (Vinacomin), was disciplined by the Prime Minister Tuesday for violations in his performance of duties.
Previously, in June, the Party Central Inspection Committee took disciplinary action against Chuan, 57, chief of Vinacomin’s Party Committee and chairman of the group; Dang Thanh Hai, deputy chief of the Party committee and general director; and Nguyen Ngoc Co, deputy general director for their work-related violations.
The inspection committee concluded that the standing board of Vinacomin’s Party Committee had violated the principle of democratic centralism and working regulations, lacked responsibility, and showed loose leadership, direction and supervision.
“As a result, the group’s council of members and leaders violated the Party’s regulations and the State laws in production, business, and project investment, as well as coal mining and management in Quang Ninh province. Many cadres and Party members were disciplined, while some faced criminal charges.”
The inspectors determined that the above-mentioned violations “have caused serious consequences, adversely affecting Vinacomin’s production and business results, as well as the reputation of Party organizations and the group.”
