Party in Jiangsu cracks down on nepotism

Rules setting out dos and don'ts for personnel management were issued by the Party committee in Jiangsu province on Monday to demonstrate its determination to stamp out nepotism.

The rules prohibit the nomination as Party officials of members of social organizations such as hometown associations, alumni associations, co-workers clubs and comrade-in-arms societies.

They are the most severe measures adopted to prevent nepotism since the nationwide anti-graft campaign began in late 2012, the Party authority in the province said.
