What is behind luxurious office buildings ought to be corrected

A grand nine-story office building under construction in Jianshi county in East China's Hubei province, has provoked an online uproar, because it was reportedly designed to accommodate about 40 local officials at the cost of over 23 million yuan ($3.7 million). Many more over-sized office buildings have also been found in the nationally designated poor county. Comments:

The sumptuous office building in Jianshi county, which has not only squandered large sums of public money, but also cost the local government its credibility, can be seen as total disregard for the central government's regulations on the spending of public money. Therefore, all relevant officials should be held accountable despite the use of the property being readjusted.
