Incompetent, negligent or derelict officials in Shaanxi Province will be
expected to quit.
A new regulation in the Northwest Chinese province, titled Suggestions on
Deepening Reforms to the Official Personnel System, aims to improve government
services by increasing accountability.
The regulation puts the onus on leading government officials to hand in their
resignations in 10 specific circumstances, said Li Mincang, deputy director of
the Shaanxi Provincial Personnel Bureau.
Government officials who do not pass annual work evaluations will be expected
to resign, as will officials who pass with low appraisals two years running.
"We expect our leading government officials at different levels to not only
meet their work targets, but also provide better service to the people and make
outstanding achievement in their work," said Wang Xiao'an, deputy director of
the Organization Department of the Shaanxi Provincial Committee of the Communist
Party of China.
Officials will be expected to resign in case of:
- Neglect of duty causing serious mass accident, or improper handling of
accidents leading to serious consequences.
- Serious policy mistakes which cause great economic losses or have huge
negative impact.
- Serious dereliction of duty in disaster prevention and relief work or
epidemic prevention and treatment.
-Serious dereliction of duty in production safety, resulting in continuous or
multiple serious accidents.
- Repeated accidents resulting in serious liability.
- Dereliction of duty in market supervision and administration,
environment protection, social security control, which cause many serious
accidents or criminal cases.
- Serious mistakes in cadres selection.
- Illegal actions by subordinates not properly supervised and
controlled.
- Lack of control over spouses, children and staff and disregard of any
illegal action they may be a part of.
"We hope these will further help improve our government work and enhance the
responsibility of all officials at different government levels," Wang said.
Shaanxi will also strengthen its screening mechanism for new government
functionaries and from 2005 applications will be accepted online to reduce
costs, Li said.
