How to strengthen the supervision and management of cadres "outside eight hours"

With the deepening of reform and opening up and the development of the socialist market economy, my country's economic components, interest entities, social organizations, and people's employment methods and lifestyles have become increasingly diversified, and leading cadres are "eight hours away" The time and space for activities are gradually expanding, and the form and content of activities are also becoming diversified. Faced with various tests brought about by social changes and institutional transformation, some leading cadres cannot withstand the temptations of power, money, and feasting, and do things that are contrary to social morality, organizational principles, and party discipline and laws. Come and embark on the path of breaking the law and discipline. In the past three years, the ** County Discipline Inspection and Supervision Bureau has successively investigated and punished 14 department-level leading cadres. Among them, 13 of them had disciplinary and illegal behaviors that occurred in their living and social circles "eight hours away", accounting for 10% of the disciplinary violations of department-level cadres. 93%. Some cases of violations of laws and disciplines by leading cadres investigated and handled by disciplinary inspection and supervision agencies at all levels across the country (such as cases involving violations of laws and disciplines by Cheng Kejie, Hu Changqing, Chen Xitong, Han Guizhi, Liu Fanren, Ding Xinfa, etc.) have repeatedly stated that "beyond eight hours" is the time for leading cadres to violate laws and disciplines. Frequent period" is the "golden time" for cadre corruption. Therefore, how to adapt to the new situation and effectively strengthen the "eight-hour supervision" of leading cadres is a brand-new topic facing the discipline inspection and supervision agencies and organizational personnel departments at all levels.

1. The main manifestations of corruption among leading cadres "eight hours away".

Judging from some corruption cases of leading cadres investigated and handled by disciplinary inspection and supervision agencies in various places, the forms of corruption among leading cadres outside eight hours can be described as diverse:

First, eating and drinking with public funds and high-consumption entertainment. Some units take turns to sit down and treat each other to meals; some eat when they go to the countryside to inspect and guide work, and also when discussing work in the same city; some accept banquets, gifts, or high-consumption entertainment provided by service recipients or subordinate units. On the wine table, there are all kinds of things flying in the sky, running on the ground, swimming in the water, delicacies from mountains and seas, famous wines and cigarettes, and one meal can cost thousands of dollars. After having a full meal, they went to the karaoke bar, played on the dance floor, washed their hair and feet, got a sauna massage, and even received a massage. Some squandered the food when the company had money, and ate on credit when the company had no money. Endless eating and drinking not only ruins the body, impoverishes the work unit, and ruins the hotel, but also corrupts the party style and the people's customs.

The second is private use of buses and public-funded travel. Some leading cadres regard public cars as private cars. Cadres of their units can only take shuttle buses when going to the countryside or on business trips, while family members of leading cadres have private affairs or their children go to school, but use the unit's small cars to transport them; some use them when attending meetings or studying. Travel with public funds; some use public funds and public cars to travel with their families or lovers during holidays; some accept funds provided by service recipients or subordinate units to travel to scenic spots and historic sites, famous mountains and rivers, and travel around "princes and countries."

The third is to use their authority to accept bribes, engage in money and power transactions, and obtain illegal benefits. Cheng Kejie, Hu Changqing, Chen Xitong, Han Guizhi, Liu Fangnen and Ding Xinfa are among them.

The fourth is to take advantage of weddings, funerals, birthdays, or illness and hospitalization to collect money. For example, Ma De, a corrupt official in Heilongjiang Province and former secretary of the Suihua Municipal Party Committee, was once hospitalized due to illness and received 2.4 million yuan in "condolence money" from his subordinates in one week in the hospital.

The fifth is gambling and gambling. Some leading cadres are addicted to gambling and gamble so hard every day and stay up all night that they are always drowsy when they go to work the next day and cannot work normally; some misappropriate or embezzle public funds to make up for the "black hole" of gambling capital; Then gamble from within the country to overseas. In the past two years, the ** County Discipline Inspection and Supervision Bureau has investigated and punished four department-level cadres who participated in gambling "eight hours away".

Sixth is the indiscriminate relationship between the sexes. Some go out to play with prostitutes, hide their beauties in golden houses, keep mistresses, and keep mistresses, while others engage in prostitution and commit adultery, which is a violation of moral customs.

Seventh is sugar daddy and gangster. Some people despise the poor and prefer the rich when making friends. When working at the grassroots level, they only visit rich families but not poor families. Some of them are brothers and sisters of the underworld, and are led by the wealthy and underworld figures to act as a protective umbrella for their illegal crimes.

2. The main characteristics of "eight hours away" corruption among leading cadres:

First, it is highly concealed and complex. Because leading cadres are "eight hours away" from their work units and organizations, their life and social circles are wide-ranging, highly mobile, and span a wide range of time and space. In addition, most people who engage in corruption use covert methods to carry out their activities. A one-on-one private transaction is difficult for others to detect except the person involved. Therefore, "outside eight hours" corruption is highly concealed and complex, making supervision difficult.

Second, the trend of familialization is becoming increasingly obvious. Some leading cadres not only accept and demand bribes themselves, but their family members are also involved, which contributes to their degeneration. Some wives serve as "bribe-taking ministers of finance"; some children "borrow their father's power to make money." For example, Ding Xinfa, the former chief prosecutor of the Jiangxi Provincial Procuratorate, accepted bribes equivalent to RMB 300,000 alone or together with his wife Zhang and his son Ding. At the same time, he used his position to seek improper benefits for his son's business and misappropriated public funds of RMB 2.1 million.

Third, holidays and festive days occur frequently. One is traditional festivals, such as Spring Festival, Lantern Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, and Mid-Autumn Festival. These festivals are the peak times for people to visit relatives and friends, treat guests and give gifts. Some people who aim at the power of leading cadres and want to be "taken care of" by leading cadres also use normal human relationships as a cover to send generous gifts to leading cadres and make "emotional investments", and some leading cadres who love money will accept them with peace of mind. .

The second is modern holidays, such as May Day, National Day, New Year's Day, etc. These holidays are the peak time for urban office workers to relax or travel. Some people with evil intentions take advantage of these holidays to offer disguised bribes by inviting leading cadres to travel. The second is

Weddings and funerals, illness and hospitalization, and birthdays. Weddings, funerals, illnesses and hospitalizations, birthdays and birthdays of leading cadres and their families are the best reasons for bribers to give money and for bribe recipients to receive money. The third is to mobilize the promotion day. When leading cadres are promoted or transferred, it is often the period when promotions are most frequent. Some "careful people" also take the opportunity to send generous gifts and "congratulations" to lay the foundation for future relationships. Therefore, "outside eight hours" is the "time period" where corruption among leading cadres often occurs, while holidays and family festivals have become the "prime time" for corruption among leading cadres.

3. The main reasons for the corruption of leading cadres “out of eight hours”:

1. The negative impact of imperfect market economy and unequal competition. At present, our country is still in the transition period of the market economy, and the socialist market economic system is not yet perfect. The competitiveness of the market economy and the diversification of economic entities have intensified the fierce competition for survival. Driven by interests, some speculators seek to circumvent fair competition and obtain illegal benefits by wooing and corrupting leading cadres. However, some leading cadres with psychological imbalance and inflated selfish desires took the opportunity to engage in "power rent-seeking" and engaged in power-for-money and power-sex transactions.

2. The erosion of bourgeois decadent ideas and lifestyles. With the increase in foreign exchanges, some leading cadres blindly worshiped the decadent ideas and lifestyles of the bourgeoisie, and gradually developed money worship, hedonism and extreme individualism. They spent all day traveling to and from feasting, music pools and pavilions, indulging in love in casinos, and Unknowingly, I was knocked down by money and beauty.

3. Some leading cadres are driven by their own bad psychology. One is the psychology of fame and fortune. Believing in the vulgar "guanxiology" that "promotion depends on activities, relationships depend on walking around", for the sake of personal fame and fortune

they run for personal fame and fortune, build relationships, and get close to each other. The opportunity is to sell one's official position; the second is to indulge in psychology. They think that work is stressful and busy, and they should "relax" and "be cool" after get off work, so they eat what they shouldn't eat, do what they shouldn't do, play with what they shouldn't play, take things they shouldn't take, and collect things they shouldn't. The third is a fluke mentality. I believe that activities outside of eight hours are personal privacy and no one else has the right to interfere. Even if you do something you shouldn’t do, play something you shouldn’t play, or get something you shouldn’t get, as long as you do it perfectly, no one will know. Those who are familiar with the matter do not know that the legal network is wide open and there are no omissions. The corrupt will one day be punished by party discipline and state law.

4. Countermeasures to strengthen the supervision of leading cadres “outside eight hours”.

1. Strengthen ideological education and enhance the consciousness of leading cadres to be honest and self-disciplined "outside eight hours". There are many reasons why some leading cadres cannot control themselves and make mistakes "eight hours away", but the most fundamental reason is that there is a problem with the world outlook, outlook on life, and values. It is a bad psychology and unhealthy thoughts that play a role. Education must be strengthened to solve this problem. The first is to strengthen the important ideological education of "Three Represents" so that leading cadres can establish a correct world outlook, outlook on life and values; the second is to strengthen the "Four Self" education so that leading cadres can achieve "self-esteem, self-respect, self-policing, "Self-motivation", so as to have few desires in life and be cautious in actions; thirdly, strengthen warning education, so that the alarm bell always sounds, so that leading cadres can consciously eliminate impetuous, hedonistic, lazy, fluke and other bad psychology, and consciously resist "eight hours away" and consciously accept the supervision of the organization and the masses.

2. Establish and improve a system to regulate the behavior of leading cadres "outside eight hours". Some leading cadres make mistakes outside of eight hours. In addition to their own reasons, there is another important reason: the organization lacks a complete and systematic standard for the behavior of leading cadres outside eight hours, and there is a lack of effective regulations on their words and deeds outside eight hours. Supervision departments also have difficulties in supervision and implementation. Therefore, they must adapt to the needs of the situation and formulate a systematic, authoritative and highly operational code of conduct for leading cadres outside eight hours and the handling of violations of the code. . When formulating the code of conduct, the political beliefs, moral sentiments, integrity and self-discipline, interpersonal communication and other content of leading cadres should be included, and clearly define what can and cannot be done, and what punishment should be meted out if they violate it. At present, various regulations on the integrity and self-discipline of leading cadres should be implemented, such as the "eight no-nos" (no illegal collection and delivery of cash, securities and payment vouchers; no running for office to seek official positions; no laissez-faire, connivance, spouse, children and staff around them to take advantage of the position of leading cadres). Influencing business operations or engaging in intermediary activities to seek illegal benefits; not allowed to participate in gambling; not allowed to take advantage of weddings and funerals to collect money; not allowed to engage in non-official mutual dining and high-consumption entertainment activities with public funds; not allowed to engage in invasive fishing; It is not allowed to use public funds or accept funding arrangements from units or individuals related to the exercise of powers; it is not allowed to participate in *** organizations), etc., which are included in the code of conduct that leading cadres must abide by outside of eight hours. At the same time, it is necessary to clearly stipulate the penalties for violating this provision and other issues.

3. Highlight the key points of supervision and enhance the pertinence of supervision of leading cadres “outside eight hours”.

Because leading cadres "outside the Eighth Small Group" are far away from units and organizations, their life and social circles are wide-ranging, highly mobile, span large time and space, and are highly concealed and complex. With the existing manpower and material resources, and supervision methods, it is difficult to conduct timely and effective supervision of leading cadres. Therefore, on the basis of strengthening daily supervision, we must focus on strengthening supervision of key individuals, important periods, and important locations.

First, strengthen supervision of key figures. First, the top leaders of administrative institutions at all levels, as well as deputies and middle-level cadres who have certain real power in charge of people, finances, materials, and project contracting, supervision, and acceptance. These people are most likely to be coaxed and corrupted by people with ulterior motives; second, in their daily work and life , Cadres who have shown signs of problems in their work style, such as those who usually work perfunctorily, are sluggish at work, are energetic after get off work, are keen on eating, drinking and dressing, have a fierce relationship with some wealthy people, and have close contacts with underworld figures.

Second, we must

strengthen supervision during key periods. The first is the period of personnel adjustment of local or unit cadres, and the period of promotion and appointment of cadres; the second is the period of approval, contracting, supervision, and completion acceptance of major engineering projects; the third is the period of promotion, job changes of leading cadres, and weddings, funerals, and relocations in the family , children entering school, myself and my family members being sick and hospitalized, birthdays and birthdays; fourth, major holidays such as New Year's Day, Spring Festival, May Day, Mid-Autumn Festival, and National Day. These periods are often the periods when behaviors such as courtship, bribery, power-for-money transactions, and money collection are most common. Strengthening supervision during this period will suppress the most important period of occurrence of "power corruption."

Third, strengthen supervision of important locations. Hotels, restaurants, beauty and massage parlors, dance halls, nightclubs and other leisure and entertainment venues and the residences of leading cadres. These places are often where a small number of leading cadres eat, drink, gamble, trade power for money, and trade power and sex "eight hours away". Important places in the abyss of crime, strengthening supervision of these places will eliminate the "trading market" for corrupt elements.

4. Strengthen the joint force of supervision and enhance the effectiveness of supervision of leading cadres "outside eight hours". To strengthen the supervision of leading cadres "outside eight hours", it is obviously not enough to rely on outstanding supervision from one department, one unit and a period of time. All aspects must play a role and form an all-round and three-dimensional supervision network to form a strong supervision. Together.

First, we must strengthen internal supervision of the team and block the transfer of power "outside eight hours." First, we must strictly adhere to the party's system of democratic centralism. Adhere to collective leadership and democratic centralism. All major matters and important decisions should be subject to collective discussion and democratic decision-making. No individual or a few people should have the final say to prevent individuals from acting arbitrarily. The second is to further improve the decision-making and supervision system in important aspects such as personnel selection and transfer, cadre promotion, project bidding, land leasing, property rights transactions, special fund allocation and appropriation, block the transfer of power to "outside eight hours", and prevent power from the source "Rent-seeking" eight hours away. The third is to strictly enforce the democratic life meeting system within the party. It is necessary to include the problems that exist "outside eight hours" in the content of democratic life meetings, conduct self-analysis, and carry out criticism and self-criticism. This creates an atmosphere of mutual supervision within the team.

Second, strengthen disciplinary inspection and supervision and organizational departments’ daily inspection and supervision of leading cadres. When promoting cadres, the opinions of the disciplinary inspection and supervision departments should be first listened to. When inspecting cadres, we should not only look at their performance "within eight hours" but also their performance "outside eight hours"; we should not only examine their work circle, but also their living and social circles. For those who report violations of disciplines and laws "more than eight hours later", promotion should be suspended; if the problems after investigation are minor, timely reminders and education should be provided; if serious problems do exist, promotion qualifications should be revoked and submitted to the disciplinary inspection and judicial authorities for strict enforcement deal with.

Third, strengthen supervision by law enforcement agencies. Public security, culture, industry and commerce and other departments should strengthen regular inspections of high-consumption entertainment venues such as hotels, restaurants, beauty and massage parlors, dance halls, nightclubs, etc. If they find that their operations are irregular and harbor dirt and evil, they must be banned; if they find that leading cadres are found Those who engage in prostitution, gambling and other activities must be strictly investigated and punished, and the disciplinary inspection and supervision departments must be promptly notified.

Fourth, strengthen mass supervision. Leading cadres come from the masses and live among the masses. The people living around leading cadres are most familiar with their situations. We must mobilize the masses, rely on the masses, and allow more people to participate in supervision. The first is to establish an "eight-hour outside" supervisory petition and reporting system for leading cadres, publicize the reporting hotline, set up reporting mailboxes, supervision websites, etc., and encourage the masses to participate in supervision; the second is to hire National People's Congress deputies, CPPCC members, non-party celebrities and community representatives to serve as supervisors. Specially invited supervisors are asked to supervise the activities of leading cadres "outside of eight hours" and report immediately to the disciplinary inspection and supervision agencies and organizational departments if any violations of discipline and law are discovered. The third is to establish a system for liaison between discipline inspection and supervision and organizational departments and the masses in the places where leading cadres live. Regularly visit the neighbors of leading cadres to learn about their compliance with social ethics, family virtues, neighborhood relations, social interactions, and integrity and self-discipline "outside of eight hours". Through the above comprehensive measures, the objects of supervision can be "perspective" in a broader social space.

Fifth, we must strengthen supervision of news and public opinion.

More publicity should be given to the moral codes and behavioral norms that leading cadres should abide by "outside the eight hours", and the moral, disciplinary, and illegal behavior of a small number of leading cadres "outside the eight hours" should be publicly exposed, so as to warn leading cadres to learn lessons from them and often police themselves. , self-examination, be careful about independence, desire and power, and establish a good social image.
