State Council implements anti-corruption instructions

Xinhua, January 14, 2015 Adjust font size:

China's State Council, the cabinet, convened on Wednesday to set in motion anti-graft work in the government in line with President Xi Jinping's latest instructions.

The meeting was presided over by Premier Li Keqiang, and attended by Vice premiers Zhang Gaoli, Liu Yandong, Wang Yang and Ma Kai, among others.

Xi delivered a speech to the 5th plenary session of the 18th Communist Party of China Central Commission for Discipline Inspection on Tuesday, stressing adherence to party rules and calling for more anti-corruption effort.

At the meeting, the State Council ordered authorities to advance the frugality campaign and strengthen management over the funds used for public vehicles, receptions and trips.

Further cuts in administrative approval are planned along with clarification of the rights of various departments to clean "the soil breeding corruption." Government affairs should be more transparent and audits on public funds should ensure the funds' safety.

The meeting decided to quickly prepare a third State Council work conference on clean government. Endi
