Fighting against corruption should be closely associated with Party building

The 11th Congress of the Communist Party of Viet Nam confirmed that bureaucracy and corruption remain serious problems. Why so? Reality shows that corruption is often committed by some people with power in public authorities. So to effectively prevent corruption, it is necessary to start with building and rectifying the Party and party members. Corruption is not simply a wrong-doing of an individual but it is associated with leadership, organizations and authorities.
Thus corruption can not be completely done away with if only individual is penalized. Rectification should be also be carried out by the organizations and units where those individuals are members or leaders. Without those organizations or units, the individuals have no power and consequently no opportunity for corruption. Corruption is not only problem of individuals but relates to public property and authority, it should be approached and dealt with in its relation with public power, organizations and collectives./.
