Energy giant CNPC reviews internal anti-graft efforts
Nearly 150 staff responsible for internal monitoring submit reports amid widening inquiry at state energy giant
China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) is carrying out its annual review of internal anti-graft efforts, amid a wide-ranging corruption probe centred on Zhou Yongkang, China’s former security tsar and a previous head of the energy giant.
The company’s discipline and inspection group chief, Wang Lixin, met 28 secretaries of internal discipline inspection commissions at subsidiary companies over four days, Communist Party authorities have said.
They delivered oral reports on the past year’s work, and another 120 secretaries have been asked to submit written reports, the party’s Central Commission for Discipline Inspection said on its website on Sunday.
Secretaries are responsible for identifying areas of concern and devising solutions and laying out plans for future work.
A panel of judges, drawn from the company’s human resources staff and Wang’s group evaluate the secretaries, and that assessment is used in the future when deciding whether they should be promoted.
