Directive No. 345/CT-TTCP on intensifying the study and emulation of President Ho Chi Minh's moral example; improving the quality of public service performance, building a contingent of inspection officials who are disciplined, responsible, thrifty, honest, upright, and impartial.

DIRECTIVE

Regarding the promotion of learning and following the moral example of President Ho Chi Minh; improving the quality of public service performance, building a team of inspection cadres who are disciplined, responsible, frugal, honest, upright, and selfless

In recent years, inspection agencies have actively implemented the movement to learn and follow the moral example of President Ho Chi Minh. The cadre, civil servants, and officials throughout the sector have made many efforts to organize and implement this movement well, along with the regulations of the Party, State, and industry; fulfill their duties and responsibilities to the State and people; comply with regulations on office culture and conduct rules for inspectors when performing their duties; continuously study, cultivate, and improve their professional expertise, political awareness, moral character, lifestyle, overcoming numerous difficulties and challenges. Most cadres, civil servants, and officials have successfully completed their assigned tasks. Many comrades have set exemplary models of moral character and ethics for inspection cadres who are frugal, honest, upright, and selfless, demonstrating high spirits of responsibility, dedication, creativity, overcoming difficulties, and completing their tasks excellently. These results and achievements contribute to the successful completion of political tasks at each agency, unit, and the entire sector, worthy of the trust of the Party, State, and people.

However, the sense of responsibility, organizational discipline awareness, implementation of office culture regulations, and inspection activity rules of a portion of civil servants and officials remain weak; the effectiveness of work and spirit of serving the people is not high; the phenomenon of choosing easy tasks and avoiding difficult ones still exists; the spirit of unity and shared responsibility among a portion of civil servants and officials (including some individuals who are leaders or members of the Party Committee of certain units) is not high, sometimes showing signs of disunity; some individuals have violated moral character and lifestyle standards, made inappropriate statements, caused inconvenience to inspected entities for personal gain... which has negatively affected the image of inspection cadres and the reputation of the inspection sector.
