Mr. Luu Van Liem was disciplined because he was responsible as a leader, for being lax in leadership and management, allowing his subordinates to commit financial violations while holding the position of Secretary of the Vinh Loi District Party Committee.

Regarding the above incident, the Bac Lieu Provincial Party Committee's Inspection Committee also imposed Party discipline in the form of warnings on other officials including: Mr. Vo Van Sau, Standing Deputy Secretary of the District Party Committee, Chairman of the People's Council of Vinh Loi District; Mr. Nguyen Minh Dao, Standing Committee Member, Head of the Organization Committee of Vinh Loi District Party Committee.

The Inspection Committee of Vinh Loi District Party Committee also decided to discipline Mr. Le Thanh Hung, Deputy Head of the Organization Committee of Vinh Loi District Party Committee, by reprimanding him.

The announcement of the Bac Lieu Provincial Party Committee's Inspection Committee showed that Mr. Vo Van Sau, in his role as Standing Deputy Secretary of the District Party Committee, Chairman of the People's Council of Vinh Loi District, together with the Standing Committee of the District Party Committee, agreed on the policy of spending Tet gifts in 2022, which was not in accordance with the regime, norms, and standards.

As the deputy head of the Party Committee, directly directing the activities of the advisory and support agencies of the District Party Committee, in charge of the District Party Committee Office and directly directing the Party's financial work, Mr. Vo Van Sau lacked exemplary leadership, management, and strict inspection and supervision, allowing the District Party Committee's Organization Board and the District Party Committee Office to establish payment and settlement documents for many contents that were not in accordance with regulations (false payments and settlements, not to the right subjects, incorrect norms, incomplete payment documents and records according to regulations, and wrong authority). Specifically, he made false payments to individuals for an amount of more than 190 million VND. Of which, 10.5 million VND was spent on buying tablets; more than 30 million VND was paid to compensate for personal advances for business trips; monthly expenses were more than 152 million VND...

Mr. Truong Thanh Nha, Secretary of Vinh Loi District Party Committee, said that the amount of money wronged by the individuals involved has been basically resolved. Regarding Mr. Vo Van Sau, after the province reviewed and implemented the disciplinary decision, the Standing Committee of Bac Lieu Provincial Party Committee decided to remove Mr. Vo Van Sau from the position of Permanent Deputy Secretary of the District Party Committee and Chairman of the People's Council of Vinh Loi District.
