Can New Travel Regulations Really Curb Corruption?

< p > the regulations on the administration of travel expenses of the central and state organs, which have been implemented since January 1, 2014, stipulate that the Ministry of Finance shall formulate the standard of travel expenses according to the principles of sub regions, grades and sub projects, and make timely adjustments according to the changes in market prices and consumption levels.

< p > in the new regulation, the Ministry of finance did not determine the specific amount of accommodation and meals, but made clear that the provincial financial departments should set standards according to their own economic and social development level.

< /p >

< p > May 7th, the the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region finance department issued the "administrative measures for the travel expenses of Party and government organs at the corresponding level" on its official website.

According to incomplete statistics, the Finance Department of Guangxi, Shanghai, Anhui, Shandong, Guizhou, Sichuan and other places, referring to the relevant regulations of the Ministry of finance, announced the standard form of the travel accommodation and meals allowance on the official website.

< p > < strong > travel expense standard "show face" point of praise "/strong > < /p >"

< p > @505480776: This is the case. There is a standard for discipline. < /p >

< p > reporter: the official travel is required to pay the bill according to the regulations, which is an indispensable system constraint for correcting unhealthy style of work.

It restricts the "diet" of cadres, restricts the "journey" of cadres, and also controls the "hands" of cadres.

< /p >

< p > netizens say "heaven and earth": a unified sense of frugality makes the "new regulations for travel" no longer an armchair strategist. The precise "food and shelter" restriction limits the scale of "loopholes".

Such a strict travel "red line" allows party members and cadres to travel more and more common, standardized and refined, and can no longer do whatever they want to "enjoy life" under the guise of public service.

< /p >

< p > < strong > different levels and different standards, inducing "invisible corruption" (< /strong > < /p >).

< p > netizens "Jiang Hong": in order to reflect differences in the treatment of officials at different levels, it is necessary to set up different standards for lodging costs.

But the difference should not be too large. For a slightly higher official, it is enough to ensure that the three-star hotel room is enough. The excess of the cost of accommodation should be borne by the public servants themselves.

< /p >

< p > netizens "Sha Yuansen": civil servants enjoy different treatment according to their grades. This is in principle clear, but if the difference is too large, it is easy to strengthen the concept of hierarchy. Some cadres regard travel expenses as "hidden benefits" that they have been through for many years, and even breed the problem of corruption in order to meet the standards.

< /p >

< p > < strong > public supervision is indispensable. < /strong > /p >

< p > @ Di Ren Zhi Ping: as long as it is stipulated, it is nothing more than reiterated that the key is to persist in execution.

< /p >

< p > netizens "Wang Chuantao": we never lack a good system. What we lack is strict enforcement and good supervision.

Therefore, the real problem is how to put the above systems and regulations into practice, to put power in the cage, and to prevent the relatives and family members from taking advantage of cheap travel reimbursement, which is the crux of the problem of official travel expenses.

< /p >

< p > Xinhua: establishing the system is far from enough, and it needs further information disclosure to support it.

In countries and regions where official travel expenses management is relatively mature, general budget management is usually carried out through strengthening budgets, and the information on how taxpayers use their money and where they are used are all pparent and open. People can always query on the government website.
