The Chief Government Inspector Tran Van Truyen said on November 10 that the comprehensive inspection of the Vietnam Shipbuilding Industry Group (Vinashin) has been completed. Inspectors will report the results to the Prime Minister to conclude the case.

“The inspection is scheduled to be finalized on November 15 but inspectors completed the task on November 9. Government inspectors have made Vinashin’s violations clearer than the inspection of the Central Inspection Committee. For example, the committee said that Vinashin incurred great debts… We made clear how much the debt is,” Truyen said.

 

According to Truyen, the Government Inspectorate proposed to inspect Vinashin three times but the inspections were canceled for different reasons.

 

Vinashin’s failure is one of the biggest concerns of deputies at the ongoing National Assembly session. Reporting to the National Assembly on October 20, the government remarked that Vinashin is a serious case, which was caused by Vinashin officials’ poor management, irresponsibility, intentional wrongdoings and untruthful reports to the government.

 

Many deputies asked the National Assembly to define the responsibility of the cabinet in this case. Deputy Nguyen Minh Thuyet suggested setting up a provisional committee to investigate the case and define the government’s responsibility in this case.

 

The National Assembly Office Chair Tran Dinh Dan told VNExpress online newspaper that the National Assembly Standing Committee is considering the legal foundation of deputy Thuyet’s proposal.

 

To date, nearly ten high-ranking officials at Vinashin have been arrested for intentionally violating state regulations on economic management which caused serious economic consequences. Vinashin’s former Chairman and General Director Pham Thanh Binh wer the first officials arrested.

 

Minister of Public Security Le Hong Anh said that police will expand their investigation to clearly uncover the irresponsibility of stage agencies in the Vinashin case.
