It is difficult to supervise the county party committee secretary because:
First, there is something wrong with the political quality of the county party secretary. Because of the relaxation of study and the change of world outlook, they often can't stand the temptation of material interests, their selfish desires expand, they commercialize their power, make profits for themselves and their relatives and friends, and become full-fledged "two-faced people."
Second, the power of the county party secretary is highly centralized. This is the fundamental reason for the difficulty in supervision. The power of the county party secretary is too concentrated, and the fundamental reason is the institutional mechanism. The secretary of the county party Committee lives in the power center of the county-level political power, which integrates financial power, administrative power and human rights and has great power. Not only the promotion and appointment of cadres, but also the decision-making of major projects is decided by the county party secretary. Because the secretary keeps his word, the procedures of organizing inspection, standing Committee meeting and secretary meeting in cadre promotion seem to be "full of obstacles", but in fact, most of them ultimately reflect the "personal will" of the secretary. If the county party secretary's thoughts and behaviors are not correct, he will easily become a "local tyrant".
Third, the cadre appointment system needs to be improved. Over the years, the appointment of the main leaders of party committees and governments at all levels has always adopted a top-down inspection and appointment system. Before the general election, the cadres and organizations to be appointed will also come forward to represent them to ensure their election. Although through inspection, appraisal and election procedures, party member deputies or people's deputies lack substantive decision-making power on their appointment and removal. In order to establish the authority of higher-level organizations, higher-level party committees often adjust the main leaders at lower levels during their term of office. In this way, officials are only responsible to their superiors and only make visible achievements. If they curry favor with, serve and buy off the main leaders at higher levels, they can continue to be promoted to a higher position and make a fortune.
Fourth, there are defects in the supervision system. The current regulatory system, seemingly sparse but not leaking, is actually difficult to put in place. There are many principles of supervision and restraint mechanism, but it lacks maneuverability. The supervisory role of the superior discipline inspection commission is difficult to play in time. The current inner-party supervision system gives the superior disciplinary Committee the power to supervise the lower party committees. But in fact, because the county-level regime is at the end of state power, far from the central government, relatively independent, and has a large space for free action, the supervision right is not easy to touch. It is difficult for the superior discipline inspection commission to keep track of the daily work of the members of the lower party committees in time, especially the activities that may involve abuse of power for personal gain, which objectively makes it difficult for the superior discipline inspection commission to stop the illegal and disciplinary actions of the members of the lower party committees in time. As for the supervision of higher party committees and media, there are few opportunities and high costs. If the supervisory power can't keep up, relying on self-discipline can easily lead to power corruption.
To change these problems, we must start from the following aspects:
First, strengthen the restriction on the power operation of the county party secretary. First, we should appropriately delegate power. Under the premise of not affecting the correct exercise of the leadership of the county party secretary, the content and boundary of his power should be clearly defined, and the strict sense of collective decision-making system and division of labor responsibility system should be implemented to change the situation that the power of the county party secretary was excessively centralized and highly centralized in the past. The second is to strictly limit power. In view of the special link of the power operation of the county party secretary, corresponding measures are taken to strictly limit his power to the scope allowed by performing his duties. The third is to openly operate power. As long as it does not involve the confidential contents of the party and the state or important matters that will not cause misunderstandings and contradictions, it must be made public in a certain form within a certain scope to enhance the transparency of the operation of power.
Second, use the system to regulate the right to use the county party secretary. Selecting and employing people is related to the rise and fall of the cause, people's hearts turning against each other, the growth of cadres, and even the future of the country and the nation. Personnel corruption is the biggest corruption. The case of the county party secretary buying and selling officials not only seriously damaged the credibility of selecting and employing people, but also shook the ruling foundation of the party and the government. The key to scientifically standardize and effectively supervise the employment behavior of county party Committee secretaries is to improve the system of selecting and employing people, improve the mechanism of selecting cadres, and realize the fundamental change from selecting people to using the system of selecting people. We should adhere to the principles of "having both ability and political integrity, putting morality first" and "democracy, openness, competition, and selecting the best" so as not to let honest people suffer. First, we should improve the initial motion nomination system to avoid a few leaders appointing cadres by default; The second is to improve the democratic recommendation system and grasp the basic direction of selecting and employing people; Third, improve the organization inspection system to prevent the inspection from being distorted and inaccurate; The fourth is to improve the discussion and decision-making system to prevent the main leaders from "speaking at one word"; Fifth, it is necessary to improve the cadre appointment system and prevent cadres from taking up their posts in spite of illness; Sixth, improve the cadre supervision system to ensure the quality of selecting and employing people; Seventh, vigorously carry out public elections and direct elections, and select "swift horses" that can really serve the masses in an eclectic way.
Third, establish and improve the supervision system. First, strengthen the supervision of higher party committees. Party committees at higher levels should pay special attention to strengthening the supervision of the employment behavior, democratic decision-making and honesty and self-discipline of county party Committee secretaries, talk at least once a year, and criticize, educate and correct existing problems in a timely manner; In accordance with the requirements of the central authorities, the inspection team should extend its work to the county and directly listen to the opinions of all parties, including ordinary citizens and county party Committee secretaries; Improve the system of regular inspections and special investigations, and conduct special investigations on the selection and employment problems reflected by letters and visits to improve the accuracy and reliability of cadres' use. The second is to strengthen supervision at the same level. Mainly from the supervision of leaders, the National People's Congress and the CPPCC, as well as the discipline enforcement and organization departments, we will establish a multi-department coordination and coordinated supervision pattern to form a joint force of supervision. The third is to improve mass supervision. Establish a report acceptance system, smooth the channels of public opinion, make full use of the Internet and mass suggestion boxes, announce the telephone number of cadre appointment supervision to the public, publicize the appointment results, collect public opinion, feed back the investigation and handling results of reported matters to informants, and implement mass supervision. The fourth is to strengthen media supervision. It is necessary to give full play to the supervisory role of the central media and provincial and municipal media, as well as the supervisory role of county-level media, and supervise the county party Committee and its secretary by public opinion.
Fourth, strict accountability. The first is to increase accountability. In strict accordance with the principle of equal rights and responsibilities, the county party secretary who bears the leadership responsibility or direct responsibility for the decision-making mistakes has caused great economic losses or social impacts, and the inaction and chaos have harmed the vital interests of the masses, and failed to prevent and deal with public emergencies, resulting in human errors. According to the seriousness of the case and the size of the harm, deal with it decisively. The second is to intensify adjustment. The secretary of the county party Committee who has worked in a county for a long time, but can't open the situation, has an average performance and is strongly reflected by the masses, should be adjusted in time. The third is to clarify the way of accountability. Adhere to the combination of education and punishment, and give corresponding treatment according to the size of responsibility.
Fifth, strengthen self-study and increase training. We should be diligent and eager to learn, so that reading and learning can become an important way to enrich knowledge and improve quality, an effective means to strengthen self-cultivation and cultivate noble sentiments, and constantly improve ideological and political quality and the ability to resist corruption and change. Arm your mind with Socialism with Chinese characteristics's theoretical system, strengthen your ideals and beliefs, and firmly establish a correct outlook on the world, life, values and power. In terms of training, we should formulate training measures and implement training plans in accordance with the growth law of county party Committee secretaries. Insist on putting ideological education in the first place and focus on strengthening democratic centralism education.
