Chapter 285 Taking the Initiative: Opinions of the Standing Committee Members
County Party Committee Meeting Room: County Party Secretary Yi Xuexi, County Mayor Li Dakang, Deputy Secretary and Executive Deputy County Mayor Qi Tongwei, Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary Kang Funian, and Organization Department Minister Qin Yuanwei;
Publicity Minister Ji Hongyuan, United Front Work Minister Xiang Guoping, People's Armed Forces Minister Chu Yuanguang, Political and Legal Affairs Secretary Liu Feng, County Party Committee Office Director Cheng Wenchang, and Standing Committee Member and Deputy County Head Wang Dalu were all present.
"I'm sure everyone already knows what happened. The purpose of today's Standing Committee meeting is to discuss how to handle this matter!"
Everyone, please share your thoughts!
Yi Xuexi glanced at everyone and said.
"I am heartbroken that this happened!"
Previously, Secretary Bao, Deputy County Head Wang, County Head Li, and Secretary Yi all approached me, asking me to provide some funds for County Head Li's road repair project.
However, because the funds allocated by the higher authorities are for a specific purpose, I have no way to transfer the funds to County Chief Li.
To make the road construction process easier for County Chief Li.
While I was busy repairing the old road from the county seat to the city and planning and designing a new route, I sent Deputy County Head Du and Deputy Director Ma to various townships to learn about the local produce.
I myself went to Jingzhou and Lüzhou to look for buyers.
From what I understand, because the roads from the county to the city are in bad condition, many buyers have been unwilling to come to our county to buy mountain products in recent years.
As a result, the local people in our county have been unable to sell their mountain products for many years, and they have accumulated a lot of mountain products at home.
I think that if we can help people sell all the mountain products they have, their income will increase significantly.
In this way, it will be easier for the county to raise funds for road repairs.
After all, road construction is meant to make things easier for everyone. If the people have some money, they will definitely contribute more to the county's fundraising for road construction.
Just as I was negotiating with the buyer from Jingzhou, I received news that two people had died in a road construction project funded by the county!
I didn't dare to stop for a moment and rushed back immediately.
I believe it was caused by improper handling on County Chief Li's side.
They had already raised about three million yuan, enough to start building two or three roads, but instead of starting construction, they were making the people pay money they couldn't afford.
This led to a woman in Nanhuang Township drinking pesticide and a village party secretary in Jingang Township dying suddenly from overwork.
I said from the beginning that we should prioritize repairing the most important roads; it's unrealistic to repair all roads at once.
We must consider the actual situation in our county, and the fundraising should be within the range that the majority of cadres, teachers, medical staff, and hundreds of thousands of ordinary people can afford.
We cannot allow the vast number of cadres, teachers, and medical staff to go hungry in order to build roads, disregarding the lives of hundreds of thousands of ordinary people!
But County Chief Li was arrogant and insisted on repairing all the roads at once, making everyone in the county pay for it.
This ultimately led to the tragedy.
Therefore, I believe that County Chief Li should bear the primary responsibility!
Other relevant leaders should also bear corresponding responsibilities.
Reassure the people in the two villages.
The two civilians involved in the accident should be given appropriate compensation in accordance with regulations.
At the same time, we will stop fundraising and find other ways to fund the road construction.
Use the existing funds to repair the main roads first!
We need to give an explanation to those who paid the money, proving that our county party committee and government are doing real work, not just spouting slogans!
As soon as Yi Xuexi finished speaking, Qi Tongwei immediately spoke up, not giving Li Dakang a chance to shift the blame.
This matter has nothing to do with him in the first place, so don't expect him to take responsibility.
Li Dakang was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
He originally intended to pin the main responsibility on Qi Tongwei by citing Qi Tongwei's failure to provide support funds.
Unexpectedly, Qi Tongwei immediately absolved himself of responsibility, even saying that he had done a lot to help him.
He even shifted the main responsibility onto himself.
Is he responsible?
One problem is that he failed to recognize people's true character.
The primary responsibility lies with those below them; after all, it wasn't him who forced the woman's family in Nanhuang Township to pay money or forced the village secretary in Jingang Township to work tirelessly.
As the former secretary of the executive vice governor, he bears little responsibility.
"Yes, County Chief Li and the others should take responsibility!"
Our county is poor, so road construction has to be done step by step.
It cannot be accomplished overnight!
Being too hasty will only lead to trouble!
"This is what the Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary Kang Funian said."
He supported Li Dakang's proposal back then.
If we were to investigate strictly, he would also bear some responsibility.
In order to avoid taking responsibility, they had to shift the blame onto Li Dakang and his group.
County Head Li Dakang, Standing Committee Member and Deputy County Head Wang Dalu, Deputy County Head Du Qiang, Deputy County Head Zhang Hongzhe, Deputy County Head Hong Wenliang, Deputy County Head Jiang Songjie, and Director of the Government Office Lang Maocai;
Lou Xiaofeng, Director of the Transportation Bureau, Qi Fenglin and Hao Jianxin, Deputy Directors, as well as leaders from Nanhuang Township and Jingang Township.
Once these people delegate the responsibility, they are no longer involved.
Anyway, with Executive Vice Governor Zhao Lichun behind him, it won't affect Li Dakang's future promotion.
They are different; if they get punished, it will be very difficult for them to get promoted in the future.
"Secretary Kang is right. It was because County Chief Li and his colleagues were too hasty that such a tragedy occurred!"
County Chief Li and his colleagues must take responsibility for this!
"This was stated by Organization Minister Qin Yuanwei."
Compared to Kang Funian, he supported Li Dakang without any reservations back then.
In terms of responsibility, he is more responsible than Kang Funian.
But he doesn't want to take responsibility for it. Just because he supported the plan doesn't mean he has to take responsibility for problems that arise during its implementation.
"I agree with Secretary Kang and Minister Qin's opinion. County Chief Li and the others must take responsibility for this!"
Publicity Minister Ji Hongyuan, United Front Work Minister Xiang Guoping, Political and Legal Affairs Secretary Liu Feng, and County Party Committee Office Director Cheng Wenchang said.
They all supported Li Dakang's plan at the time, and if investigated by higher authorities, they also bear some responsibility.
But they don't want to take on these responsibilities; since so many people are involved, they might as well let them bear the burden.
The officials from the Guang County government included Li Dakang, Wang Dalu, Zhang Hongzhe, Hong Wenliang, and Jiang Songjie.
Besides them, there was also Lang Maocai, director of the government office; Bao Chunlai, secretary to Li Dakang; Lou Xiaofeng, director of the transportation bureau; Qi Fenglin, deputy director of the transportation bureau; and Hao Jianxin.
In addition, there were the secretaries and mayors of Nanhuang Township and Jingang Township.
"I abstain!"
"This was stated by Chu Yuanguang, the head of the People's Armed Forces Department."
He decided not to get involved in this matter, as it would easily offend Li Dakang and affect his future.
"I believe that Nanhuang Township and Jingang Township misunderstood the county's instructions, and they should bear the main responsibility for this matter!"
Wang Dalu said.
Li Dakang and his associates certainly bear some responsibility, but they cannot bear the primary responsibility.
Having finally risen from deputy county head to a standing committee member deputy county head, he didn't want to be reduced to his original position.
It's impossible to hold Li Dakang primarily responsible, since he has the executive vice governor Zhao Lichun behind him and won't bear much responsibility.
Ultimately, the main responsibility still rests with him, Zhang Hongzhe, Hong Wenliang, and Jiang Songjie.
Moreover, he had obtained his position as a deputy county head through Li Dakang, so he couldn't embarrass Li Dakang at this time.
Rather than taking the main responsibility themselves, they should shift the blame to Nanhuang Township and Jingang Township and let them bear the main responsibility.
In this way, the responsibility you ultimately bear will be much less.
