Law to make officials 'take blame and quit' By Ling Hu (China Daily) Updated: 2004-12-27 08:45 Civil servants are soon going to have a clearer perception of their career responsibilities and performance standards, as the law-making Standing Committee of National People's Congress (NPC) begins deliberating a proposed law on civil servants today. The draft law obviously targeted to rein in senior officials, states that civil servants in leading positions should "take the blame and quit their leadership posts" if their mistakes or negligence cause "major losses or ill social repercussions," or if they hold leadership responsibility for major accidents. "By regulating civil service properly, the new law will take a step forward in the country's pursuit of a legal system that can effectively oversee administrative power," Mo Yuchuan, a professor of public law at Beijing's acclaimed Renmin University of China, told China Daily yesterday. China introduced its civil servant system in 1993, when the central government issued a provisional decree to regulate civil servants' performances. The proposed law, with more precise rules, is going to be the first statute to rule the 5 million or so civil servants nationwide. There are elaborate disciplines in the draft. Among the list of punishable activities are: practising fraud, getting involved in pornography, drug-taking, gambling, or superstition, opening businesses or committing other money-making jobs on the sidelines. Civil servants also required to stay out of cases that involve the interests of their own or their close relatives. chinadaily.com.cn
