He pointed out that the fight against corruption, to some extent, has not been paid adequate attention, leading to prolonged settlement of corruption cases.
PM Dũng asked relevant agencies to identify reasons behind the slow handling of these cases and at the same time speed up administrative reform, consolidate and enhance the capacity of the anti-corruption steering sub-committees at ministerial and local levels.
He also called for stronger investigation and inspection, particularly in areas that are fertile for corruption and wrong-doings.

These inspections found financial misuse of VND 1.915 billion.
Ministerial and local agencies launched some 4,032 inspections, with 2,457 completed.
The report also says that most serious corruption cases are under investigation or put into trial.
