4. Working hard to build a
service-oriented government. We need to make innovations in our style of
government and focus management on providing services to lower-level
governments, enterprises and the general public. Administrative resources need
to be better integrated and administrative costs lowered to improve
administrative efficiency and the level of services. Government departments
should not only strive to do their own work well but also improve coordination
and cooperation with each other. We will improve the systems of public
notifications and public hearings to expand participation of the general public
in the management of public affairs. We will energetically make government
affairs more open and strengthen efforts to develop e-government. We will
increase the transparency of government work and boost popular confidence in
government.
5. Improving our ability to
perform our duties in accordance with the law. We will conscientiously implement
the basic policy of governing the country by law and the Program on Performing
Official Duties in Accordance with the Law promulgated by the State Council, and
speed up work to build a law-based government. Governments at all levels and
their departments must strictly abide by the Constitution and laws, exercise
their powers and perform their duties within their stipulated scope of authority
and on the basis of the procedures defined by laws, and accept oversight. We
will implement a responsibility system for enforcement of administrative laws
and put a stop to overlapping jurisdiction and unfair practices in law
enforcement. We will strengthen the administrative accountability system and
investigate and prosecute administrative improprieties in accordance with the
law. All departments must strengthen their internal management, actively
cooperate with and support auditing offices and supervision departments in the
performance of their duties in accordance with the law, and conscientiously
correct any problems discovered in the process. The scope of public and media
oversight of the government and its departments will be
expanded.
6. Making great efforts to improve the government's style of work. We will adhere to the principle of "people first and government for the people." We will maintain a scientific outlook on development and a correct attitude toward our performance, and be realistic and pragmatic in our work. We must strictly enforce the Statistics Law. We will work to establish a scientific system for evaluating government performance and a system for comprehensively evaluating economic and social development. We must resolutely oppose formalism and the practices of falsifying reports. We cannot build any more "image projects" or "vanity projects" that waste both money and manpower. We will reduce the number of meetings and documents and improve their style. We should strictly standardize and regulate all kinds of inspections, evaluations and all other activities to determine compliance with standards. We should conscientiously follow the guiding principles of the State Council's Third Conference on Clean Government and intensify our efforts to build a clean government and combat corruption, focusing on reforms and institutional development. In conjunction with the Education Campaign to Preserve the Advanced Nature of Party Members, we will strengthen the education, management and oversight of public servants and work hard to turn them into a contingent of public servants with whom the people are satisfied. |
