The first "government employee" in Jilin Province, two "government employees" hired with an annual salary of100,000 yuan took office in the midst of controversy. Regarding the recruitment of employees, Jilin provincial government officials specifically stated that the implementation of this system is "to meet the special needs of certain talents in government work after China's accession to the World Trade Organization." Because, "the current civil service examination recruitment method and the existing civil service treatment make the government really in a weak position in attracting special talents. The employee system is a supplement to the civil service system found by the government that began to pay attention to professionals. "

Almost at the same time that this measure was implemented in Jilin Province, government agencies all over the country began or started the "government employee system" in disguise. A competition for high-level talents is being launched nationwide in this new form.

Jilin initiated the first batch of "government employees" in China.

Hot comment:

The significance of implementing the "government employee system" is not limited to "adapting to the special needs of some talents in government work". More importantly, it may have a positive and profound effect on eliminating the disadvantages of the real system, improving the structure of civil servants and curing the chronic diseases of officials' mentality and behavior habits. Because government employees are different from civil servants, they will always remember that they were "employed" from the day they took up their jobs. If you are not dedicated and do your duty, you may be fired at any time. Its "catfish effect" in talent competition will be unprecedented!

There has been a lot of noise all year. "Government employees" thundered last year and it rained this year.

Cold view:

In the cheers, doubts followed. Can leaders decide who to hire by drawing a circle to ensure fair and accurate employment? In addition, how to renew or dismiss government employees fairly? It involves how to evaluate the performance of government employees. It is difficult to assess talents in law, finance and information with quantitative indicators.

The function of such employees is just a kind of "consultant", just moving their desks into the government compound. Is it worth spending so much money? Moreover, these professionals have not received wages from the government before, which is conducive to their functions. Will getting a high salary from the government now produce the idea of "keeping your seat"? Will you still maintain an objective and fair scientific attitude? Will you change your professional position for the benefit of the government?

People are most concerned about and sensitive to the commission of this employment. What does the government use to ensure that taxpayers' money is not squandered?

Government employees still have a long way to explore.

Wait a minute. Let's hear it for the government employee system.

What do you mean by "government employees"

As a local political analyst in Xuzhou said, there is no doubt that the form and specific operation process of this kind of "public promotion and public election" still need to be improved, but its positive significance is undeniable. This is the change of China's official selection system from "competing with horses" to "choosing horses in the stadium", the reform and new model of China's official selection system, and an important step in the construction of local political civilization.

The Birth of County Magistrate: The Competition Story of the First Public Election of County Magistrate in China

Jiangsu provincial party committee Organization Department answered a reporter's question on the election of county (city) leaders.

The first "elected official"

Open election of the first county magistrate and mayor.

Key areas: Jiangsu

Meng, the first county magistrate recommended by China, was officially elected as deputy county magistrate and acting county magistrate in Pei County, Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province. 10 year 10 mid-October, with the consent of jiangsu provincial party committee, Xuzhou City decided to select the county magistrate in Pei County with a population of1180,000. This is the first time that China has elected the chief leaders of county-level local governments by means of "public promotion and public election".

12 17 the eighth session of the standing Committee of Jintan city, Jiangsu province 14 unanimously voted by secret ballot to appoint Wu Xiaodong as the deputy mayor and acting mayor of Jintan city. This is the first mayor of a county (city) elected by public election in Jiangsu Province.

It is the first time in Jiangsu and even the whole country that cadres, especially the top leaders of county (city) governments, are elected publicly. This is not only a new attempt and breakthrough in deepening the reform of the cadre and personnel system, but also a promotion of democratic political construction.

China's first "elected" county magistrate was born in Pei County, Jiangsu Province.

Mayor Jintan, the first publicly elected mayor, was officially elected.

Hot comment:

"Blocked the road of officials, sealed the door of officials, and shattered the dreams of officials." In June this year, 5438+065438+ 10, a county party secretary in Xuzhou City, Jiangsu Province used these three sentences to describe Xuzhou's innovative work of "recommending Pei county magistrate".

From "elected officials" to "elected officials"

The positive significance of "public promotion and public election" to full-time work

Cold view:

The first "public election" was limited to the stage recommended by the party, and only one candidate was produced. In the subsequent elections, there was not much room for Pei County People's Congress deputies. However, even so, the significance of strengthening democratic participation in the process of recommendation within the party cannot be ignored.

Technical adjustment of the system of "public promotion and public election"

Jiangsu's "storm of official reform"

Nanjing will implement "administrative accountability system"

Shandong's "Administrative Accountability System": Civil Servants' Inaction is Excessive

Excessive reactive power.

Strict assessment of officials in administrative accountability system

Key areas: Changsha

The Interim Measures for the Administrative Accountability System of Changsha Municipal People's Government will be implemented on August 15, and the main administrative officials (including municipal government leaders) who fail to perform or improperly perform their statutory duties in the future will be investigated for administrative responsibility.

According to the "Measures", the situations in which the administrative accountability object should be investigated mainly include: false reporting, exaggeration or concealment, and late reporting causing adverse effects or work losses; The governance is lax, the upper layer conceals the problem, and the bottom layer covers up, protects and connives; Instructing or implying that subordinate departments or personnel abuse their powers and engage in malpractices for selfish ends; Failing to deal with all kinds of natural disasters, major accidents and epidemic prevention in a timely and effective manner according to the relevant regulations and the requirements of superiors, resulting in serious consequences or losses; Wait a minute.

Changsha officials who implement the administrative accountability system lament that officials are becoming more and more difficult.

Hot comment:

High pressure and sufficient motivation. This is the general feeling of Changsha cadres after implementing the "accountability system". City leaders believe that Changsha has taken the lead in implementing the "administrative accountability system" in the country, which has effectively promoted leading cadres to firmly establish the idea of "building the party for the public and governing for the people", enhance their sense of responsibility, and do practical and good things for the people in a down-to-earth manner.

Changsha's "Administrative Accountability System"

Cold view:

How to correct the distorted "way of being an official" and how to reconstruct the healthy "view of power" of officials? There is another thing hidden behind the administrative accountability system, that is, the "negative outlook on political achievements" of politicians: in the current reality of exercising power, it will be more pragmatic, valuable and conducive to the construction of social order to shape the "negative outlook on political achievements" of officials who "try their best to benefit the public".

"Administrative accountability system" and "negative outlook on political achievements"

Is it getting harder and harder to be an official?

"Resignation by taking the blame" refers to a system in which an official who has certain responsibilities or obligations announces his resignation because of his work mistakes, so as to be responsible to the society and at the same time show his understanding and punishment for his mistakes. There are two core problems in the resignation system. One is to have a "strange" and the other is to have a statement. Leading cadres have serious dereliction of duty or dereliction of duty, and although they have not violated the criminal law, they must take the blame and resign; Leading cadres who should resign but have not proposed are directly dismissed.

Officials should make decisions with the people.

Institutionalization of resignation of party and government cadres

Key areas: Sichuan

165438+1On October 20th, the Organization Department of Sichuan Provincial Party Committee announced that the Interim Measures for the Resignation of Leading Cadres of the Party and Government in Sichuan Province was officially promulgated, which clearly stipulated for the first time that leading cadres had serious dereliction of duty or dereliction of duty, even if they did not violate the criminal law, they must take the blame and resign. Leading cadres who should resign but have not proposed are directly dismissed. The promulgation of this "Measures" clearly stipulates that if a leading cadre has an accident within the scope of his duties, he will bear the corresponding responsibilities, and both organizations and individuals will be punished.

Party and government cadres: "Down with" those who are dissatisfied with mediocre people!

Hot comment:

Cadres can go up and down for many years, but in practice, "being able to go up and down" is a difficult problem that has long plagued the reform of the cadre system. In some places, the optimization of candidates is mostly patched up from the perspective of "being able to go up and down", and scientific institutional innovation is rarely carried out from the perspective of "being able to go up and down". Some cadres are dismissed as long as they don't violate the law and discipline, and as long as they are not old enough to die, their ranks will remain unchanged for life and their positions will be difficult to move. For a long time, the "ability" of cadres was deadlocked. The deadlock situation has led to an indisputable fact: the ranks of party and government organs and institutions waiting for promotion are getting longer and longer, there are fewer and fewer positions that can be promoted, and the chances of promotion through normal channels are getting smaller and smaller. As a result, over time, there have been officials who want to be officials, those who buy and sell officials, and those who cheat and kill officials.

Cold view:

It is not appropriate to "kill with a stick" after resigning.

Can the assessment of cadres be quantified?

Both the Electoral Law and the Representative Law clearly stipulate that deputies to the National People's Congress accept the supervision of voters. Voters have the right to recall their elected representatives according to law. Deputies to the National People's Congress perform their duties on behalf of the people's interests and will, and recall is a powerful means that the law gives voters the ability to supervise deputies to perform their duties. Experts believe that the "recall incident" in Shenzhen and the democratic appraisal of deputies by local people's congresses highlight the role of people's supervision in the work of deputies to the National People's Congress from the perspective of practice, which also puts forward a new topic for deputies to accept people's supervision.

Calling for voters' consciousness

Voters recall NPC deputies

Key areas: Zhuzhou, Shenzhen

On May 25th, 33 voters, including Huang Ke and Li Zheng, from Maling Community Neighborhood Committee in Nanshan District, Shenzhen, jointly sent a letter to the Standing Committee of Shenzhen Municipal People's Congress and Nanshan District People's Congress, demanding that Chen Huibin, the newly elected NPC deputy, be resolutely removed from the post of Nanshan District People's Congress Standing Committee. This is the first case in China where voters demanded the recall of deputies to the National People's Congress. Subsequently, voters in Shifeng District 102 Constituency 6 1 of Zhuzhou City, Hunan Province also jointly demanded the recall of the newly elected deputies to Shifeng District People's Congress in this constituency. In this regard, experts believe that "the pressure from voters will prompt NPC deputies to perform their duties more seriously."

Shenzhen ranks first in China. Voters want to recall the newly elected deputies to the National People's Congress.

A case in which voters removed deputies to the National People's Congress broke out in Hunan.

Hot comment:

The "recall event" is of special significance to promoting the construction of political civilization in China. "With the enhancement of voters' democratic consciousness, the demand for deputies to perform their duties according to their own wishes is getting stronger and stronger. Relatively speaking, the pressure on people's representatives to "represent and serve the people" will also increase. This is conducive to promoting the whole process of political democracy. "

Calling for voters' consciousness

Cold view:

Reflections on the event of voters' recall of deputies to the National People's Congress: recall is both a right and a supervision.

What is "official business"

"Officials and businessmen" have the dual identities of "officials" and "businessmen", and are both national civil servants and business operators. "Officials and businessmen" is the "power economy", which directly destroys the justice and fairness required by the market economy.

Break the dual identity

Civil servants have official difficulties and business difficulties.

Key areas: Sichuan

This year, Sichuan Province took decisive measures to completely separate government officials from businessmen, cleared up 423 "government officials and businessmen", abolished 25 documents allowing state civil servants to run enterprises through business, and abolished nearly 2,000 full-time secretaries of leading cadres in cities and counties throughout the province.

The comprehensive clean-up of "officials and businessmen" in Sichuan Province has aroused the concern of all walks of life and made people rethink the phenomenon of "officials and businessmen". The separation of "official" and "business" is very necessary for the country to move towards a market economy and deepen democratic political reform, and it is also a symbol of social progress. With the improvement of democracy and legal system in China, it is an inevitable trend to restrain and standardize the behavior of government workers from the height of law.

This year, Sichuan has cleared 423 government officials and businessmen and cancelled 2,000 full-time secretaries.

Hot comment:

In order to encourage the development of private economy, the policy of allowing civil servants to do business is unreasonable in law and morality. The so-called encouragement of the development of the private economy has actually caused more harm and unfair competition to the vast private economy, because after all, there are very few private enterprises that can attract government civil servants to do business together. At the same time, civil servants will apply government resources and power to personal business activities to a certain extent, which will drain the government resources belonging to all taxpayers and abuse the power given by taxpayers; On the other hand, it will aggravate the corruption of officials, seriously damage the image of the government and civil servants, and have a bad impact on society. Therefore, during their tenure, civil servants should be strictly prohibited from participating in any commercial activities.

The Future of "Officials and Businessmen" —— Perspective of "New Red Top Businessmen"

Cold view:

The purpose of "separation of government and business" is to separate "public rights" from "private interests" and prevent the combination of government and business from corroding government public rights and endangering market order. But in essence, this move only separates "post power" from "businessman" in form, and does not solve the problems caused by the symbolization of post power from the institutional arrangement.

Under the strict ban, civil servants can't do business, and neither can his wife? Can it be fake like a tiger? Of course, there are many such "husband and wife files" in reality. Husband is in politics, wife is in business, and wife shares enough power resources from the symbol of husband's position power to start a business. The intricate kinship provides enough "corruption attachments" for the extension of power symbols.

What is a supervisory hearing?

It refers to a system in which the legislature listens to the public's opinions on the implementation of laws or regulations, the implementation effect of administrative organs, and the revision and improvement of laws or regulations in the form of public meetings after the laws or regulations are passed, so as to provide a basis for legislative decision-making.

The procedure of the first meeting is as follows: after the hearing begins, first, citizens state their opinions; Followed by the debate and confrontation of views; Finally, the summary of the host. After the supervision hearing, a hearing report will be formed and submitted to the Standing Committee of the Municipal People's Congress for deliberation.

The public commented bluntly.

The National People's Congress held its first supervisory hearing.

Key areas: Guangzhou

On June 5438+February 10, the first regulatory hearing in Guangzhou was held, which was the first time in China. Different from the previous NPC law enforcement inspection, this supervision hearing allowed citizens to stand at the front desk of law enforcement supervision for the first time, face to face with government functional departments, publicly comment on the law enforcement situation of their own departments, and debate with functional departments.

Guangzhou citizens took to the front desk for the first time to comment on government law enforcement.

Supervision hearing: how did the government do it? The citizens commented bluntly.

Hot comment:

The supervision hearing will have three effects on NPC's performance of supervision function: First, it will make NPC's supervision more open. Second, it can make the supervision of NPC more social. Third, it can make the effectiveness of NPC supervision more prominent, and will greatly strengthen the supervision of administrative organs.

Supervise the hearing and realize sunshine supervision.

Cold view:

As an individual, the public can also supervise the government by complaining to the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, but such personal behavior may not start the supervision procedure. The supervision hearing itself is open to the public through the media. After the hearing, the hearing report will be submitted to the Standing Committee for deliberation. The Standing Committee can also make relevant resolutions on the problems found during the hearing and issue supervision opinions to the government, which has the legal effect of direct supervision. The key to the implementation of citizen supervision hearing system is to change "hearing without license, testifying without changing".

GDP and green GDP

GDP is the most important indicator to reflect the economic trend, but it does not deduct the losses caused by environmental pollution and waste of resources. In order to correct this defect, the World Bank launched the "Green GDP National Economic Accounting System" in 1997 to measure the real national wealth of countries after deducting the losses of natural assets (including the environment). The higher the proportion of green GDP to GDP, the higher the positive effect of national economic growth and the lower the negative effect, and vice versa.

It is reported that the green GDP accounting system is being jointly solved by the National Bureau of Statistics and the State Environmental Protection Administration. The green GDP accounting system will be linked to the current cadre assessment system.

People's livelihood is paramount.

Cadre assessment downplays GDP and is linked to green GDP.

Key areas: Huzhou

On February 9, 65438, the Opinions on Improving the Annual Comprehensive Assessment of Counties and Districts, which was discussed and adopted by the Standing Committee of Huzhou Municipal Committee, clearly stipulated that the GDP index that had been used for many years should be abolished and the comprehensive and coordinated development of economy and society should be paid attention to, especially the actual achievements in people's living standards and quality.

At the same time, Pan Yue, deputy director of the State Environmental Protection Administration, revealed yesterday that "the green GDP accounting system is being jointly tackled by the National Bureau of Statistics and the State Environmental Protection Administration. The green GDP accounting system after the introduction will be connected with the current cadre assessment system. "

This information reflects that the assessment of cadres' political achievements is paying more and more attention to "all-round development", and simple economic growth is not enough. Many indicators neglected in the past, such as society, humanities, basic education, public facilities, energy consumption, environmental ecology, etc., will be added to the assessment criteria.

Emphasize the all-round development of Huzhou cadres' performance appraisal and downplay GDP.

Hunan assessment cadres brew new standards to avoid one-sided pursuit of GDP growth

China's green GDP accounting system is linked to the cadre assessment system.

Hot comment:

A new cadre appraisal system is brewing: should GDP be decoupled from performance appraisal?

It is of far-reaching significance for Zhejiang Huzhou assessment officials to cancel the GDP index.

Cold view:

Not only use GDP to assess cadres, but also use other indicators. As long as there are numbers, they may be falsified. We think it is important to evaluate what, but how to evaluate it is more critical. Local officials are honest and capable, and local people can see it most clearly. To stop leaders at all levels from practicing fraud in figures, we should not only strengthen the inspection by superiors to subordinates, but also strengthen the supervision by auditing, discipline inspection and supervision over relevant departments, and give full play to the role of people's evaluation officials and supervision officials by deputies to the National People's Congress.

It may lead to irrational pursuit of political achievements. Green GDP alone is not enough.

Should GDP be linked to official achievements?

Where do the rich with an annual income of 65438+ 10,000 go with the villagers' election?

Choosing a village official is also disrespecting the poor and loving the rich.

The newly rich village officials lead the rural areas to become rich.

Key areas: Changchun

An individual and private entrepreneur from Mengjia Village, Lanjia Town, Changchun City, Jilin Province participated in the election of the director of the village committee. Three years ago, he was too rich to compete for a "moral authority" in the village. Three years later, the villagers' votes made this "economic talent" with both ability and political integrity win. Experts believe that choosing the rich as their "rulers" shows that farmers' new moral concepts are taking shape: from simply pursuing "moral authority" to seeking moral fashion and economic development.

Rich people elected as village officials: "economic talents" challenge "moral authority"

Hot comment:

Some individual and private owners with assets of hundreds of thousands, millions or even tens of millions of yuan entered the village Committee in the "sea election". They are eager to get close to the party organization and take charge of village management according to the party's work priorities. At the same time, I do not hesitate to invest a lot of personal funds in the construction of "village administration" for free to realize my political ambitions. While they are enriching the villagers, the pure moral authority followed by rural generations is challenged, and a "new moral concept" characterized by moral fashion and economic development is taking shape. Experts believe that this is a new phenomenon in rural areas of China. These "new wealth" are the representatives of advanced productive forces in rural areas, which will greatly promote rural economic development and social progress.

What did the newly rich village officials bring?

Cold view:

Investigation and thinking on the phenomenon of "the richest group" running for "village official"

It is understood that at present, the press spokesman system of the central and state organs and provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government has been basically established. By timely informing the press of major decisions or major work arrangements made by government departments, important or unexpected events and situations closely related to people's lives, news spokespersons will help to block the "gossip" that spreads false information and even embellishes it, and open up a broad source of information for the public.

Press spokesman system

The press spokesman system is a system in which the government or government agencies introduce government policies to the media and the public, inform the real situation of an event, explain the position, principles and policies adopted by the government or government agencies on an event and a problem, and answer questions from the media. The press spokesman system has long been an "international practice". 1983, China began to establish a government spokesperson system. Over the past 20 years, the spokesmen of China government departments have shown the world a good image of China by providing authoritative information to the media in various countries, so that the world can fully understand China.

Transparency of public opinions

A spokesman for the provincial government appeared.

Key areas: Shanghai

This year's SARS storm, for the first time, let us feel that the spokesperson system has deeply affected our daily life.

On June 3rd, the Shanghai Municipal Government officially announced the establishment of a press spokesman system. The first two spokesmen appeared in front of more than 100 domestic and foreign journalists and held a press conference. This is also the first time that the spokesperson system has officially "landed" in local governments in domestic provinces and cities.

Du Jiahao, Secretary-General of the Shanghai Municipal Government, said that the purpose of establishing the press spokesman system is to create an open and transparent information environment and provide standardized news services for Chinese and foreign journalists. At the same time, this is also a concrete measure taken by the Shanghai municipal government to more fully protect the people's right to know, so as to better realize the public's supervision over government work.

It is reported that Guangdong, Yunnan, Anhui, Chongqing, Fujian, Shandong, Henan, Jilin, Nanjing, Xi and other provinces and cities have established or will soon establish a press spokesman system.

Hot comment:

The government spokesman system has taken the "first step" in the disclosure of official information.

Cold view:

Although the spokesperson system has many advantages, many people still express their concerns: Mao Shoulong, a professor at Renmin University, said: "Will the establishment of such a system become a' shield' and be used by individual departments in individual places to block news? On the one hand, it may prevent journalists from "digging out" news facts, and it may also eliminate its influence by means of powerful news release after journalists "dig out" the truth. Therefore, there must be a good information disclosure system, supplemented by the implementation of the press spokesman system. Otherwise it may just become a facade. "

This kind of worry is not groundless. While the news spokesman system has been established one after another, incidents of "blocking" journalists or news organizations have occurred from time to time.
