Stop the hidden danger of corruption from the cigarette card

　　"Boss, do you have a cigarette card here?" After the National Day, the staff of the Supervision Committee of the Commission for Discipline Inspection of Changzhou City, Jiangsu Province came to a tobacco and liquor store in Lucheng Street for an unannounced visit.

　　"I used to, but now I don’t." The shop assistant pointed to the "proposal for refusing to sell cigarette cards" and the "promise not to sell cigarette cards and accept social supervision" signs posted in the eye-catching position in the store and said, "It is not allowed to sell."

　　This is the result of Changzhou’s special rectification from the tobacco card corruption cases investigated before. Things have to start from last year. The Supervision Committee of the Changzhou Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection took lien measures against Gu Moumou, the former secretary of the Party Working Committee of the High-tech Zone. Among them, the confession about the cigarette card caught the attention of the case handlers: "From 2005 to 2018, before the Spring Festival every year, Wan Moumou will give me 200,000 yuan in cash or a cigarette card worth 200 cigarettes."

　　According to Gu Moumou, because of the strict management in recent years and the hidden cigarette cards, after 2015, Wan Moumou changed from sending cash to sending cigarette cards. Each of these cigarette cards indicated the variety and quantity of cigarettes. Since the cigarette card can be converted into cash, Gu Moumou did not get the cigarette but directly converted it into cash. In August this year, Gu Moumou was sentenced to 10 years in prison for accepting bribes. Among the money obtained from accepting bribes, cigarette cards totaled more than 490,000 yuan.

　　According to statistics, Changzhou investigated and dealt with 41 cases involving tobacco card corruption last year, all of which involved tobacco card corruption. In the first year of this year, the Supervision Committee of Changzhou Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection took the lead in organizing self-examination, self-correction, cross-examination and unannounced visits on the issue of illegal receipt and delivery of cigarettes (cards) by various departments (units) at all levels and cadres in party member. A total of 273 cigarette cards were handed in by 72 cadres from 29 units, and 1,296,300 yuan of illegal funds were returned.

　　In order to solve this problem from the source, the Supervision Committee of Changzhou Commission for Discipline Inspection keeps a close eye on the main responsible departments such as market supervision and management, tobacco monopoly, etc., and innovatively uses the working mechanism of "five orders and five transformations". By formulating task lists, listing assignment lists, issuing notices, filling in feedback lists, and issuing suggestions, the supervision content is projectized, the supervision subject is clear, the supervision matters are precise, the supervision quality is scientific, and the supervision results are long-lasting.

　　In the shopping malls, supermarkets and tobacco hotels with tobacco retail monopoly licenses in Changzhou, the reporter saw the posted "Proposal on Special Rectification of Illegal Selling and Over-quota Selling of Tobacco Cards in Tobacco Hotels" and "Promise not to sell tobacco cards and accept social supervision" signs. At the urging of the discipline inspection and supervision organs at all levels, the regulatory authorities have also established files for these market sales subjects. Changzhou Tobacco Monopoly Bureau has promulgated the Administrative Measures for Stopping the Supply of Illegal Selling of Cigarette Cards, which will punish those who break their promises and violate the rules for one month. If the situation is serious, the cigarette business qualification will be cancelled, and the administrative punishment information will be pushed to the Municipal Credit Office for joint punishment.

　　According to reports, through a period of rectification, tobacco card management has achieved initial results. At the same time, the "five orders and five transformations" working mechanism formed by tobacco card governance has also effectively promoted the rectification of the special struggle against evil and the feedback of environmental supervision.
