On December 6, in Nantong, Jiangsu Province, several people wearing city uniforms surrounded the elderly with sugar cane, which caused heated discussion.
That night, the place of the incident issued a statement saying that the uniformed personnel were personnel of the local city appearance service outsourcing company, and the Houhaimen District Government stated that the District Discipline Inspection Commission had intervened to investigate the matter.
With the deepening of the investigation, the media has made new discoveries: according to Red Star News, in April this year, the company involved signed a commission agreement with the Haimen Street Office of Haimen District to contract the urban appearance and environmental management project, with a total cost of more than 24.37 million yuan. The project has been complained of unfair competition by bidders.
The old man was surrounded by the "Jingtong City Appearance" personnel
The District Discipline Inspection Commission intervened in the investigation
The media video footage shows that an old man in Nantong, Jiangsu Province, riding a bicycle along the street to sell sugarcane, was surrounded by the city appearance management personnel, and all the sugarcane on the car was snatched away, and the old man cried urgently.
In this regard, the granddaughter of the elderly said that she was worried about her grandfather's physical and mental condition and felt that the management practice was too rough, "Do these personnel have the right to confiscate sugar cane, so it is not considered violent law enforcement." ”
On the evening of the 6th, the Samsung Town Government issued a situation notice saying: After verification, the personnel of the third-party city appearance company who purchased services for the town in security uniforms undertook the work related to the city appearance management according to the contract. The on-site disposal process is simple and rough, and at present, the town has suspended the work of the company's relevant responsible personnel and held accountable in accordance with regulations.
At noon on December 7, the official microblog of the Propaganda Department of the Haimen Municipal Party Committee of Jiangsu Province, "Haimen Release", reported the handling of the incident: the District Discipline Inspection Commission intervened in the investigation and launched an accountability procedure against the relevant responsible persons in Samsung Town; the Samsung Town Government went to the door to apologize to the elderly; terminated cooperation with Nantong Jingtong City Appearance Management Co., Ltd., blacklisted the company, and punished it accordingly according to the contract.
On the afternoon of the 7th, the relevant government personnel have paid the money and returned the detained sugar cane, and accepted the results of the treatment.
The contracting fee of third-party companies is more than 20 million yuan
Bidders have sued for unfair competition
On the morning of the 7th, Jimu News interviewed Mr. Zhang, the person in charge of the company involved, who said that before, the elderly had sold sugar cane along the street many times, and the administrator had repeatedly dissuaded it from being ineffective. Before the suspension, the administrator also told the old man where to deal with the matter.
Mr. Zhang said that at the local farmers' market, some farmers have reserved self-produced and self-selling areas, and there is no booth fee. In order to sell more sugar cane, the old man still rode a bicycle to sell it on the street. They only have a temporary withhold of sugar cane, etc., as long as the old man writes a letter of guarantee not to sell it along the street, they will return the sugar cane to the old man.
For this explanation, some netizens said that if the facts are really so, it can be understood. But there are still netizens who question whether it, as an outsourcing company, has the right to confiscate the personal belongings of the elderly. Some people even said that even if the original intention is good, violent law enforcement cannot be recognized anywhere.
Further media investigations have raised new questions about the company.
According to Red Star News, in April this year, Jiangsu Jingtong City Appearance Management Service Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Jiangsu Jingtong City Appearance Company"), which belongs to the "Jingtong City Appearance" personnel, signed a commission agreement with the Haimen Street Office of Haimen District to contract the city appearance environmental management project, with a total cost of more than 24.37 million yuan.
According to the entrustment agreement, the content of entrusted management includes the daily management of urban appearance and environmental sanitation in the jurisdiction area, such as cross-store business, random stalls, random stacking, random hanging, random construction on the street, random graffiti (random posting, etc.), random advertising, daily management of fumes in the catering industry, and inspection after the signing of the door responsibility of shops or units. The agreement also mentions that the entrusted party is also responsible for assisting the urban management law enforcement department to carry out relevant administrative acts, discouraging violations of laws and regulations, and urging the parties to carry out rectification.
The reporter noted that the city appearance service outsourcing project had previously been reported by another bidding company for unfair competition. The complainant, Mr. Chen, told reporters that he believes that the bidding documents are tendentious and "equivalent to tailor-made for the other party (Jiangsu Jingtong Company), so he can win the bid." ”
According to the Jiangsu government purchase service information platform, on June 11, 2021, the Haimen District Finance Bureau issued the "Announcement on the Handling Results of Government Procurement Complaints of the Haimen District Finance Bureau 3", which was a complaint by Nantong Ali Property Management Co., Ltd. about the Haimen District Haimen Street Office and related suppliers Jiangsu Jingtong City Appearance Company and another company.
So far, the parties have not responded to this report.
Quick comments The old man selling sugar cane is "rounded up": the third party is not a universal back pot man
Violent law enforcement is also a third party. In the field of administrative law enforcement, there have been countless similar bridges in the past, and third parties, together with temporary workers and outsourcing, have become the standard for violent law enforcement, and whenever there is a public opinion incident, it is inevitable to be pulled out to "block the gun".
In the briefing, a third-party statement, plus a sentence of accountability according to the regulations, seems to be serious rectification, but in fact it is not painful, and the sentence avoids the crux of the problem: who gave them the right to "outsource" administrative law enforcement. Fool the learner, but so.
The complexity of urban management is understandable, and hiring a security company is a routine operation. But the problem is that outsourcing is not no matter where the management boundary is, how to divide the rights and responsibilities, how to build a professional team, these are all problems that should be understood before outsourcing, how should not be paid to do the hand-shaking treasurer, while holding chicken feathers as arrows. The matter of violent law enforcement cannot be counted as fifty boards each.
Public opinion continued to ferment, and on December 7, the district discipline inspection commission intervened in the investigation and launched accountability procedures for the main government leaders, leaders in charge, the heads of the urban management squadron, and the responsible persons of the urban management area in Samsung Town. Follow-up processing can not be without the following, the outside world expects a clear result, but also needs a clear answer.
