It is precisely because of the weaknesses and weaknesses of human nature that a sound supervision mechanism is extremely important.
Because of a game card that was speculated to more than 87 million yuan, the embezzlement case of Zhang Yujie, a "post-95" in Chuzhou, Anhui Province, has attracted the attention of the whole network. On the evening of January 19, the propaganda department of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervision Commission and the Central Radio and Television Corporation jointly produced the fifth episode of the TV special "Zero Tolerance," "Forever on the Road," which disclosed Zhang Yujie's case in detail.
A game card, which was speculated to a sky-high price of more than 87 million yuan, is really magical. Judging from CCTV reports, Zhang Yujie, the original owner of this game card, also has a rather magical life of corruption - as a staff member of the Real Estate Registration Center of Chuzhou City, Anhui Province, Zhang Yujie embezzled more than 400 public funds in the three years from 2016 to 2019, and successively embezzled more than 69 million yuan of public funds.
How did Zhang Yujie do it? Originally, his duty was to handle the custody of the funds for buying a house, but by chance, he did not hand over the buyer's house payment to the designated escrow account, but deposited it into his own card, and finally embezzled it. Since then, Zhang Yujie's behavior of using his position to embezzle public funds has become unmanageable.
Zhang Yujie is different from some other corrupt people, he uses public funds to spend in the game, uses virtual property to fill the gap of desire, in order to paralyze himself, and even his first embezzlement of public funds is to recharge the game. Facing the camera, Zhang Yujie confessed, "Hate yourself, why can't you resist the temptation?" "A small grassroots clerk embezzled so much public funds, to put it bluntly, because his position is directly related to money, and the corresponding regulatory links have been lost layer by layer, leaving him with loopholes in the drill camp."
Therefore, when Zhang Yujie reflects on why he lacks concentration, we should also further ask why the supervision mechanism for such key positions is useless, so that a grass-roots clerk has turned the authority of serving the people into a cash-out tool.
The report mentioned a key detail, the custody of funds originally had a strict process, which required layers of review and signature. However, in the relevant local departments, the supervision and checks and balances mechanism of three-level audit and three-level signature has been completely idle, and the deputy director of the real estate registration center even believes that "this kind of review is meaningless." It is also the lack of review that makes Zhang Yujie have the possibility of embezzlement.
In three years, more than 400 public funds have been embezzled, and such frequent shots have not been discovered, which in itself is an explanation - for posts with a high risk of corruption, it is precisely the failure of the supervision mechanism that has created a case of "petty officials and huge corruption".
At present, these public officials with supervisory and management responsibilities have also been punished accordingly for dereliction of duty and dereliction of duty. Zero tolerance for corruption is the last line of defense to guard incorruptibility. Zhang Yujie's story also shows that once the fence of supervision and management has an opening, small grass-roots employees may also cause serious consequences of huge property losses and endless harm.
In the movie "Private Order", Fan Wei has a classic line, "I want to challenge my weakness." For ordinary people, in the face of the temptation of great wealth, it is not an easy task to be able to restrain desires and temptations. It is precisely because of the weaknesses and weaknesses of human nature that a sound supervision mechanism is extremely important at the level of power operation.
Those public officials who hold power, no matter the size of the power, every step of the exercise of public power, are exposed to the sun, subject to the supervision of no dead ends, and the greedy beast in the depths of the heart will not be released.
