2017考研趣味閱讀：遏制“后院腐敗”

According to People's Daily, of the 34 ministerial and higher-level government officials under investigation by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection of the Communist Party of China, the violations of the law and Party discipline of at least 21 of them involve their relatives. And half of them have taken advantage of their positions to help the businesses of their relatives. People's Daily has termed this kind of phenomenon "backyard corruption".

據(jù)《人民日報》報道稱，中紀委公布去年被查處的34名部級及以上領(lǐng)導(dǎo)干部中，有21人的違法違紀涉及親屬，其中一半以上屬于利用職務(wù)上的便利為親屬經(jīng)營活動謀取利益。《人民日報》將這樣的現(xiàn)象稱為“后院腐敗”。

“后院腐敗”(backyard corruption)，這里的后院指的是政府官員的家人、親屬，也就是指涉及家人、親屬的腐敗現(xiàn)象。

近年來，家族式腐敗(family corruption)屢見不鮮。一些官員的親屬，利用官員的政治影響力(political influence)謀取非法利益(made illegal profits)。一些領(lǐng)導(dǎo)也會落入“親情陷阱”(fall into the trap of kinship)，有些領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人也會從親屬經(jīng)營活動收受賄賂。

為了遏制“后院腐敗”，官員要經(jīng)常提醒自己不為親情所誤，決不能縱容親屬“靠山吃山、靠水吃水”。同時要加強監(jiān)督(strengthen supervision)，對領(lǐng)導(dǎo)干部配偶、子女及其配偶經(jīng)商辦企業(yè)行為，應(yīng)當加以規(guī)范。加強領(lǐng)導(dǎo)干部向黨申報個人有關(guān)事項制度(Regulations that government officials should report personal affairs to the Party should be strengthened)。
