"I thought I was just a traffic coordinator, occasionally taking a loophole and no one would pay attention to me. Now it seems that it's all because of my weak legal awareness and greed for petty gains, which not only has caused a negative impact on the unit, but also harmed me." After accepting the organization's review and investigation, Li Zhongya, former traffic coordinator of the Road Administration Management Brigade of the Chenggong District Transportation Bureau in Kunming City, Yunnan Province, deeply regrets.
In September 2022, the Discipline Inspection Commission and Supervision Commission of Chenggong District discovered clues about Miao, a party member of Xiazhuang Community in Yuhua Street, who was suspected of serious violations of discipline and law, bribing Li Zhongya, a traffic assistant of the Road Administration Management Brigade of Chenggong District Transportation Bureau.
As the investigation deepens, a chain of interests hidden behind the transportation bureau coordinators and earthwork owners gradually emerges.
According to investigators, Li Zhongya began working as a traffic coordinator in the Road Administration Management Brigade of the Chenggong District Transportation Bureau at the end of 2008, participating in road patrols and investigating overloading and exceeding limits. He is a person entrusted by the administrative agency to engage in official duties. But Li Zhongya took advantage of his position to seek personal gain and received bribes of 180000 yuan.
In the first half of 2020, Li Zhongya inspected the overloading of vehicles at the Chenggong Sanlu Highway Road Administration Monitoring Station. At that time, the road administration team did not set up mobile detection points and could only conduct fixed inspections at monitoring stations. Mr. Miao, a certain boss, wants to transport soil to the Zhaojiashan landfill. The convoy must load and transport according to transportation standards. If it is overloaded, it will be punished by passing through the monitoring station. In order to avoid fines during overloaded transportation, Miao approached Li Zhongya and asked if he had any "good ideas" or "good solutions".
Due to long-term assistance to formal staff in dealing with overloaded vehicles in the past, Li Zhongya was very familiar with the inspection work and local situation. He learned that there was a road in the area that could avoid the investigation of the road management team. He suggested that Miao's team take a detour along the route to the inspection station, and the two even drove to inspect the new "route" in person. After the incident, Li Zhongya demanded a benefit fee of 80000 yuan from Miao.
At the same time, my friend Yang called Li Zhongya to inquire whether he could also dump soil at the Zhaojiashan landfill where his boss Miao dumped it, but dumping soil at the landfill would incur a fee. Li Zhongya greeted Miao, who, in order to repay Li Zhongya's favor, agreed to allow Yang to dump the soil for free and transfer the profit from the soil dumping fee to Li Zhongya. Yang, in gratitude for Li Zhongya's help, gave him 100000 yuan per car based on the standard of 180 yuan per car.
In response to the issues exposed in the case, the Chenggong District Supervision Commission issued a supervision recommendation to the District Transportation Bureau, suggesting that Li Zhongya, who is suspected of bribery, be given the right to terminate his labor contract. At the same time, the unit is urged to solidly carry out the work of warning and promoting reform through the case.
After investigation, Li Zhongya took advantage of his position to receive a total of 180000 yuan in property from others. In November 2022, Li Zhongya was expelled from the party. In March 2023, Li Zhongya was sentenced to two years in prison, suspended for two years and six months, and fined RMB 130000 for the crime of bribery. His illegal gains were confiscated and turned over to the national treasury.
The person in charge of the Transportation Bureau of Chenggong District stated that they will strengthen the education of party spirit and discipline, guide cadres and employees to effectively build the ideological barrier of "not wanting to be corrupt", and strengthen the education, management, and supervision of all cadres and employees, including temporary employees.
