Quake zones seek effective supervision over aid
(Xinhua)
Updated: 2009-05-08 22:12 Up to 95.7 percent of the reconstruction for rural houses had started, 76.6 percent of which had been finished, according to Mu. Ningqiang County in Shaanxi Province, also badly damaged in the quake, sent off patrolling vehicles on the street to receive public reports over suspected misuse of reconstruction funds or corruption on May 30 last year.
Public clues helped to retrieve 2,400 yuan from unqualified aid accepters last year and responsible officials were punished. Liu Jiayi, the head of China's National Audit Office (CNAO), pledged in a press release in February to step up supervision over the 4 trillion yuan stimulus fund, one fourth of which is designed for quake-zone recovery. The CNAO was focused on checking the quality, fund management and land use of reconstruction projects in quake-stricken Sichuan Province, said Zhang.
