Jiang Enzhu, spokesman for the second session of the 10th
National People's Congress (NPC), said Thursday that the Chinese
legislature would continue to support the country's anti-graft
campaign with more legislation aimed at preventing and eliminating
corruption.
"While checking the sources of corruption through legislation,
the NPC will also strengthen its supervision on governments, courts
and procuratorates," said Jiang Enzhu at a press conference on the
NPC session slated to open in Beijing Friday.
The top legislative body has revised the country's Criminal Law
to provide a legal guarantee for the fight against corruption, and
has enacted laws such as the Administrative Review Law, Government
Procurement Law and Administrative Licensing Law to normalize
government behavior, said Jiang.
"The people's congresses could also fulfill its duty of
supervision on governments, courts and procuratorates by means of
making inquiries, making comments and carrying out law enforcement
inspections," he said. "We'll also strengthen our efforts to
examine government reports and step up supervision on budget
reports to help government exert administrative power according to
law."
