Vietnam Politburo member removed over 'serious mistakes'

HANOI, Vietnam (AP) — A senior Vietnamese Communist Party official has been removed from the powerful Politburo for committing "very serious mistakes and violations" when he was head of the country's oil and gas monopoly PetroVietnam. While leading PetroVietnam between 2009 and 2011, Thang committed serious violations in his leadership, command and staff works, "sparking annoyance among officials, party members and people," the party statement said. Economist Le Danh Doanh, former head of a government economic think tank, said the party's efforts to fight corruption and restore trust should go along with institutional reforms for power oversight.
