Experts say the Party's promulgation of four documents on the selection and promotion of government and Party cadres will build a "total supervisory network" and cover the entire process of an official's career, from selection to retirement.
The four documents, promulgated Wednesday by the General Office of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, cover the selection and auditing of officials and set out penalties for those found guilty of misconduct in the selection and promotion of government and Party cadres.
Prof. Ye Duchu of the Party School of the CPC Central Committee said the documents "clarify the responsibilities of people in charge of selecting officials" and aim to prevent corruption and make the cadre selection process transparent.
Personnel departments at various levels are required to report personnel changes to superior departments before official appointments are made, and the appointments should be discussed by members of CPC committees of the same level.
Officials are also required to be audited before leaving their posts and penalized if they are found to be guilty of misconduct.
The selection and promotion of officials have been prone to public criticism in some areas.
