Work stepped up

The Supreme People's Procuratorate has ordered prosecuting departments nationwide to enhance work to prevent duty-related crimes, according to a notice it issued on Monday.

The notice said the departments will work closely with relevant administrative authorities to protect the safety of government investment, and take the initiative in following up and monitoring construction of major projects.

Priority will go to projects with large-scale investment, especially ones of great significance in maintaining economic growth, to ensure they remain safe and corruption-free, said Song Hansong, director of the duty-related crimes prevention department under the SPP.
