【新唐人2011年11月24日訊】中共國務院法制辦近期公布《機關事務管理條例》徵求意見稿,其中規定縣級以上政府必須定期公開「三公」支出,禁止奢侈和浪費。學者指出,根本制度不變,特權得不到遏制,一切法律條文都不能起真正作用,也不能達到真正的監督目地。
國務院法制辦21號就《機關事務管理條例(徵求意見稿)》徵求社會意見。意見稿規定,縣級以上政府應當定期公布公務接待費、公務用車購置和運行費、因公出國費等經費的預算、決算、績效考評情況。
公務接待、公務用車和因公出國,這 「三公」的龐大政府支出,超出很多老百姓的想像。
2006年,國家行政學院教授竹立家曾在《學習時報》發文明確指出:政府部門每年的公車消費、公款吃喝、公費出國三項支出就高達9000億元之巨。
現國務院法制辦以條例形式約束三公,能起多大作用?
時評作家劉逸明認為,國務院法制辦的舉措,效果很有限。
劉逸明:「因為權利不受制約,所以很多人沒法律意識。即使新出臺遏制三公消費的規定,以後濫用公款的事情還會繼續存在。因為老百姓和媒體沒有監督權,而官員的權利又不是來源於老百姓,這就導致再多的規定、再好的規定都無法達到預期的效果。」
而中國問題學家鞏勝利則認為,中共國務院的政策是受國際大環境的逼迫所為。現在全世界都是陽光化政府,中共政府要在國際立足,需要表面上的文章。
鞏勝利:「從根源是沒有辦法解決的,因為中國實行的是一黨領導下的政府,62年來到現在一直沒有任何成效,現在一朝措施出手就改天換地恐怕就難了。黨的經費開支62年從來沒有公開過,政府先公開、先見陽光化,它也是做一些形式,以應付大形勢吧。」
北京理工大學胡星斗教授指出,中共政府成本佔總財政支出的40%左右,而在歐美國家這個比例最多也就不超過10%,這樣高的政府成本必然導致民生艱難。
近年來曝出的連串事件也佐證了公款吃喝的「瘋狂」:華聲網友論壇2009年曝光江蘇省江陰周莊醫院院長一頓飯消費5586元、網友在天涯雜談發文,2010年3月8號,東莞市中堂鎮一次政府接待用餐花費32436元,並列出了帳單、也有網民今年2月微博爆料:「上海市盧灣區紅十字會公款一餐花費 9859元,等等幾近瘋狂的消費。
廣西網路自由作家荊楚表示,三公消費越來越膨脹、越來越奢華,而病症在特權沒有制衡,有權的人無所忌憚。媒體不開放,腐敗行為得不到揭露,公眾不知情,貪官更囂張。
荊楚:「不改變官僚特權體制,以這種方式抑制三公消費沒效的。最關鍵的問題,官員由老百姓來選,第二個是媒體放開,這些三公消費允許媒體去批評、去揭露,這樣子能得到有效的抑制。」
荊楚表示,腐敗已深入中共的骨髓,中共不惜殺人也得保護它的特權,保護它那掠奪老百姓的制度。
荊楚:「鄧小平他們講過這樣一句話:不反腐敗亡國,反腐敗亡黨。他們要保持共產黨的特權利益,他們不願意亡黨,要保持他們對老百姓的掠奪。像6.4要求民主,他竟然用機槍坦克來對付。你想想他們內心深處有多麼的恐慌,多麼的邪惡。」
鞏勝利也指出,中共政權下憲法要求的是:黨領導下的人民代表大會,他說,這種環境只能是一黨專政。而憲法不變,其他都不可能改變。

Surface Politics: New Spending Rules for Officials
China』s State Council Legislative Affairs Office recently
published a draft bill of Government Offices Regulations (GOR).
The bill requires that local governments above the county level
must publicize its three major expenses, avoiding luxury and waste.
Scholars point out that without changing the basic system,
the privileges are not eliminated; no regulation will work nor effective monitoring system.
The State Council』s draft bill says that the government above
the county level should publicize its expenditures in three areas:
official reception costs; official vehicles purchasing costs;
operation costs, including costs associated with going abroad,
then submit a final account and evaluation of their achievement.
The costs in three areas are huge expenses for the government,
which are beyond many people』s imagination.
In 2006, Zhu Lijia published an article in the Study Times
that showed that the government spent RMB 900 billion yuan
(US$142 billion) in the three areas such as cars, meals,
and overseas visits.
The State Council tries to control costs with the GOR,
but will that work?
Commentary writer, Liu Yiming, said that
the effects will be limited.
Liu Yiming: “Because people』s rights are restricted,
many people do not have a sense of a government Constitution.
Even if new regulations are introduced,
the wild spending of public funds will continue, because civilians and the media can』t supervise officials.
However, since the official』s rights are not granted by civilians,
no matter how many regulations they make and how good they are, in the end, nothing will be achieved."
Chinese expert, Gong Shengli, believes that
the international environment forced the State Council to make
some policy changes because most of the world』s governments
are open governments.
If the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) wants to gain respect,
in the international community, they』ll do something on the surface.
Gong Shengli: “There is no way to solve fundamental problems,
as the CCP is a dictatorial regime, and as such, it its 62-year reign, it has not made even one contribution to society.
How can they change everything overnight,
by drafting the GOR? The CCP』s expenses had never been publicised in 62 years.
They』ll begin to publicize some governmental expenses,
but this is a showcase performance to the international community.
Hu Xingdou, professor of Beijing Institute of Technology,
points out that the CCP governmental cost accounts for 40% of the country』s total expenditure.
However, the European and the U.S. governmental costs
total less than 10%.
The high cost of running the CCP regime
leads to untold miseries for the civilian population.
Here are a few examples of some the officials』 use of public funds
for meals: In 2009, a Voice of Chinese user forum exposed
the fact that the head of Zhouzhuang hospital in Jiangyin
spent RMB 5,586 yuan ($879) for dinner.
Another netizen posted a bill on March 8, 2010, showing an
official reception dinner cost of RMB 32,436 yuan ($5,109) in Zhongtang county, Dongguan.
In February, a netizen posted a dinner bill of RMB 9859 yuan
($1,553) by the Shanghai Luwan district Red Cross.
Guangxi freelance Internet writer, Jing Chu, said that
officials were spending more and more public funds in three areas,
and that the leading cause was official 『privileges』
which go unmonitored.
Those who have these privileges care about nothing else.
The media has no freedom of speech;
official』s corrupt behaviour cannot be exposed,
and the public doesn』t know the truth. These are the leading causes of corruption.
Jing Chu: “Without changing the privileged system of officials,
new regulations drafted to control the use of public funds will fail.
The most critical issue is to elect official by civilians,
and to free up the media,
allowing it to freely criticise and expose official corruption.
Then, it will work."
Jing Chu said that corruption has infiltrated the CCP.
Yet, the CCP doesn』t care to spend a dime fighting it.
They only want to protect their system and rob the people.
Jing Chu: “Deng Xiaoping said, 『Anti-corruption
does not destroy the country; it destroys the party.』"
The CCP wants to maintain its interests, it doesn』t want to
destroy itself, it just wants to loot the people.
Like what happened in Tiananmen Square on June 4,1989,
they used guns and tanks to kill innocent people.
You can imagine how much they must fear their own evilness,
deep in the recesses of their collective warped mind.
Gong Shengli points out that the CCP』s Constitution required
that all officials must be placed under the leadership of the Party Congress.
Such a situation can only be a one-party dictatorship.
Without changing the Constitution, other areas can』t be changed.
