Minister of Science and Technology becomes Hanoi chairman
Minister of Science and Technology and the Deputy Secretary of the Hanoi City Party Committee Chu Ngoc Anh has been voted as the chairman of the City People's Committee, replacing former chairman Nguyen Duc Chung.
On September 18, the politburo of Vietnam assigned Chu Ngoc Anh as the Deputy Secretary of Hanoi Party Committee. He is currently Minister of Science and Technology and will hold the post until the National Assembly’s meeting in October when he will be relieved of the post.
Anh said this is a huge honour and responsibility. "I will work for the common good and unite with the party committee to make a stronger and more transparent committee," he said.
On August 11, the politburo suspended Nguyen Duc Chung from all of the posts including the deputy secretary of Hanoi Party Committee. Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc announced that Chung was suspended from the position of the chairman of Hanoi People's Committee for the investigation for his involvement in accounting irregularities, money laundering and serious violations of bidding regulations at local firm Nhat Cuong Mobile and the Hanoi People’s Committee’s mismanagement of state assets.
On August 28, Chung was detained for four months for “appropriating documents containing state secrets."
Chu Ngoc Anh was born in 1965 in Ba Vi District, Hanoi. He was a lecturer at Hanoi University of Science and Technology. He had worked at the Posts and Telecommunications Institute of Technology and the State Agency for Technology Innovation.
In 2013, he became the chairman of Phu Tho Province People's Committee. He was the Deputy Minister of Science and Technology in 2015 and the minister in 2016.
