The decision issued Thursday said the successor to Nguyen Viet Tien, the former Deputy Minister of Transport, would be appointed by the Ministry of Transport.
The Communist Party Secretariat issued a dispatch on August 12 instructing the government to sack Tien in light of previous irresponsibility, which caused dire consequences for an ODA management related to Project Management Unit 18 (PMU18).
PMU18 is entrusted by the Ministry of Transport with managing the construction of highways, bridges and other infrastructure projects.
The Secretariat dispatch also bars Tien from holding any posts in the Communist Party Unit of the Ministry of Transport, but his Party membership will remain intact.
