HBA Chairman Nguyen Dang Trung said it was necessary to keep the strict punishment considering the current corruption climate.
Moreover, the battle against corruption and taking bribes was a top priority for the Communist Party and the government, he said.
Chief Justice of the HCMC People’s Court, Bui Hoang Danh, also suggested “careful consideration” was needed before excluding bribe-taking and graft offenders from the death sentence.
Environmental protection laws needed more specific definitions of “serious consequences,” the National Assembly’s representative, Tran Dong A, said adding that stronger penalties for such violations were needed.
The city’s legal experts also agreed there should be more laws to deal with internet crime with strict penalties and suggested that the financial baselines that define the severity of crimes be increased because of rising prices.
