Vice Chairman of the Ha Noi People’s Committee Le Hong Son to temporarily lead the Ha Noi Municipal People’s Committee
Le Hong Son was born in 1964 in Hoang Duc commune, Hoang Hoa district, Thanh Hoa province.
He served as Deputy Minister of Justice before becoming Permanent Vice Chairman of the municipal People's Committee.
On June 7, the Ha Noi People's Council voted unanimously to remove Chu Ngoc Anh from the the post of Chairman of the municipal People's Committee for violations of Party and State regulations.
The move came following a decision from the Party Central Committee a day earlier to expel the Ha Noi Chairman from the Communist Party for his involvement in the Covid-19 test kit scam by Viet A Company.
Viet A was alleged of inflating the price of its COVID-19 test kit by 45% before selling it to health facilities across the country for unfair gains./.
