近年來“吃空餉”現象頻現,已成為侵蝕財政資金的“黑洞”。河北、四川、河南、吉林四省已有10萬余“吃空餉”者現形,其中不乏邊上學邊領錢的“娃娃官”。“官倉鼠”頑癥曝出不少編制管理之亂。
請看《中國日報》的報道:
More than 100,000 "phantom employees" of provincial governments have been cleaned out of civil servant teams in Hebei, Sichuan, Henan and Jilin provinces since a national campaign was launched last year, requiring stricter measures to keep government teams clean and efficient, experts said.
自從去年發起一次全國范圍的整治運動,河北、四川、河南、吉林四省已經有10萬余吃空晌人員被清理出公務員隊伍。專家表示,政府要保持廉潔高效需要采取更嚴厲的措施。
“吃空晌”的英文表達是being paid although they did not work,而“吃空晌人員”則被形象地表達為phantom employees。
吃空晌人員通常在政府或public institutes(事業單位)中占據職位,雖然不工作,但卻能定期拿到薪水。Lack of effective supervision from higher authorities(上級機關缺乏監管)和light punishments after exposure(被發現后處罰太輕)是吃空晌屢禁不止的重要原因。
