The anti-corruption agency of the Communist Party of China (CPC) encouraged whistleblowers to act on official "malpractices", pledging to name and shame those involved, it said on Tuesday.
The CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) opened a new section on its website for the public to report any "undesirable work styles" such as lavish banquets, tourism and gift-sending using public money, especially ahead of the May Day holiday.
The move aims to enhance public supervision of the government and make reporting such acts easier in order to deepen the CPC's frugality campaign, said the CCDI on its website.
The CPC's eight-point frugality campaign started on Dec. 4, 2012, with the aim to reduce pomp, ceremony, bureaucracy and other undesirable work practices.
The web section will name and shame officials who violate the frugality rules starting from April 20 on a weekly basis, and the CCDI welcomes netizens' suggestions on improving official conduct.
