alt 244 corrupt officials punished by anti-graft authorities last week.
 
Misuse of government vehicles was the top violation out of 174 cases of corrupt officials who were punished last week, the country's top anti-graft agency announced on Monday.
 
Disciplinary authorities nationwide have found that government vehicles had been misused in 33 cases, according to the Communist Party of China Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.
 
Last week, 244 officials were punished for various misbehaviours, including violating the frugality rules, sightseeing on public expense and drinking alcohol during lunch breaks on workdays, according to the anti-graft agency.
 
Of those cases, 23 involved officials giving illegal subsidies to civil servants, 20 related to officials playing mahjong or shopping online during work time, and 10 showed officials were late for work.
 
The officials' names and titles were publicized on the commission's website. So far, 719 cases have been exposed on the website since April 8.
 
Violators were given penalties that included warnings, administrative demerits and even removal from posts.
 
Twenty-two of the punished officials were accused of accepting gifts and money for occasions such as birthdays, new residences, weddings and even funerals.
 
The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection has forbidden officials from throwing grand actions for weddings and birthdays since some officials have taken advantage of such events to receive money “often as bribes” from subordinates jockeying for promotion, or from businesses seeking contracts or regulatory approval.
 
All of the cases violated the "eight-point" rules put forward by the CPC Central Committee in December 2012. Government officials are required to get closer to the public by cleaning up undesirable work styles, including extravagance and self-indulgence.
 
A total of 30,420 officials were punished by disciplinary authorities last year for violating the frugality rules, according to the Party's anti-graft agency.
