Disciplinary Responsibility of State Civil Servants for Violation of Legislation in the Sphere of Strategic Planning and Counteraction to Corruption
The article scrutinizes topical issues of functioning of the strategic planning system in the Russian Federation insofar as it concerns the establishment of liability for violation of legislation in this field. The interrelationship between strategic planning and counteracting corruption in Russia is determined. The authors provide for the analysis of disciplinary offenses committed in the implementation of strategic planning carried out by state bodies and their officials, and give reasons to rank violations committed by state civil servants in order to impose a relevant penalty. The authors propose to develop and implement methodological recommendations concerning differentiation of wrongdoings in the sphere of strategic planning that take into account specificities of violations committed and their consequences for the public administration system and society as a whole. Moreover, taking into account the frequency of gross wrongdoings in the sphere of strategic planning and the practice of imposing penalties, the authors conclude that it is important to amend the Federal Law "On the Civil Service of the Russian Federation" with a view to emshrining responsibility for poor planning and unsatisfactory implementation of state programs that cause damage to the society and the state.
