Originally from Ninghe County, Hebei Province, he was born in Shenyang in January 1951. He started from the grassroots level and served as deputy director of the Industrial Department of the Shenyang Municipal Planning Commission of Liaoning Province, deputy director of the Shenyang Municipal Planning Commission, deputy secretary of the District Committee and District Chief of Dadong District of Shenyang City, and other positions. In June 1989, 38-year-old Liu Ketian served as assistant to the mayor of Shenyang Municipal Government. In August of the following year, he was elected deputy mayor. In February 1995, at the age of 44, he was elected vice governor of Liaoning Province at the third session of the eighth session of the Liaoning Provincial People's Congress. From deputy mayor to deputy governor, Liu Ketian almost became a big "star" that everyone envied in Liaoning officialdom. In January 1998, he was re-elected as Vice Governor of Liaoning Province, in charge of the Provincial Department of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, Foreign Affairs Office (Overseas Chinese Affairs Office), Taiwan Affairs Office, Information Office, Tourism Bureau, Council for the Promotion of International Trade, Commerce Bureau, Grain Bureau, Supply and Marketing Cooperatives, and Products The group, Zhongliao International Group, is responsible for ports, combating smuggling, and foreign expert work, and is responsible for contacting the Material Reserve Bureau, China Grain Reserves Shenyang Company, customs, and the Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau. With so many areas under his jurisdiction, Liu Ketian has a high position and authority, and he keeps his word. In June 1998, after Liu Ketian said hello himself, he asked his secretary to find the leader of Shenyang Construction Bank to handle the extension of the repayment of a 30 million yuan loan from the Construction Bank for the Passenger Transport Group. What Xia Renfan failed to accomplish after a lot of effort, Liu Ketian could easily get it done by just asking his secretary to come forward.
At the end of 1999, Xia Renfan caused trouble again. The company's tax evasion was discovered by the finance and taxation department. After verification, it was found that the passenger transport company had evaded tens of millions of yuan in taxes. As a result, the Liaoning Provincial Local Taxation Bureau issued a fine and ordered the passenger transport company to immediately pay the tax payable and fines of ***28 million yuan. , because Xia Renfan kept procrastinating, he had to pay a considerable late fee.
Xia Renfan felt very uncomfortable when the tax bureau took away a huge sum of nearly 30 million yuan from the passenger transport company in a single order. In desperation, he found the deputy governor Liu Ketian. Liu Ketian called the leaders of the Provincial Taxation Bureau, and the matter was never mentioned again, and finally dropped.
In 1999, Xia Renfan found a Chinese Australian named Ying and asked him if he could help sponsor his trip abroad. After further understanding, Ying told Xia Renfan: "There are many types of immigration in Australia, including investment immigration, business owner immigration, senior management and business talent immigration, etc. In addition, there are family immigration and skilled immigration. Family immigration includes spouse immigration, Child immigration, parent immigration, other family member immigration and care immigration; while skilled immigrants can be divided into general skilled immigrants and employer-sponsored immigrants. General skilled immigrants are further divided into independent skilled immigrants, family-sponsored skilled immigrants, and skill-matching immigrants.”< /p>
Xia Renfan felt a headache after hearing this, and said: "Can you put it more simply, what is the most convenient way?" Among them, foreign language proficiency alone is difficult for many people, and it is not easy to meet all of them. I think the most convenient way for Governor Liu’s daughter is to engage in corporate immigration.” , Ying Mou explained in detail the various conditions for corporate immigration. Xia Renfan said: "Let me be clear, how much does it cost to get Governor Liu's daughter out?" Ying said: "I think 200,000 US dollars is about the same. I can help you with the specific matters."< /p>
After Xia Renfan agreed, he and Ying Mou went to find Liu Ketian. The three of them talked about helping Liu Ketian's daughter obtain a visa to Australia by registering a business in Australia. Liu Ketian agreed.
At the end of 1999, Xia Renfan used public funds from the Passenger Transport Group to obtain US$200,000 and gave it to Ying as the cost of registering a company for Liu's daughter to apply for a visa to Australia. But in fact, if you register a business in Australia, you cannot immediately apply for a visa to Australia. During that time, the wealthy people surrounding Liu Ketian all knew that Liu Ketian wanted his daughter to study in Australia. Someone who was more proactive helped to come up with a smarter and faster way, so Liu Ketian's daughter quickly applied for a visa to Australia. After Xia Renfan learned about it, he called Ying to approve it. He felt that his movements were slow and that he was a beat too slow to flatter others, which allowed others to take advantage of him.
Xia Renfan asked Ying to buy a house in Sydney with the US$200,000 and give it to Liu Ketian's daughter. Unexpectedly, just a year later, the political situation in Shenyang began to be turbulent. Xia Renfan was placed under double supervision by the Shenyang Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection in February 2001 due to alleged financial problems. In addition, the cases of Mu Suixin and Ma Xiangdong made Liu Ketian so anxious that he could not sleep at night. Liu Ketian asked Ying to come and discuss countermeasures. He told Ying: "If the prosecutor's office finds you, don't say that this house was given to my daughter. This matter has nothing to do with us." Ying was also afraid of losing the backing of senior officials, which would affect his future business. He tried every means to encourage Liu Ketian and said: "It will be okay. Even if someone puts a knife on my neck, I won't say anything. Besides, I am Australian and your daughter is also in Australia. Our affairs are all It's not that easy for them to investigate if it happens abroad. Don't worry, I will take care of it."
Liu Ketian hesitated and said, "I think it's better to sell the house. If you buy the house, there will be no physical evidence, don't you think so?" Ying said, "Okay, I'll sell it when I get back. After selling it, I'll give the money to your daughter," Xia Renfan said. No matter how much you get, it won't affect you.
"After returning to Australia, Ying immediately sold the house. Then, between March and May 2002, he handed over the sale money to Liu's daughter several times.
Liu Ketian thought that things were done well The suit was perfect, and since he was the deputy governor, even if Xia Renfan dared to betray the leaders of Shenyang City, he might not be betrayed to him as the provincial leader. Unexpectedly, on February 10, 2003, after Xia Renfan was sentenced to death at the first trial, in order to protect himself, He started to "bite" people, and finally told his story. On August 10, 2003, Liu Ketian and his wife were detained by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.
Liu Ketian was still in front of the investigators. He put on the air of being a deputy governor and tried to judge his merits. However, what frightened him the most was that in another room, the Australian-Chinese businessman Ying, who claimed that he could not speak even if a knife was placed on his neck, was prosecuting. The investigators truthfully told the authorities about the house purchase and sale. The investigators rushed to Australia and found the relevant records of the house purchase and sale, as well as the original bank records of each time Ying had withdrawn the house sale money from Liu's daughter. In the face of the irrefutable evidence, Liu Ketian finally gave in. At the same time, he also explained a series of issues about accepting gifts. From 2000 to 2002, Liu Ketian took advantage of his position to accept huge bribes for his daughter to study abroad. In addition, Liu Ketian also made the mistake of accepting gifts. Approved, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection approved the decision of the Liaoning Provincial Committee to expel Liu Ketian from the party; the Ministry of Supervision decided to impose administrative expulsion on Liu Ketian, and submitted it to the State Council for approval. The Standing Committee of the Liaoning Provincial People's Congress dismissed Liu Ketian from the positions of deputy governor and deputy of the People's Congress of Liaoning Province in accordance with the law. Liu Ketian was suspected of taking bribes, and the case was handed over to the judicial authorities for handling according to law. The report pointed out that Liu Ketian was a typical example of using his power to seek personal gain for his children. The result was that he harmed both his children and himself. Leaders at all levels must learn from Liu Ketian's case. A profound lesson, always remember that power is given by the people and can only be used to benefit the people and can never be used to seek personal gain; if you use power as a means to seek personal gain for yourself and your children, you will inevitably embark on the path of violating discipline and law. .
The notification requires that leading cadres at all levels should attach great importance to the cause of the party and the people, educate their children to establish lofty ideals, and train their children to be useful talents in building socialism with Chinese characteristics. They must not abuse the party. We must deeply study and model the important thinking of the "Three Represents", insist on building the party for the public and governing for the people, strictly demand ourselves, modelly abide by party discipline and state laws, and strive to "serve the people and serve the people". "Pragmatic and honest", set an example for our children, leave good styles and traditions to future generations, and leave behind the high integrity of the Communists. Liu Ketian, deputy governor of the Liaoning Provincial People's Government, has constituted a serious violation of discipline for accepting bribes and gifts. , was dismissed from the position of deputy governor of Liaoning Province and deputy to the People's Congress of Liaoning Province within this week.
Liu Ketian is a native of Ninghe County, Hebei Province, male, and of Han nationality. He has been appointed to the Shenyang Municipal Government since August 1990. Vice Mayor; Vice Governor of the Liaoning Provincial Government since February 1995.
The second plenary meeting of the Sixth Session of the Standing Committee of the 10th Liaoning Provincial People's Congress voted and decided to be exempted. Go to Liu Ketian's position as deputy governor of the Liaoning Provincial People's Government. The removal motion submitted by the Liaoning Provincial People's Government to the Standing Committee of the Liaoning Provincial People's Congress stated that Liu Ketian had committed a serious violation of discipline by accepting bribes and gifts.
The seventh meeting of the Standing Committee of the 13th People’s Congress of Shenyang City removed Liu Ketian from the position of representative of the 10th People’s Congress of Liaoning Province in accordance with the law and submitted it to the Representative Qualification Review Committee of the Standing Committee of the Liaoning Provincial People’s Congress. The "Report on the Removal of Liu Ketian as a Representative of the Tenth People's Congress of Liaoning Province" was issued.
The Standing Committee of the Tenth People’s Congress of Liaoning Province issued Announcement No. 8 announcing that, in accordance with Article 40 of the Law of the People’s Republic of China on Representatives to the National People’s Congress and Local People’s Congresses at All Levels, According to the provisions of Article 2, Liu Ketian's qualifications as a representative of the 10th People's Congress of Liaoning Province were terminated. Unlike some other cadres, Liu Ketian has always been a "good official" in the eyes of the masses. After the "Muma Case", due to the "domino effect", corrupt officials who were arrested exposed each other, leading to the arrest of corrupt officials in Liaoshen area one after another. However, Liu Ketian remained on the throne of deputy governor for a time, which only increased the admiration of many cadres and the masses for him. No one would have thought that a few years later, he would follow in the footsteps of the "Mu Ma" and be "double-regulated" by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.
Liu Ketian is a studious student in the eyes of his teacher. After becoming an official, Liu Ketian returned to Liaoning University to study for a doctorate in economics. According to his doctoral supervisor, when he first took the Ph.D. exam, he had “good English scores, and because he has been engaged in foreign economic and trade work for a long time, he has a good understanding of macroeconomics.” Liu Ketian's doctoral thesis was titled "Introduction to Macroeconomics", and a well-known economist wrote a preface for it. His doctoral supervisor commented: "Quite good."
Some people sympathize with Liu Ketian because he usually "lives a simple life" ", act low-key" and was eventually "harmed" by Xia Renfan. Xia Renfan is Liu Ketian's classmate. Liu Ketian takes care of Xia Renfan, partly out of friendship with his classmates. He thought Xia Renfan was the most reliable and the most loyal person. Xia Renfan may and indeed is more "fraternal". When he confessed to many corrupt officials, he never reported Liu Ketian's name. But in order to save his life, he still risked his life and had no choice but to let Liu Ketian "back him up".
