The Chinese capital promised to host a "clean" Olympics here Wednesday as its top official vowed to tighten anti-corruption efforts on the preparations for the 2008 event.
"We must tighten auditing and monitoring efforts on the preparatory work of the Olympics to prevent all potential (corruption) problems," said Liu Qi, secretary of the Chinese Communist Party's Beijing Municipal Committee.
Efforts must be made to ensure that staff members involved in the Olympic preparations and venue construction projects remain on track, Liu was quoted as saying by Wednesday's Beijing Daily.
Liu, who is also chairman of the Beijing Organizing Committee for the 2008 Olympics, was speaking following an announcement by the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspections of the expulsion of former Beijing vice mayor Liu Zhihua from the Party.
Liu Zhihua, who had also been dismissed from all administrative posts, was found to have taken millions of yuan in bribes by taking advantage of his official position.
Liu Zhihua was elected vice mayor in 1999 in charge of overseeing construction, real estate, sports and traffic projects in the capital.
