Amway Vietnam tries to deflect accusations
On January 16, the Ministry of Industry and Trade announced a number of wrongdoings at two multi-level marketing companies, Amway Vietnam and Thien Ngoc Minh Uy. According to the ministry, Amway Vietnam couldn't prove that it had informed several departments of industry and trade across the country when it changed its business licence content on multiple occasions.
In addition, even though the company have training courses for their distributors, it doesn't have any measures to ensure that the distributors have followed and understood the courses.
On January 18, Bui Khanh Nguyen, Amway Vietnam Company's PR director, said they had had difficulties with the administrative procedures. He went on to say that the Ministry of Industry and Trade was gathering opinions from all agencies and multi-level marketing firms for a new draft about multi-level marketing management.
He said, "Our difficulties have been known. The new draft will have many changes to tighten control over multi-level marketing but also create favourable conditions for the firms to continue business."
Nguyen said the company didn't have any other violations.
