Lee Jae-myung "Local council evaluation should be improved based on the number of ordinances"... Concerns over administrative rigidity

[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Lee Jae-myung, Governor of Gyeonggi Province, argued that the current evaluation criterion for local council members, 'performance in ordinance enactment,' carries many problems such as administrative rigidity.

At a New Year's press briefing held on the 6th at the Gyeonggi Governor's official residence in Paldal-gu, Suwon, Governor Lee said, "Since the central party evaluates local council members based on ordinances, unnecessary ones are being created," adding, "The problem is that by continuously enacting ordinances on projects already underway, even projects that the province used to handle at its discretion become mandatory and rigid."

He specifically mentioned, "In some cases, certain projects are fixed in city or county ordinances."

Governor Lee expressed concern, saying, "The current absolute quantification of ordinance enactment by the central party to evaluate provincial council members could lead to administrative rigidity over time and potentially escalate into a serious situation."
