Gyeonggi-do Will Not Participate in This Year's Anti-Corruption Policy Evaluation by the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission: Why?
[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Gyeonggi Province will not undergo the public institution anti-corruption policy evaluation this year. This is the first time since 2002 that Gyeonggi Province has been excluded from the evaluation target. However, the public institution integrity measurement will be conducted in the form of a survey from August to November.
The province announced on the 30th that it was excluded from the '2020 Public Institution Anti-Corruption Policy Evaluation' by the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission (ACRC) after receiving an excellent grade or higher for two consecutive years in both integrity measurement and anti-corruption policy evaluation.
The ACRC previously announced that six institutions, including Gyeonggi Province, Yongin City, and Hwaseong City, would be excluded from this year's anti-corruption policy evaluation.
The exemption criteria for the anti-corruption policy evaluation are institutions that have received an excellent grade (Grade 2) or higher in integrity for two consecutive years, have no penalty points for corruption incidents, and received a 'Grade 2 or higher' in the 2019 anti-corruption policy evaluation.
The province achieved an excellent grade (Grade 2) in the ACRC integrity evaluation in December last year, marking two consecutive years of achieving Grade 2. In January, it also received the highest grade (Grade 1) in the anti-corruption policy evaluation, achieving the highest grade for two consecutive years.
