[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Muan-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 16th that it will conduct a high-intensity special inspection to establish public service discipline until the 31st, as COVID-19 infections rapidly spread in the local community, to ensure that public officials fulfill their responsibilities and roles as servants to the residents.


County Governor Kim San stated at the executive meeting on the 13th, "Despite the emergency situation caused by COVID-19, the laxity in public service discipline among officials has gone beyond acceptable limits," adding, "This is an act of forgetting the fundamental duty of public officials as servants to the residents and is the result of the organizational command system not functioning properly. I ordered thorough organizational management by senior officials along with a strong public service inspection by the audit department."


Accordingly, the county set the special inspection period from the 14th to the 31st and will apply the strengthened social distancing level 2 measures during this period, including making mask-wearing a daily habit, banning golf and all staff gatherings, to conduct public service inspections.


Additionally, inspection activities will be carried out regarding cases such as drunk driving, compliance with commuting and lunch hours, business trip management, handling of civil complaints, negligence in duties, and violations of the public officials' code of conduct.



Governor Kim San emphasized, "In the global disaster situation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, it is important for all county office employees to take the lead and set an example to wisely overcome this crisis," and stated, "During this special inspection period, any violations detected will be dealt with strictly under a zero-tolerance policy."
