[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Dong-wook] Gimcheon City in Gyeongbuk announced on the 15th that it will launch a special inspection to establish public service discipline ahead of the Chuseok holiday.

Gimcheon City explained that since this Chuseok comes amid a chaotic social atmosphere due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, the inspection aims to prevent inappropriate behavior by public officials, which should serve as a driving force to overcome the crisis.

Gimcheon City has organized an inspection team of 14 members divided into four groups, led by the head of the Integrity Audit Office, to conduct undercover inspections from the 17th to October 8th targeting the main office, affiliated institutions, business offices, and towns, townships, and neighborhoods. The inspection will focus on whether public officials comply with quarantine measures related to social distancing level 2, any laxity in public service discipline during the Chuseok holiday, and delays or neglect in handling civil complaints.

An official from the city's Integrity Audit Office emphasized, "We will prevent violations of the Public Officials' Code of Conduct and the Improper Solicitation and Graft Act in advance to foster a clean public service atmosphere and build citizens' trust."
