Carefully Reviewing the Fulfillment of Campaign Promises

[Goheung=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] On the 28th, Goheung-gun, Jeollanam-do, held the “Self-Evaluation Report Meeting on the Promises of the 7th Elected Term” at Heungyang Hall in the county office, attended by about 30 people including County Governor Song and heads of departments, the county announced on the 29th.

The self-evaluation report meeting on the promises was held to review the overall progress of the pledged projects before the county administration evaluation committee’s assessment of the promises, to check the achievements so far, and to prepare countermeasures to improve the implementation rate of the pledged projects.

Among a total of 113 promises, 46 have already been completed, including △attracting the National Smart Farm Innovation Valley △implementing one-stop services for returning farmers, fishermen, and settlers △creating jobs for the elderly and operating support centers △developing Goheung’s representative festivals △applying a single fare system of 1,000 won for island area ferry rides.

Additionally, 67 promises are progressing smoothly, such as △constructing the Goheung Senior Health Welfare Town △securing public parking lots around Goheung Terminal △tourism resource development of Goheung’s historical and cultural figures △developing an integrated brand for agricultural, fishery, and livestock products △creating a youth cultural house as an educational and cultural complex space △solving water problems in areas lacking domestic water supply.

In particular, attendees of the report meeting sought solutions that could be jointly addressed by central government ministries and Jeollanam-do for 11 pending promises requiring significant budget and time, including △expansion and paving of the 4-lane national highway from Goheung to Bongrae △supplying city gas to Doyang-eup △opening the entire coastal road around Goheung.

Governor Song emphasized, “Although the 7th elected term promises total 113, which is more than the Jeonnam local government average of 69, since these are promises made to the residents, prepare measures to complete the ongoing promises early based on the discussions at the self-evaluation report meeting.” He added, “From 2021, we will further strengthen on-site inspections to improve the promise fulfillment rate.”

Goheung-gun plans to receive an objective evaluation of the promise implementation from 30 county administration evaluation committee members from the residents’ perspective based on the self-evaluation results, and at the end of the year, hold a report meeting on the results of the residents’ evaluation of the 7th elected term promises with the evaluation committee members.
