[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] The Gwangyang Bay Area Free Economic Zone Council (Chairman Oh Ha-geun, Jeonnam Provincial Assembly member, Suncheon) announced that it conducted an administrative audit of the Gwangyang Bay Area Free Economic Zone Authority from the 28th to the 30th of last month, pointing out a total of 27 cases (7 improvements, 20 recommendations) and adopted the audit result report.

This regular meeting was held with the participation of Council Chairman Oh Ha-geun and council members, as well as Director Kim Gap-seop and executive officials, proceeding in the order of listening to this year’s major business reports, Q&A sessions, and on-site inspections of business locations.

In the administrative audit, Chairman Oh Ha-geun (a Jeonnam Provincial Assembly member from Suncheon) demonstrated outstanding activities based on his profound knowledge and seasoned legislative experience.

During the Q&A, Chairman Oh attracted attention by proposing a two-top system policy alternative that serves as a foundation for practicing resident-friendly and impressive administration while driving regional economic revitalization.

First, regarding the construction of officetels on the E1 site in the Shindae district, apart from the decisions of the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission, he requested that residents’ opinions of Shindae be given top priority when holding future public hearings, and when promoting the East Branch Office project, that the lanes of Maean-ro be expanded to ensure no inconvenience for residents using the road.

Next, during the on-site audit at Gwangyang Aluminum Co., Ltd. in the Sepung Industrial Complex, after receiving a report from President Kim Ho-jung on the factory completion schedule and the plan to hire about 400 employees, he urged active hiring of residents from Suncheon City, the area surrounding the factory, and pointed out that Suncheon Haeryong residents were excluded from the discussion process during the four-party agreement on the Ming Tai Gwangyang Aluminum factory, requesting that residents be involved in a 4+1 format.
