Gwangju Dong-gu, Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission Comprehensive Integrity Rating 'Grade 2' for 2 Consecutive Years

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Dong-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (Mayor Im Taek) received a grade equivalent to the "highest level" in the '2020 Public Institution Integrity Evaluation.'

According to Dong-gu on the 11th, the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission announced the results of the '2020 Public Institution Integrity Measurement' on the 9th, and Dong-gu was selected as an excellent institution for two consecutive years by receiving a grade 2 again this year following last year.

Dong-gu, which received a grade 5 in 2017, has established a comprehensive plan to improve integrity and has been promoting a high-intensity integrity policy since the launch of the 7th local government in July 2018.

As a result, last year, it received grade 2, the highest grade among the five autonomous districts including Gwangju Metropolitan City, and this year, it achieved the same grade 2, the best score among Gwangju’s autonomous districts.

To improve overall integrity, Dong-gu made strenuous efforts to enhance integrity by autonomously activating internal controls such as ▲ issuing integrity advisories during vulnerable periods ▲ operating Integrity Clean-call ▲ revitalizing online and offline corruption reporting ▲ operating the Cheongbaek-e system to check and prevent errors and corruption among public officials in advance.

Mayor Im Taek of Dong-gu said, "As a result of implementing a strong integrity policy with active participation from employees, we achieved grade 2 in integrity again last year," and added, "We will continue to devote ourselves to creating a clean public service culture so that Dong-gu becomes a cleaner district trusted more by residents."

Meanwhile, public institution integrity is calculated based on survey results from 580 public institutions, including responses from citizens with experience working with public institutions (external integrity) and public officials in public institutions (internal integrity), as well as the status of corruption incidents.
