Gimcheon-si Operates Anonymous Reporting System 'Cheongnyeom Pasukkun' ... "Function to Prevent Public Office Corruption"

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Dong-wook] Gimcheon City, Gyeongbuk Province (Mayor Kim Chung-seop) announced that from the 15th, it will operate an anonymous reporting system called 'Integrity Watchdog' that allows public officials' corrupt acts and anti-integrity behaviors to be reported confidentially.

This system can be used by any citizen through the Gimcheon City website without a separate membership registration process. From March, it will also be accessible via mobile phones.

In particular, by omitting the login process and preventing IP tracking through an external professional organization's website, the identity of the whistleblower is thoroughly protected, allowing reports not only on public officials' corruption such as bribery, entertainment, and solicitation but also on public officials' unkindness and passive work handling without the burden of identity exposure.

Received reports are transmitted in real-time to the Integrity Audit Office, the responsible department. By registering the processing results again on the external professional organization's website, only the whistleblower can check the status using the unique number assigned at the time of reporting.

Lee Sam-geun, head of the Integrity Audit Office, stated, "With this system in operation, it is expected to serve as an opportunity for public officials to refine their mindset and function to prevent public corruption in advance."
