[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Dong-wook] Daegu City announced on the 11th that it has prepared 42 detailed tasks for integrity policies this year with the goal of achieving a high ranking in integrity, and will actively promote them focusing on performance management of department heads.

In the integrity evaluation of special and metropolitan cities conducted by the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission, Daegu City remained at grade 3 out of 1 to 5 for three consecutive years since 2018.

As an emergency measure to overcome this situation, monitoring (text messages and phone calls) and feedback on various processed civil complaints will be conducted under the responsibility of senior officials (such as division and bureau chiefs), and each department's self-assessed integrity will be evaluated by an external agency, with the results reflected in the department heads' performance management (BSC).

Additionally, the 'Citizen Participation Intensive Audit System' will be expanded during the initiation of various audits to ensure fairness and transparency. To enhance the effectiveness of the public interest reporting system, related ordinances will be revised to thoroughly prevent the exposure of whistleblowers' identities, and a proxy lawyer system called the 'Public Interest Reporting Safe and Considerate Lawyer System' will be introduced.

In particular, to strengthen communication and integrity capabilities through the use of excellent books, about 25 pages of key contents in illustrated form were concisely created by subdividing the approximately 200-page book titled “The Public Official Born in the 90s Has Arrived” published by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, and distributed to about 1,200 people including team leaders and above (including grade 6 team leaders at business offices).

Daegu City explained that by strongly and concisely delivering the valuable thoughts of the increasingly numerous millennial generation public officials and the stories that senior officials tell to their juniors, it will help create an atmosphere of rising integrity through communication and integration between generations.

Daegu Mayor Kwon Young-jin emphasized, "Integrity is directly connected to the pride of public officials, so we will improve integrity through thorough service and fair work processing for both internal and external customers, and link the measurement results to performance management."
