[Sejong=Asia Economy Reporter Moon Chaeseok] The government will operate a concentrated reporting period for public officials' misconduct, such as personnel solicitation and pursuit of unfair benefits, before the Conflict of Interest Prevention Act takes effect next year.

The Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission (ACRC) announced that, together with the Blue House Civil Affairs Office, the Office for Government Policy Coordination, and the Board of Audit and Inspection, it will accept concentrated reports from the 1st to July 31.

Reports can be made through the ACRC's 'Integrity Portal' website, the Sejong Special Self-Governing City Comprehensive Civil Complaint Counseling Center, visits or mail to the Seoul Government Joint Civil Complaint Center. Consultations are available nationwide without area codes by calling 1398 or 110.

Anyone can report, and the confidentiality of the reporter is strictly guaranteed. The ACRC protects reporters from any disadvantages arising from their reports. Even if illegal acts by the reporter are discovered, penalties or disciplinary actions may be reduced.

Kim Gi-seon, Director of the ACRC's Review and Protection Bureau, said, "Since it will take time to fully implement the Conflict of Interest Prevention Act, we will do our best to establish public service discipline through this concentrated reporting period."
