Naju-si Conducts 'Anti-Corruption Integrity Training' for Senior Officials

[Naju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yukbong] Jeollanam-do Naju City (Mayor Kang In-gyu) announced on the 25th that it conducted anti-corruption and integrity education to prevent conflicts of interest in public officials for executives at grade 5 and above in the main conference room of the city hall.

This education was conducted to establish individual standards of conduct and awareness of corruption levels among public officials through understanding and various cases related to the "Public Officials Conflict of Interest Prevention Act," which is scheduled to be enforced on May 19 next year.

The Conflict of Interest Prevention Act is a bill passed by the National Assembly on April 29 to prevent public officials from performing their duties unfairly and lacking integrity due to their private interests while carrying out their official duties.

Approximately 2 million public officials are subject to this law, including those in the legislative, judicial, and executive branches, local government officials, and employees of public institutions.

Lee Jeong-hee, Vice Chairman of the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission, who was invited as a lecturer, explained the ten main types of the law, including "reporting conflict of interest situations," "restrictions on acts of concern for unfairness or impropriety," "prohibition of private use of job-related matters," "prior prevention and management of corrupt acts," and "post-sanctions for corrupt acts."

Mayor Kang In-gyu said, "I hope that executives will take the lead in continuous self-purification efforts to block corruption and gain citizens' trust in city administration," and added, "Please also focus on employee education by department so that a culture of integrity can spread within the organization through a deep understanding of the Conflict of Interest Prevention Act."

Meanwhile, the city is promoting various policies such as "continuous monitoring of corruption-prone areas," "sharing anti-corruption policies with other regions through integrity consulting," and the "Bitgaram Integrity Festival," aiming to realize a clean Naju through autonomous control and self-purification efforts.
