[Sejong=Asia Economy Reporter Moon Chaeseok] The Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission announced on the 2nd that out of 1,924 corrective recommendations or opinions issued to 285 government ministries, local governments, and public institutions from the inauguration of the Moon Jae-in administration until the end of last year, 1,822 were accepted, achieving an acceptance rate of 94.7%.

Jeon Hyun-hee, Chairperson of the Commission, held a briefing at the Government Seoul Office that morning and said, "This is the highest achievement in rights relief since the Commission's establishment."

Earlier, on March 2nd, President Moon Jae-in received a report on the 'Status of Acceptance of Grievance Recommendations' at the Cabinet meeting and instructed to examine whether there are cases where recommendations, despite being reasonable, were rejected by various agencies causing difficulties for the public.

In response, the Commission devised measures to improve the acceptance rate and conducted a focused inspection of 248 cases in 111 agencies with unresolved grievances. As a result, various agencies acknowledged the validity of the recommendations and accepted an additional 88 cases.

However, 38 agencies still have 57 unresolved grievance cases. The reasons for non-acceptance were ▲ difficulties due to laws and regulations (25 cases, 43.9%) ▲ difficulties due to impact, fairness, and budget shortages (22 cases, 38.6%) ▲ differences from internal review committee results (10 cases, 17.5%).

Chairperson Jeon stated, "We will strive to further improve the acceptance rate of local governments and public institutions closely related to the daily lives of citizens."

The Commission plans to reorganize the comprehensive civil service evaluation system to include central government ministries as subjects for recommendation acceptance rate evaluation and to establish legal grounds for disclosing non-acceptance of recommendations, among other measures.
