Yeonggwang-gun Achieves 'Grade 2' in Comprehensive Integrity Evaluation

[Yeonggwang=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jeonseong] Jeonnam Yeonggwang-gun (Governor Kim Junsung) announced on the 9th that it achieved a "Comprehensive Integrity Level 2" rating, rising two levels from last year, in the "2021 Public Institution Integrity Evaluation" announced by the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission.

The county received a high integrity rating, with a comprehensive integrity score of 8.41 points, rising two levels compared to last year, and an external integrity rating also rising by two levels.

In addition, to improve integrity, the county established a high-intensity integrity improvement plan consisting of 20 policies in three areas last January.

Starting with all public officials, including the governor, signing an integrity pledge, the county also promoted integrity practice campaigns, integrity satisfaction surveys, "Integrity Han" stories with the vice governor, and integrity concerts.

In particular, focusing on improving external integrity as a key task, the county carried out activities to prevent collusion between public officials and civil petitioners in construction contracts and implementation, subsidy projects, permits and approvals, and strengthened audit activities in areas vulnerable to corruption, making every effort to create an honest public service culture.

Governor Kim Junsung said, "This evaluation result is the outcome of all employees' commitment to integrity," and added, "Next year, we will do our best to eradicate corrupt practices and practice fair work processing to establish an integrity-based public service culture that citizens can truly feel, and to create a happy Yeonggwang together with the citizens."
